Measurement A
Take a measurement along the back from the neck, just below the collar, to the base of the tail.
Measurement B
Measure around the girth of the dog, at the deepest part, normally just behind the front legs.
Measurement C
Take the third measurement around the neck, just below the collar, add a little to ensure you leave plenty of space for your dog!
Sizing Chart
Now you have your measurements, refer to the chart; find the largest of the two sizes you recorded, rounding up if necessary. Please bear in mind the chart represents the actual size of the coat, not the dog.
For instance, if you have measurements as A: 64 (size 3) and B: 71 (size 3) and C: 50 (rounded up to 51 size 4) you would need a size 4.

Tig and Mus –
I ordered this sweater earlier in the year for Mus, my Spanish mutt. He’s got reasonable fur coverage topside, but is a bit thin on his belly area. The Cable Knit Sweater has great underbelly coverage and the full length Velcro fixings keep the sweater nice and snug along the body. The turtleneck, combined with the soft material, completed the all-round cosy feel of the sweater. Mus’s body measurements didn’t fit any of the standard sweater measurements, but that wasn’t a problem. Mel just adapted a suitably sized template accordingly. Great service and really good work(wo)manship. Mel worked like the clappers over the weekend and we got the sweater just before the cold snap hit the UK. Mus was one happy, snuggly dog! I’d like a sweater for myself too…..

Thanks Tig and Mus for the kind review, we are very pleased you are happy and doesn’t he look adorable in it too. It was my absolute pleasure to make it for him.
