How do I measure my dog?
It is essential that this garment fits your pet properly. Ensure you monitor the body temperature of your pet as over-heating can happen quickly and be extremely dangerous to your pet’s health.
Length: Measure from the base of the tail along the spine. Run the measuring tape along the spine and finish between the shoulder blades at the base of the neck. The length of the life jacket must be 5-12cm shorter than the measured length to ensure the safest fit for your dog. Do not cover your dog’s tail base as this is his swimming rudder.
Girth: This is the widest point around the dog’s chest. It should be just behind the leg around his chest and over his back.
The following measurements estimate the size best suited for your dog, not the size of the jacket.
| Size | Girth (cm) | Length (cm) | Max Weight (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XX-Small | 30 – 35 | 14 | 2 |
| X-Small | 35 – 40 | 21 | 4 |
| Small | 45 – 51 | 29 | 8 |
| Medium | 57 – 67 | 39 | 10 |
| Medium Large | 67 – 75 | 45 | 15 |
| Large | 75 – 87 | 51 | 28 |
| X-Large | 105 – 117 | 84 | 55 |
