Apparel Sizing Guide: To ensure the correct fit, measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. The number in inches corresponds to the size number. Also, if your dog has a stout build, a deep chest, or is overweight, we recommend going up a minimum of one size for proper fit.

Doggie Apparel Basics

Some dogs are naturals for dressing up, and some people like their "kids" to look like humans. Dressing them up is an extension of their love for them. There are, however, practical reasons to consider apparel as well.

Fashion Isn't Always Folly

Aside from our own desire to dress our dogs in human clothing, there are often practical reasons to do so. 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 who have been shaved.

People who live in severe winter climates should keep in mind that even though their pets have fur, they may need protection from the elements when they spend most of their time indoors, because they acclimate to their indoor surroundings.

Short-haired dogs are almost bald on the chest and belly, so be sure to select garments that cover the lower portions of their bodies as well as the top. Most dogs don't enjoy the rain, and if your pet spends most of his time indoors, you probably don't enjoy the musty odor or the mud. With a rain slicker, all this can easily be avoided.

Polar fleece is also a good protective fabric; it insulates and keeps the dog warm while drawing moisture away from the skin. Booties are good for dogs in snow, ice and rain. Booties are also outstanding for dogs when taken hiking in rugged terrain. In cases of extreme heat, booties can help protect a dog's pads from hot ground surfaces. Remember that while a dog's pads are less sensitive than our own feet, they are still sensitive to extreme temperatures.

While people might not think about the summer as a time to use apparel, a dog that has been shaved or suffers from hair loss may need additional protection from the harmful rays of the sun. Hats and sunglasses offer protection from UV rays as well.

Getting Your Dog to Accept Wearing Apparel

Proper fit is 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 to start this training as a puppy, but older dogs can also easily be trained with a little more patience.

How to Accurately Measure Your Dog

Different manufactures, and different styles of dog apparel sometimes require different measurements so please read the sizing guidelines included with each style of clothing you are considering.

As a general rule, measuring should be done along the dog's backbone from the base of the head to the base of the tail, which is referred to as the "top line measurement". 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.

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.

Note that there are different sizing ranges for different types of garments, due to how binding or flexible the material used is. Coats are full length, whereas jackets are shorter.
