Dog Hoodie Size Guide by Breed: Find the Right Fit

Quick answer: measure your dog's chest all the way round the widest part of the ribcage, then match it to the chart below. Breed examples are a helpful starting point, but your dog's own measurements always win.

Dog hoodie size guide by breed — SniffWaggleNWalk™

How to measure your dog

  1. Chest: all the way round the widest part, just behind the front legs. This is the most important number.
  2. Neck: all the way round where a collar sits.
  3. Back length: from the base of the collar to the base of the tail.

Keep the tape snug but not tight, with room for two fingers underneath.

Between two sizes?

Size up if your dog is broad in the chest, has a thick coat, or you like a roomier fit. A hoodie should let your dog walk, sit and lie down comfortably.
