Measuring Your Dog Correctly For the Right Fit

| Standard Sizes | Padding
| Neck
- Measure from just ahead of the withers at the base of the neck to the top
of the breastbone, then double this measurement. Work the tape under the fur,
and pull it snug. Measure the dog, not the fur! Measure only one side of the
dog then double the measurement. Wrapping the tape measure all the way around
the neck may distort the measurement. Neck fit is critical. When
properly fitted, you should be able to put one finger in the "Y" below
the neck and hold the harness on the breastbone. At the same time put a finger
in the "Y" at the top of the neck, that finger should be where the
neck joins the withers. If in doubt about fit call us. Tail - Start tape
at top of breastbone. Pass between front legs, then up around rib cage to base
of tail. Lift tail to feel join. Rib (freight) - Start
tape at top of breastbone, pass between front legs, then Rear (freight) -
Start tape at top of breastbone, pass between front legs, then to back of thigh Check fit of tail length
by pulling on webbing to see of the webbing will come to the base of the tail.
Webbing should not come to the base of the tail unless there is tension against
it. EXCHANGES NOTE:
If you order a customized or modified harness, you can not exchange it
or
obtain a refund. It is
your responsibility to give us correct information about sizing. Standard
sizes below may be used as a guideline for your measurements. Harness padding does two
things; it keeps the webbing from cutting or chafing your dog, and it provides
some cushion to prevent bruising. The harnesses we offer have Polar Fleece
padding
because Polar Fleece is a quick-drying polyester synthetic, it's a good
insulator because it holds a lot of air and doesn't absorb water. It's also
machine washable. | Back
