General size guide
The best way to find the right size is to measure your dog. You measure the length of the dog's back (from the base of the neck to the tail) and the chest circumference.
We understand that it can be awkward to measure while sitting down to shop and that you may not have a measuring tape handy. Therefore, here is a general size guide for different dog breeds. If you feel unsure, take a size larger! The dog should be able to move comfortably.
