Determining the Right Size of Clothing for Your Dog

We often get inquires from customers to suggest the right size fortheir pet if they are purchasing dog clothing, pet carrier or dog collar fromus. We offer information on our website, but ultimately, this decision has to rest with the customer for a number of reasons. Pets of the same breed maydiffer and have different sizes based on weight, height, length and so forth.The same dog apparel will fit dogs of different breeds and same weight differently.

Determining the best size for your dog is easy. You should make sure that your dog is standing. Measure your dog from the base of the neck to the spot where the tail joins the body; that'sthe start of the tail, not the very tip. That measurement becomes the coat size for your dog. The measurements you see onall our apparel indicate this top line measurement. If you get an odd number for a measurement, we suggest that you round up to the next even number for female dogs and round down to the next even number for male dogs. Most dogs can be fit using this sizing method. Please see individual product items for recommendations made by specific manufacturers for sizing.

Determining the Right Size of Collar for Your Dog

For your dog's safety and comfort, please measure for a dog collar by measuring your dog's neck. As a general guide, you should be able to fit two fingers (flat) easily between the tape and your dog's neck. Remember, a collar shouldn't be tight around your dog's neck and it wouldn't be the exact measurement of your dog's neck. But for safetyreasons....so it doesn't snag on something, it shouldn’t be too loose either. A nug fit is what you are aiming for. Not a tight one or one that chokes.

Getting Your Dog to Accept Wearing Apparel

Proper fit is the key for getting your dog to accept donning dog apparel. However, ease of getting the garment on and off is a learned behavior for both you and your dog. Start by putting the clothing item on and rewarding the dog with verbal praise. Leave the item on for a short period. The next time, try leaving the garment on for a longer period of time, again praising and rewarding your pet. It is best tostart this training as a puppy, but older dogs can also easily be trained with a little more patience.

Dog Apparel

Why do we dress our dogs? The reasons are many. Domesticated dogs have become accustomed to living indoors with their human owners, so when the temperature drops, they get cold too. We should keep in mind that even though our dogs have fur, they may need protection from the elements. Dogs that have undergone medical treatments that result in the loss of fur will often need at least some temporary protection from the elements until their fur grows back. This also applies to dogs that have been shaved. A warm dog sweater or dog fleece coat can make all the difference. And don’t forget those snuggly dog boots and comfy dog sweatshirt for those cold winter nights. Keep your pet in the height of pet fashion without spending a fortune. Choose from a variety of dog clothes to find something perfect for your puppy.
