Fitting Guide
Directions
Measure around your dog's chest, just behind the front legs.
STEP 1 — Chest
Wrap a soft tape around the deepest part of the chest, just behind the front legs. Snug, not tight — you should be able to slide a finger underneath.
STEP 2 — Length (coats & fleeces only)
Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. Harnesses don't need a length.
TOP TIP
In between sizes? Size up. Round up to the next whole centimetre, and if your dog lands on the line between two sizes, pick the bigger one. If their back is more than 2cm off the length for your size, get in contact with us to discuss a custom fit.

Sizing FAQs
Yes. Everything we make is designed around the Dachshund shape. Most standards are a size 5 or 6. Bigger boys and girls with a chest over 60cm are a size 7, which we make to order through Wondercoat Studio.
First, double-check your measurements — a wriggly dog can add a centimetre or two! If your dog is smaller than a size 1 or bigger than a size 6, or has an unusually long or short back, we’ll make it to measure: choose Wondercoat Studio, or pick the closest size and add your dog’s chest and back length in the checkout notes.
No. Our measurements are standard across all of our harnesses, fleeces and coats. You don’t need to measure the length for our Harnesses.
