Dog Coat Size Guide

Bellaru Dog Coat Sizing Guide

Getting the correct fit for your coat is important for both your dogs comfort and to insure maximum life from our dog coats.

Coats are sized in 5cm intervals starting from 25cm, being the smallest size, up to our bigger 75cm coats. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, so its important to check all three of the measurements we provide against your dog. If you simply check one measurement, chances are you may end up with a coat that isn't the best fit. Our listed sizes are bases on the "A" measurement along the dogs back line.

How to measure your dog for a Bellaru Dog Coat:

1) Using a tape measure, take a measurement in a straight line from base of neck, which is often behind the collar, to the base of the tail (or where you would expect the coat to finish), compare this to Measurement "A" in our chart. Our dog coats are listed for sale, based on the "A" measurement. Insure dog is standing up.

2) Next, measure your dog from the middle of their chest, around their shoulder, to where you expect the dog coat to finish, and compare to measurement "C".

3) Using both the 'A' and 'C' measurement, you should be able to find the best size using our chart. Its important that you measure your dog more than once, and repeat the measurements on both sides as they wiggle around and you will get a different measurement each time ;)

4) Finally, check the drop of your selected dog coat size against the "B" measurement below, to insure it is suitable. To the check 'B' measurement, place the tape measure in the middle of your dogs back and ,measure down over his ribs to get an idea where the drop of the coat will finish, to insure it wont be to short or too long.

Using these three measurements you can find the best sized dog jacket. Dogs come in so many shapes and sizes, if you have a dog that is a little oddly shaped ie: long legged and skinny or short legged and fat - or a combination of both, you may have to find a compromise between sizes that will give the best overall fit.

If your dog is between sizes - we suggest going down a size - rather than up a size. A coat is best being a little to small, than to big and slipping about. Dog owners do have a tendency to always order a coat a size to big.

Refer to the table below for a measurement guide. "A" Refers the approx length of the coat along top edge,. "B" refers to the drop of the coat, "C" is the measurement along the bottom edge of the dog coat.
