With the drop in temperature, the cold begins to be felt, and while some dogs don't mind this change in weather, others don't want to leave the house, and many more need protection.
In this case, we quickly look for clothes for our pets, but many doubts arise when doing so, especially concerning sizes. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to several guidelines that will determine the right choice of accessories for our aristopets.
The first thing we should know is that the ideal dog clothing is one that fits your pet's exact measurements. Therefore, it is important to know your dog's clothing size. We cannot be guided by standard sizes, as each manufacturer has different patterns.
Tips to follow to determine the size we should buy and avoid mistakes.
Patterns to determine size:
Measurement patterns for clothing sizes, or rather, dog sizes, are measured based on neck, chest, back, and height:
Neck circumference: To measure the neck, it is recommended to use the dog's collar as a guide. Take the measurement making sure it is not too tight against the skin.
Back (length): This measurement is taken from the base of the neck to where the tail begins. Although it is said to be up to the owner how long they want it to be, it is recommended not to cover the tail. This can cause discomfort.
Chest: To get the chest measurement, it is best to measure the widest part, around the ribs.
To ensure the garment fits perfectly, it is essential that we have previously taken these measurements of our dog, and there's no better way to do this than by using a flexible tape measure (a seamstress's tape). When measuring these circumferences, do not pull tight; it is recommended to take the measurement allowing one of your fingers to pass loosely between the tape and the dog's body, thus preventing the clothing from being too tight.
You now have the three main measurements you will need to select the ideal size for sweaters, raincoats, and coats for your pets. Goodbye cold!
