GUIDELINES FOR THE CORRECT CHOICE OF THE SIZE OF DOG CLOTHING



It is important to specify that the size for dog clothing is not chosen based on the breed because this only provides us with general and approximate information. To correctly identify the size suitable for our faithful four-legged friend, you need to get a flexible tape measure (like the one used for tailoring) or simply use a thread long enough to measure the circumference of the chest and neck. With the thread, you can then measure the centimeters on any type of tape measure.

THERE ARE 3 IMPORTANT MEASURES TO BE TAKEN:

1) CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE
This is the most significant measurement to refer to when choosing the size. It should be taken in the most voluminous part of the chest: to this you should add 3 to 5 centimeters of margin for a correct fit.

2) NECK CIRCUMFERENCE
Also in this measurement consider the additional margin as in the previous point.

3) LENGTH OF THE DOG
To measure the length correctly, the dog must be standing upright on its legs (not sitting or lying down). Measure from the base of the neck to 2-3 cm before the beginning of the tail.

NOTES ON LENGTH:
The length of clothing for dogs, as it also happens for humans, is relative to the type of garment, that is: a t-shirt or a jacket must fit up to the waist and not for the entire length of the animal as is instead indicated for raincoats. For this reason, it is normal for many garments to be much shorter than your dog's back even if the chest is right. The choice should be made with prevalent reference to the size of the dog's chest, then adding 3 to 5 centimeters.

Dogmoda.it offers an additional service compared to other online shops in the sector: the exact manual measurement of each individual item in stock . The table provided by the manufacturer is indeed very helpful and provides a reliable guide parameter, but each dress model, by virtue of its own style and format, may slightly differ from the average measurements provided by the table: this is why we have decided to personally measure each individual item available in our warehouse in order to give our customers maximum precision in evaluating the item to buy.

In each item sheet you will find the details of all the useful measurements of the garment to be able to make the comparison and the evaluations to determine the size to purchase.
