PET SIZING • MEASURE ONCE, WAG FOREVER

Pet Size Guide

Every pet hoodie is made to order, so getting the measurement right the first time means no waiting on a remake. Here's exactly how to measure your dog or cat, the full size chart, and every caveat worth knowing before you order.

Fits Every Breed, Every Body Shape

Broad-chested, long-bodied, fluffy, or somewhere in between — go by chest measurement, not weight or breed name alone. Not sure where you land? Check our sizing FAQ or message us and we'll help you pick.

Real fit, real dogs

Sized on real dogs, not mannequins

Meet the pups who test our hoodies. Find the one closest to your dog's build, then check your measurements against the size chart.

Size M

Millie

French Bulldog

26 lb · stocky build

Broad-chested and compact. M gives him room to move.

Size L

Cooper

Cockapoo

36 lb · leggy, fluffy build

Longer legs and a thick coat. L fits comfortably over the fluff.

Size XL

Kiera

Pit Bull

50 lb · slim build

A perfect fit, proof our larger sizes really fit big dogs.

Size XL

Sasha

Pit Bull

63 lb · average build

Room through the chest and shoulders for easy walks.

Millie and Cooper are our dogs; Kiera and Sasha belong to our family. Every dog is different, your pet's chest measurement is most important followed by weight and build.

BEFORE YOU ORDER

How to measure your pet

Bust / chest

Wrap a soft tape around the widest part of your pet's ribcage, just behind the front legs. This is the single most important number — match it directly to the Bust column.

Measure with your pet standing, not sitting or lying down
Snug is right — not tight enough to pinch, not loose enough to slide
Fluffy or thick-coated breeds: press the tape gently through the coat to the body underneath, don't measure over the fluff

Back length

Measure from the base of the neck (where a collar sits) to the base of the tail, following the curve of the back.

Keep the tape flat against the back — don't measure in a straight line if your pet has a long or arched back
Long-bodied breeds (Dachshunds, Corgis): prioritise the bust measurement — a slightly shorter length still looks great

Callouts & caveats

Our sizing runs small — size up if you're unsure. A French Bulldog wears a Medium, not a Small. A Cockapoo wears a Large.
Go by chest, not weight. Two pets the same weight can need completely different sizes depending on body shape.
Body type matters as much as the number. A stocky, broad-chested breed and a leaner, leggier breed can measure almost the same and still need different sizes — use the Recommended Breeds column as a sanity check against your own measurement.
Broad-chested breeds (Frenchies, Pugs, Boxers) — go strictly by the chest measurement, even if the length looks generous.
Long-bodied breeds (Dachshunds, Corgis, Whippets) — prioritise the bust; a slightly shorter length still fits and looks good.
Between two sizes? Size up. Elastic cuffs give a little stretch, and a bit of extra room is more comfortable than anything snug.
Measure at a calm moment — right after a bath, blow-dry, or grooming can temporarily change how the coat sits and throw off the reading.
Made to order: allow about 1" (3 cm) of natural variation between garments.
Still not sure? Message us your pet's chest measurement and we'll help you pick the size — no guessing required.

ADD-ON SIZING

Pet Bandana Sizing

Buckle closure · adjustable neck · slides over collar · available in L, XL, XXL

Neck circumference

Wrap a soft tape around the base of your pet's neck, where their collar normally sits. This is the key measurement for bandana sizing — match it directly to the Neck Circumference column in the chart below.

Measure with your pet standing, head in a natural position
Allow two fingers of slack — the bandana sits over the collar and needs room to lay flat
Thick-coated breeds: measure to the skin, not over the coat

Fit notes

The bandana buckle is adjustable within each size range, so there's flexibility within the neck circumference listed. If your pet is between sizes, size up — the bandana sits better with a little room than pulled tight.

French Bulldogs have wide necks for their body — measure before ordering, most adult Frenchies wear XL
Cockapoos typically wear XL depending on size (toy vs. standard)
Allow 0.5–1" natural variance between garments (made to order)
Not available in XS or S — not suited to toy or very small breeds

Size	Width	Height	Neck Circumference	Recommended Breeds
L	12.6" / 32cm	7" / 18cm	11.8–19.7" / 30–50cm	Cocker Spaniel, Whippet, Basenji, smaller Bulldogs, Shih Tzu, Lhasa Apso, Mini Schnauzer, Bichon Frise, Cavalier King Charles
XL	14.2" / 36cm	8.3" / 21cm	15.7–23.6" / 40–60cm	Cockapoo (that's Cooper), French Bulldog (that's Millie), Border Collie, Springer Spaniel, Boxer, smaller Labrador, Dalmatian, Australian Shepherd, Pit Bull, Standard Schnauzer
XXL	16.5" / 42cm	9.4" / 24cm	17.7–29.5" / 45–75cm	Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd, Siberian Husky, Doberman, Rottweiler, Standard Poodle, Weimaraner, Alaskan Malamute

Bandanas are not available in XS or S and are not suited to toy breeds or very small dogs. Not sure? Measure your pet's neck circumference and match it to the chart above — or message us and we'll help you pick.

