• Chest: Measure the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs.

• Body Length: Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.

Always allow a two-finger width room inside your measurements to ensure comfort. If your dog’s measurements fall between sizes, it’s generally best to choose the larger size.
