Choosing the right hoodie size for your pet can be confusing—especially since dogs and cats have very different body shapes.

This guide will help you find the perfect fit using simple measurements, real breed examples, and sizes from S to XXL.

📏 How to Measure Your Dog or Cat

Before choosing a size, measure these 3 key areas:

1. Chest (Most Important)

Measure around the widest part of your pet’s chest.

👉 This is the most important factor for sizing.

---

2. Neck

Measure where the collar naturally sits.

---

3. Back Length

Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail.
