WHAT'S YOUR DOG'S SIZE?
Neck Measurement: Measure from point A to point A going around the neck to get base of neck measurement.
Point A is the base of the dogs neck on the spine, where neck becomes back. Gently lift your dogs head slightly to find exact point.
Back Measurement: Measure front point A to Point B along the spine.
Point B is the top of your dogs tail where tail attaches to body (the very top of the tail)
Chest Measurement: Measure from Point C going around the chest back to point C.
Point C is just behind front legs.
Stomach Measurement: Measure from Point D going around the stomach to Point D.
Point D is in between last rib and back leg - if male just in front of genitalia.
TIPS
* Keep tape flush with skin. Your measuring tape needs to be neither tight nor loose.
* Don't make the mistake of measuring up the dogs neck.
* After you have worked out the location of point A - get your back measurement followed by your neck measurement.
* Try to encourage your dog to stand relaxed so it does not hunch its back.
* Get a helper so that one person can hold your best mate while you measure.
* Whist measuring your best mate take a side on photo of them standing naturally. This way if you need to order a custom made coat you will have a photo ready to attach to your order.
* With a brand name over 25 yrs and many reports of 15 yo Fair Dinkum Dog Coats still in use its worth double checking your measurements to ensure a great fit.
* Follow instructions carefully.

Got a best mate not yet fully grown?

* its a good idea to google their breed to see when they should finish growing.
