How do I measure my dog correctly?
Depending on the product and supplier, the measuring methods differ. It is best to measure with a flexible measuring tape. The dimensions should always be measured close-fitting, without addition. For long-haired dogs with particularly dense fur, however, the fur must be included.
For the correct instructions for each product, please refer to the product page in our online store.
Our customer service team with its many years of experience and product knowledge is also happy to provide advice.
Here are the most important dimensions at a glance:
Neck circumference: is usually measured at the point where the dog usually wears its collar.
Chest circumference: at the widest or deepest part of the chest.
Back length: starting at the transition from neck to back to the base of the tail (on a standing dog).
Muzzle length: about 1-2cm under the eyes to the tip of the nose.
Muzzle circumference: at the widest point of the muzzle.
Paws: to choose the right booties you need the paw length, paw width and for some manufacturers the circumference. Width and length are easiest to determine by placing the dog on a white sheet of paper and with a loaded paw both front and back, as well as right and left directly on the paw put a mark on the paper. Length and width can then be easily measured with a ruler on the sheet of paper.
