📏 How to correctly measure your dog to choose the right size?
For your dog's harness or collar to be comfortable and safe, it's very important to measure them correctly. Use a soft tailor's tape measure, and the dog should stand in a natural position while being measured.
🐕 HARNESS – measuring the neck and chest
You need two measurements for the correct harness size:
1. Neck circumference (front part)
Measure the lower part of the neck – where the front part of the harness will sit (not too high like for a collar).
2. Chest circumference
Measure the widest part of the chest, right behind the front legs.
The tape measure should be placed flat and not too tight. There should also be space for two fingers here.
⚠️ Important: The harness must be snug enough not to slip, but it should not press or restrict movement.
🦴 COLLAR – measuring neck circumference
1. Measure the neck circumference where the dog usually wears the collar (somewhere in the middle of the neck).
2. The tape measure should be close to the skin, but not too tight.
3. There should be two fingers between the neck and the tape measure – this ensures the collar won't be too tight.
👉 If the dog is between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size.
🐾 LEASH
When choosing a leash, consider:
1. The dog's size and strength.
2. The purpose of use (walk, training, running).
3. The desired length and width of the leash.
For larger and stronger dogs, we recommend wider and more robust leashes.
