How To Measure Your Dog

Measuring your dog for a Harness

Ensure your dog is standing UPRIGHT in the neutral position.

Simply wrap a tape measure around the mid-torso region away from the front legs and measure. DO NOTplace the tape measure directly behind the front legs where the chest is deepest.  Our harnesses are designed to ensure that front leg gait is not interfered with.  Not sure? Follow the diagram below.

If you don't have a tape measure a piece of string can be used and then placed against a ruler for a measurement. 

 Our harnesses are set sizing as follows:

  • SMALL – FITS 34 – 40cm (approx weight 2.8kg - 5kg)
  • MEDIUM – FITS 40 – 45cm (approx weight 5kg - 7.3kg)
  • LARGE – FITS 46 – 50cm (approx weight 7.3kg - 10.5kg)
  • XL  - FITS 51 – 56cm (approx weight 10.5 kg and greater)

Please note weights are approximate however measurement is most important as dogs can vary in size and weight.

If you are ordering an underbelly buckle please let us know your dogs measurement when ordering to ensure we add the underbelly buckle to fit securely. 

PLEASE NOTE AT TIME OF ORDERING THAT HARNESSES ARE PRE-CUT TO SIZING AND MADE UP ONCE AN ORDER IS PLACED.  PLEASE ALLOW FOR MAKING TIME.

SOME VARIATIONS IN SOME PATTERNS MAY ALSO OCCUR DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE PRINT AND THAT THEY ARE ALL INDIVIDUALLY HANDMADE. 

Measuring your dog for a All-In-One Puffer Cape

Our All-In-One Puffer Capes have been designed around the general sizes of dachshunds and their quirky anatomy. Please note that in some circumstances they may fit loosely depending on your own dogs shape and measurements within a size.  Others it will fit firmly.  The inbuilt harness buckle allows for some small adjustment within a few cms.  This jacket has been designed for outdoor use only and is a slightly different pattern and fitting to our Royal Romper range. This is due to the puffer nature of the fabric and internal warm fleece lining and this garment does not have any stretch within it. 

Please ensure you measure your dog carefully and correctly to ensure you buy the appropriate sizing as per the ranges below.

The most important measurement is the chest area firstly as this part of the coat is enclosed. Length and then neck. If you are unsure please email before purchasing.
