Measure along the spine
Start at the base of the neck and finish at the base of the tail. This single number is what every size chart is built around.

The #1 mistake

Most sizing errors come down to this
The most common mistake is choosing a size based on breed name alone - without ever getting the tape measure out. Size charts like ours are based on back length (measured along the spine from the base of the neck to the start of the tail), not breed.
A Staffy and a Greyhound might both be described as "medium dogs" - but they'll need completely different coats.
Our free guide covers the four most common sizing mistakes and exactly how to avoid them.
