- Tape measure
Instructions
Make your dog stand. Get someone to help you by holding the dog's head to get its attention if the dog won't stand still.
Measure along the dog's back from the back of the neck where the collar would rest to the base of the tail. Make a note of this measurement
Measure loosely around the dog's neck, keeping one or two fingers inside the tape measure to remind you not to measure too tightly. Jot down this measurement.
Measure around the deepest part of the dog's chest, around the rib cage; then add 2 inches to allow for ease of movement. Write this measurement down with the others.
