Dog Size Chart: Measure Chest, Back Length & Neck
Before choosing dog clothes, measure your dog and compare the measurements with the size chart on the exact product page. Breed, weight, and a familiar size label are not enough to confirm the fit.
Record three measurements
- Chest girth: measure around the widest part of the rib cage, just behind the front legs.
- Back length: measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.
- Neck: measure where the collar normally sits. Follow any additional instructions on the product chart.
Use the same units as the product chart. Keep your measurements handy when comparing styles.
Choose the size for the exact product
Check all measurements provided on that product's chart. Do not assume that a size bought for one item will fit another. If your measurements fall between sizes or the chart does not answer your question, contact support before ordering.
Ask Dear Doggo about sizing. Include the product link and your dog's measurements so the team can check the correct chart.

Common sizing questions
Can I choose by breed or weight alone?
No. Compare your dog's measurements with the chart on the exact product page.
Should I always size up?
Follow the guidance for the exact product. If the chart is unclear, ask support before ordering.
Does a breed collection guarantee fit?
No. A collection helps you browse styles; each product's measurements and available sizes determine the fit.
The two main measurements you want to focus on are your dogs chest and back length. The most important measurement is your dogs chest measurement in most cases.
