How to measure your dog
Step 1
You'll need a soft tape measure in order to get an accurate size. Please ensure your dog is standing up straight on all fours and looking forward.
Step 2
Take a measurement around the widest part of your dogs chest. This is usually just behind their front legs. Make sure the measuring tape is snug, but not too tight.
Step 3
Our coat lengths fit 99% of Dachshunds but check the length to make sure you're not that 1%... Measure from the bottom of the neck to the top of the tail.

Measure twice, cut once.
We only need your dog's chest measurement to recommend a size for you. Measure around the largest part of the chest snug to the body.
