Shop for a coat
Picture
Make sure your dog is standing and measure (using a soft tape measure)

Size A - Base of neck (or collar on a hound) to base of tail (This is the length of coat and the one our prices are based on)
Size B - Collar (Not too tight!)
Size C - Chest (Behind the front legs)
Size D - Girth (around the middle of your dog)
​
Size E - Base of neck to D ring - Harness coats only

We prefer measurements in inches (we're a bit old fashioned that way!) but it's OK If you prefer to measure in centimetres as we can work from those.
​Of course we would be happy to measure for you if you can come along to our workshop or you're welcome to phone if you need any advice.
We know from experience it's not always easy to measure a dog. We are here to help so please phone us if you are unsure.

​The better the measurements the better the fit!

For dogs that just won't be measured, we can even arrange to send you a sample coat to try as a size guide. It just costs the  postage. As soon we arrange your sample to try your coat goes on the order list so you don't even lose any time waiting for your coat. Call us to discuss.
Ordered from us before? 
​No need to remeasure. We keep your dogs details on file so just let us know if anything has changed.

Worried about your measurements?

When we get your measurements we will always double check against what we would normally expect for the breed and may ask you to double check anything unexpected. Sometimes for mixed breeds a photo can help too.
If when you receive your coat, you find that you have made a mistake in measuring, don't worry, we will remake it. We do ask you to return the original coat in good condition and for a £10 payment towards material cost and postage we will make you a replacement coat.
​Of course, if we get it wrong, we will replace the coat at no cost to you.
