Ask your dog to stand still whilst you measure the circumference of their neck. You can do this easily by placing some string around their collar in the same place they would wear their collar. Now take this piece of string and place it against some measuring tape. This is your dog's neck circumference. Be sure to allow 2 finger spaces around the neck so your new collar can fit comfortably.
Harnesses
With your hound standing proudly, measure the (1) girth around the largest part of their chest and (2) behind the front legs. Now add an extra 2 inches for comfort and movement.
Apparel
The main measurements are (1) around the girth and (2) your dog's length. All breeds are slightly different, so it's best to go with the girth measurement as the length is more for aesthetics.
Please select carefully as Society Dogs will be humiliated if found wearing ill-fitted accessories.
