For chest measurement, measure the chest at its widest point, which is typically right behind the front legs. If the dog has a large girth, going up a size in the top line measurement is always a smart choice, since some additional fabric will be used up.
Measuring should be done along the dog's backbone from the base of the head to the base of the tail. This is from the base of where the collar rests to where the tail is attached. The measurements you see on all our apparel indicate this top line measurement. However, it's important that the dog's girth be taken into account as well as the top line measurement.
The neck size determines whether the dog will be comfortable wearing clothing. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. If the garment is too tight around the neck the dog would find it difficult to breath and be very uncomfortable. Please ensure you measure this correctly and take into consideration the type of material being used on the particular garment you are wishing to purchase.
