1. Start with the Right Posture

Always measure your dog while they are standing up straight.

2. Measuring the Back

From the top of their shoulder blades (those little sharp bones at the base of the neck) to the start of the tail.

3. Chest Girth – The Most Important One!

This measurement should be taken at the widest part of the chest, which is usually just behind the front legs, around the armpit area.

4. Neck Girth

Measure around the widest part of the neck.

🤷 What If My Dog Doesn’t Match One Size Exactly?

Totally normal!

✔️ Chest fit is most important.
If your dog’s chest fits in one size but the back is a bit short, you can size up one size for more coverage.
❌ Avoid sizing up more than one size—it might look baggy or cause discomfort.
❌ Never size down—even a stretchy band won’t save a garment that’s too tight.

✳️ Remember: the clothing should be a few centimeters larger than your dog's measurements, as the sizes in the table refer to the garment itself, not the dog.

📷 Need a Visual? Let’s Talk Pandora!

Here are Pandora’s measurements:

• Back length: 49 cm
• Chest girth: 55 cm
• Neck girth: 29 cm

On paper, she matches the W1 size—but in reality, W1 is too tight, as the measurements are for the clothing not for the dog.

She fits best in:

• W2 for a snug, clean fit
• W3 for a slightly looser, more relaxed look

I’ve included some photos of her in different sizes to help you visualize the fit (scroll below 👇).
