Measuring your puppy for a coat or collar:
1. Collar (neck where the collar sits) to base of tail
2. Neck at widest point (just above the shoulders in most breeds)
3. Chest just behind the front legs (all the way around- diameter of your dog at his widest point)
4. Waist just before the hind leg or thigh area (all the way around, loosely- don't pull the measuring tape tight)
5. Widest point of chest with your dog facing you (his chest, just above his legs, but beneath his neck)
Measuring your adult dog for a coat, or collar:
1. Collar (position on neck where collar rests) to base of tail.
2. Neck at widest point (shoulders)
3. Chest at widest point (just behind front legs, all the way around)
4. Waist, just before hind leg or 'thigh' area, don't wrap the tape tightly.
5. Width of chest just above legs, from shoulder to shoulder, have your dog sit and face you, measure just at the top of his legs, the WIDEST point.
Collars: Measuring where current collar sits or rests, should be slightly below the ear/skull juncture, but above the shoulder/neck juncture. About half way up the neck on longer-necked breeds. For large/stocky dogs such as Rotties or Mastiffs, the widest point is your best bet...as collars adjust anywhere from 2-4".
