How do I measure my medium-breed puppy for apparel?
Measure your medium-breed puppy for apparel by taking back, chest, and neck measurements using a soft tape measure or rope. Find your puppy's back length by measuring from the base of his neck to the base of his tail. Measure around the widest part of your dog's torso, just behind the front legs, to get his chest measurement, then take a neck measurement by measuring your dog's neck where the collar usually sits. When measuring, be sure to pull the tape so it's snug, but not so tight that you can't comfortably slide two fingers underneath it. Compare all three measurements to the size chart for each apparel item you're considering, and size up if your puppy is between sizes.
