Every Houndz in the Hood clothing line is sized and shaped to a breed, so the right size depends on your dog’s measurements, not just its weight.
How to Measure Your Dog
- Length: from the base of the neck (just in front of the withers, where the collar sits) to the base of the tail.
- Girth: around the largest part of the chest, just behind the front legs.
- Weight and, for growing puppies, age.
Measure with a soft tape while your dog is standing. Then find your dog’s line below and compare the measurements with its size chart.
