Most importantly, the dog coat must fit the size of the dog. To measure the correct size for your dog, you need to know the back length and chest circumference of the animal. Measure the back length with a centimetre ruler from the nape of the neck to the base of the dog’s tail, and the chest circumference by running the tape measure from the shoulders around the dog. There has to be a little space: leave a centimetre between the dog and the tape measure. Dog coats are usually available in sizes XS for tiny dogs like Chihuahuas or Yorkshire Terriers to L for large dogs. Trixie and Hunter have a selection of functional and stylish dog coats that you can find in our online shop.
