Sizing Your Dog
Dog apparel comes in a very limited size range and there is a significant difference between sizes of apparel. Because of the limit in sizing, the measurements listed will fit the range listed. You may not receive a perfect fit for your dog because of limited sizing available for dogs. The item may be larger or smaller fitting on your dog depending where on the size range they fall.

Please note that each manufacturer has different sizes/sizing guidelines established. For example, although you may typically order a size Small for your dog, there is a possibility that, depending upon the sizing guidelines of a particular vendor, you may require an XS (extra small) or even a Medium . It is recommended you fit the chest first and length second, as many of the fabrics have no stretch. If the girth is too small, the jacket will NOT fit.

How To Measure Your Dog
Measure your pet from base of the neck to base of the tail. The length number in the size chart will help you evaluate where the jacket will end on your dog. Again, because dogs come in all shapes and sizes, fit will vary greatly for each dog.

Measure the chest at its widest point, which is usually an inch or so behind the front legs. This measurement is most important for jackets and items with no fabric stretch. The length of the jacket can be shorter (approximately 6 inches) or slightly longer (no more than 1 inch) however the chest measurement must be an exact fit.

Sizing Tip
If you're unsure about what size to order, enter your dog's measurements in the comments section of your order, along with the type of breed. If your dog is a mixed breed, please provide a description indicating what type of dog it most closely resembles (i.e.: Husky, Rottweiler, Labrador, Boxer, etc.).  This information should assist us in determining the most appropriate fit for your dog. You can also email us at customerservice@coolcatshotdogs.com or call us directly for a more immediate response.
