How to Measure Your Dog for the Perfect Fit

Ensure comfort, mobility, and performance with accurate measurements.

At Howoll, we design outdoor gear tailored for real adventures — from jackets to vests and harnesses. To help your dog get the best fit, please follow the simple measuring guide below.

📏 Before You Begin

• Use a soft measuring tape.
• Measure while your dog is standing — this ensures the most accurate results.
• If your dog normally has a thick or dense coat that is trimmed short, add a little extra to account for coat regrowth.
• Each dog has a unique body shape. Measuring is the best way to avoid sizing mistakes.

1. Back Length

How to measure:
Measure from the point where the collar naturally sits (base of the neck) to the base of the tail.

Why it matters:
Back length determines jacket and vest coverage — too short won’t keep them warm; too long may restrict movement.

2. Chest Girth

How to measure:
Wrap the tape around the chest in two positions:

• A. Behind the front legs
• B. In front of the front legs

Why it matters:
The chest is the widest part of a dog’s body. Accurate chest measurements ensure comfort and prevent the gear from being too tight or slipping.

3. Neck Girth

How to measure:
Measure around the neck where the collar naturally rests.

Why it matters:
Neck size helps ensure jackets and vests sit properly and don’t feel restrictive.

✔ Tips for Best Accuracy

• Keep the tape snug but not tight.
• If your dog tends to wiggle, have a second person assist.
• If your dog is between sizes, choose the larger size for jackets/vests, or ask us for a recommendation.