Bandana callouts & caveats

Measure neck, not chest. Unlike the hoodie, the bandana sizes by neck circumference — chest measurement is not relevant here.
French Bulldogs — Frenchies have thick, wide necks for their body size. Most adult Frenchies wear XL. Larger males may push XXL — measure first.
Buckle is adjustable within each size range, so there's flexibility. Size up if you're between sizes.
Slides over the collar — the bandana sits on top of the collar, not instead of it. Your pet's collar and leash clip work normally underneath.
Made to order: allow 0.5–1" natural variation between garments.
Ships separately from hoodie sets — bandana add-ons may arrive in a separate parcel on a different day. You'll receive individual tracking for each item.

SMALL & TOY BREED LINE

Nursery Line Sizing

Runs small — built specifically for toy and small breeds · elastic cuffs · leash hole under the hood · garment measurements

Chest girth

Wrap a soft tape around the widest part of your pet's ribcage, just behind the front legs. This is the key measurement for this line — match it directly to the Chest Girth column below.

Measure with your pet standing, not sitting or lying down
Snug is right — not tight enough to pinch, not loose enough to slide
This line runs small — if your pet's measurement sits right on a size's number, size up

Back length

Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, following the curve of the back.

Keep the tape flat against the back, following the natural curve
This line is not a scaled-down version of our main hoodie — it's cut specifically for toy and small breeds, so don't size by comparison to your pet's usual letter size elsewhere

Size	Back Length	Chest Girth	Weight	Recommended Breeds — general guide
XS	19.5cm / 7.7in	30cm / 12in	1.2–2.7 lbs	Teacup and toy breeds — Chihuahua puppy, Yorkie puppy, teacup Pomeranian, very small kittens
S	21.5cm / 8.5in	34cm / 13.4in	2.7–4.4 lbs	Toy breeds — adult Chihuahua, Yorkie, Toy Poodle, Maltese, most adult cats
M	24.9cm / 9.8in	37cm / 14.6in	4.4–6.6 lbs	Small breeds — Mini Dachshund, Papillon, small Pomeranian, larger cats (Maine Coon, Ragdoll)
L	30cm / 11.8in	44cm / 17.3in	6.6–9.4 lbs	Small-to-medium breeds — Shih Tzu, Pug, small French Bulldog, Boston Terrier
XL	35cm / 13.8in	49cm / 19.3in	9.4–13.2 lbs	Medium-small breeds — larger French Bulldog, Cavalier, Mini Schnauzer, Cocker Spaniel puppy
XXL	39.9cm / 15.7in	55cm / 21.6in	13.2–17.6 lbs	Larger small breeds — full-grown Cocker Spaniel, Beagle, small Cockapoo

This line runs smaller than our main hoodie collection — an XXL here fits dogs comparable to a Beagle or Cocker Spaniel, well below our main line's smallest size. Don't see your breed? Measure chest girth and back length and go by body type, not weight alone.

Nursery Line callouts & caveats

This is a small/toy breed line, not a scaled-down main hoodie. If your pet wears L or XL on our main matching hoodie sets, they're almost certainly too large for this collection.
Runs small — when in doubt, size up. If a measurement sits right on a size's number, the next size up is usually the better fit.
Go by chest girth, not weight. Two pets the same weight can be very different shapes.
Shortened belly cut — designed with potty breaks in mind, so the fit runs differently than a full-coverage hoodie.
Leash hole sits under the hood, not on the back — different placement than our main hoodie line.
Made to order: allow about 1" (2.5cm) of natural variation between garments.
Still not sure? Message us your pet's measurements and we'll help you pick — no guessing required.

STILL UNSURE?

Common Questions on Sizing

What if my dog is really fluffy or has a lot of fur?

Measure to the skin, not over the coat. Press the tape gently through the fur so you're reading your pet's actual body size — measuring over a thick coat can add an inch or more and bump you into the wrong size.

What if my dog has really short legs?

Short-legged breeds (Corgis, Dachshunds, Basset Hounds) should size by chest measurement, not by how "small" the dog looks overall. Leg length doesn't factor into hoodie fit — chest and back length are what matter.

What if my dog has a broad, stocky chest?

Go strictly by the chest measurement, even if the length column looks generous for that size. Broad-chested breeds like Frenchies, Pugs, and Boxers need the room up front — a little extra length is normal and comfortable, not a sign you sized wrong.

What if my dog is long and lean?

Prioritize the chest measurement over length. Long, lean breeds (Whippets, Greyhounds) sometimes measure slightly short on back length for their chest size — that's expected, and the elastic cuffs keep the fit comfortable either way.

My pet's measurement falls right between two sizes — which do I pick?

Size up. Elastic cuffs give a little natural stretch, so a slightly roomier fit is more comfortable than anything snug — and there's no adjustment on the smaller size if it turns out too tight.

I can't find my pet's breed on the chart — now what?

The breed list is a starting point, not the rule — your pet's actual chest measurement always wins. Find the closest body type in the Recommended Breeds column as a sanity check, or just message us the measurement and we'll confirm the size for you.
