DOG LENGTH

In order to measure your dog’s length (A), with your dog standing upright, measure the distance between the base of the neck and the beginning of the tail.

DOG CHEST GIRTH

In order to measure your dog’s chest girth (B), measure the circumference of its rib cage (the widest part of its chest). Typically, this is right behind its front legs. Pull the measuring tape so it is snug, but not tight.

DOG NECK

In order to measure your dog’s neck (C), measure around the part of the dog’s neck where the collar would naturally sit, usually just above the shoulders. Pull the measuring tape so it is snug, but not tight.

Used for fitting: collars, bandanas.

DOG PAWS

In order to measure your dog’s paw (D), place your dog’s paw on a piece of paper, draw around the paw and note the size of the widest point.
