Where exactly do I measure the girth of my dog's chest to check what size she needs?
1403918
I measured at the fullest part of the chest, pretty much just behind the forelegs.

I could decide the size by rule of thumb actually. There were 3 sizes and my dog is a medium-size dog anyway. But the stripes are long enough to stretch. I can't answer better, sorry.

Go to your local pet store and try one on your pet. Make note of that size and dimensions and then match it up to the sizing on this one

The best way would be to Google "pawz size chart" It shows you how to measure or also gives you a list of dog breeds and the size that fits.

Pebbles (my dog) is 35 lbs. So many times I bought items that was way to big for her as I went by sight. Go to You Tube and inquire how to measure a dog's "girth" (as I didn't know how), and it will guide you. Trial and error, wasted dollars, now I know.

You need to measure the chest just behind the front legs to get a good fit. You can't pick a size based on weight alone. Use a shoelace, mark the length of it around after wrapping It around the dog, and match that size up with the sizing chart.

measure around the chest ( girth) and whatever your dog measures is the sz you get. This is a very nice vest and my poodle wears it very well. No problems.

You need to measure your dogs girth/chest. My dog is only 12 lbs but needed a medium and it was still too small.

You'll probably have to contact the seller. I purchased the item for a friend and we took measurements, then looked up sizing for dogs on the internet. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Is that in inches around the chest? I have a chihuahua and got the small. but a bigger dog, go with med or larger, there should be a list of sizes on it. They will take it back if it doesn't fit.

I took a fabric measuring tape and measured from the ankle to the elbow. Then elbow to right below the top of the hind leg. And measured the circumference of both. (If you don't have fabric tape use string and cut it. Then measure the string).Then I bought the size that was closest to my dogs measurements.

XXS is for 12 pounds and under CHEST SIZE 9"-13.5XS 10-25 13"-18Chest size is the best measurement for selecting a size. Simply measure your dog's chest (torso) just behind the front legs at it's largest poiint. Hope this helps.

The most important measurement is the width of the bed. What you want to do is have your dog stand up straight, and measure from the bottom of the paw to the top of the hip or shoulder. This is the amount of room that your dog needs to be in a full 100% stretch position. Compare that measurement to the width of our sizes. You'll want an extra 4-6 inches. For example, if your dog measures 24", you'll do great with the Large, which is 30" wide. But if your dog is 27", you'll want to bump up to the 36" wide XL. And if your dog is 30" or larger, get the Giant.

I would measure my dog's snout in cm and email the manufacturer. I failed to do that, and the one I ordered was way too small!
