Standard Size Guide
For small to medium breeds — from a Chihuahua to a Bichon Frisé or a Cocker Spaniel. If your dog is a dachshund or a poodle, use the breed-specific guide instead — their proportions are different enough that our regular scale won't fit well.
How to measure
- Neck — where the collar sits
- Chest — the widest point, just behind the front legs
- Back length — from the base of the collar to the base of the tail
If your dog falls between two sizes, choose the larger.
