How to Measure Your Dog
Measuring Your Dog for a Hug Me Harness™
To get the best fit for your dog:
- Make sure your dog is standing upright in a natural, neutral position.
- Wrap a tape measure around the mid-torso, a few centimetres behind the front legs (not directly behind them where the chest is widest).
- This ensures the harness won’t interfere with your dog’s front leg movement.
- No neck measurement is needed — the neck area of our Hug Me Harness™ is fully adjustable.
📏 Tip: If you don’t have a tape measure, use a piece of string and a ruler.

Measuring Your Dog for a Royal Polartec® Romper, Royal Tee and Royal Coat
Our Rompers and Tees are carefully designed to provide a comfortable, lean fit that helps keep your pup’s front legs securely in place without restricting movement. The fabric has a gentle stretch, allowing for a snug or slightly relaxed fit depending on your dog’s build.
- Measure neck, chest, and length while your dog stands upright.
- Compare your dog’s measurements with the chart below.
- If your pup is between sizes, choose based on whether you prefer a closer or looser fit.

✅ Pro Tip: Always measure twice for the best fit. A properly fitted harness or romper should be snug but not tight, allowing full range of movement without slipping off.
