Dog Coat Size Chart & How to Measure Your Dog

Our size number is roughly your dog's back length in inches.

Measure the back and the chest, tell us the coat type, and the finder picks a size in every coat. No breed charts, no weight guessing.

Measure with your dog standing, using a soft tape.
Between sizes? The smaller size usually fits better. A coat that's too big is the fit problem we see most.

How to measure

How to Measure a Dog for a Coat

Back length and chest, measured the same way for every coat we make. Most sizing mistakes happen with the tape, not the chart.

1Back length

Dog standing straight. From where the neck meets the back (just in front of the shoulder blades), along the middle of the spine to where the tail starts. Measure 3 times and use the middle number.

2Chest

Around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs. Tape snug, one finger of room. Fluffy dog? See below.

Fluffy dog?

Pull the tape snug around the chest once. What the fur does tells you how to measure.

Fur presses flat

Lab, Golden, most Shepherds, Doodles

Keep it snug, one finger of room. Use that number.

Fur stays puffy

Samoyed, Husky, Malamute, Old English Sheepdog, long-coat Shepherd

Let the tape rest on top of the fur. Don’t press it down.

The coat has to fit over the fluff too. Puffy fur adds about 2″, and the finder takes it from there.

Size charts

Size Charts, Inches and Centimeters

Find the back length first. The chest column is the most each size takes comfortably; the finder checks both for you.

Puddle Jumper raincoat

Size	Back length	Chest up to
24	23–25.5″58–65 cm	34″86 cm
26	25.5–27.5″65–70 cm	37″94 cm
28	27.5–29.5″70–75 cm	40″102 cm
30	29.5–31.5″75–80 cm	43″109 cm

No tail drawcord, so pick by back length carefully. Under 23″ it will run large.

Snow Warrior snowsuit

Size	Back length	Chest up to
25	25–27″64–69 cm	34″86 cm
27	27–29″69–74 cm	36″91 cm
29	29–30.5″74–77 cm	40″102 cm
31	30.5–32.5″77–83 cm	42″107 cm

Full leg coverage and no stretch across the chest. Fluffy coat that won’t press flat? Measure the chest on top of the fur, so the snowsuit has room for the fluff.

Cozy Hugger fleece jacket

Size	Back length	Chest up to
25	25–26.5″64–67 cm	35″89 cm
27	26.5–28.5″67–72 cm	39″99 cm
29	28.5–30.5″72–77 cm	41.5″105 cm
31	30.5–32.5″77–83 cm	45.5″116 cm

Stretch fleece with rear leg loops. Our most forgiving fit. Right on a line? The smaller size also fits, snug: short-coated and lean dogs often prefer it. The bigger size has more room.

Tag says S, M, L or XL? Same coat, same fit: raincoat S = 24, M = 26, L = 28, XL = 30; winter coats S = 25, M = 27, L = 29, XL = 31.

When to adjust

When the chart alone isn't enough

The finder does all of this for you. Here's what it's thinking.

Smaller size

Between sizes

Take the smaller one. A coat that's too long bunches at the legs and hangs at the belly, and male dogs can wet it.

Bigger size

Broad chest, between sizes

A deep chest needs the room. Take the bigger one and cinch the drawcords for length.

Bigger size

Chest past the chart

We can't add width, so the chest decides. It will run a little long; the drawcords take that up.

Adjust

Short legs and the Snow Warrior

Its full-length legs can run long on short-legged dogs. Roll the cuffs up like a shirt sleeve; they sit a little loose once rolled.

Too small

Back under our smallest size

Raincoat under 23″, snowsuit and fleece under 25″: they'll run large. We'll tell you straight.

Ask us

Back over 33″ or a very deep chest

Our largest sizes have some room past the chart. Send us the numbers and we'll tell you honestly.

Each coat fits differently

How each coat fits

Puddle Jumper

Raincoat · full legs

Our lightest coat, with elastic cuffs that take up a little extra leg.

No tail drawcord: back length matters most
Short legs: slide the elastic cuffs up
Middle drawcord snugs the belly
Longer neck pulls up over the head like a hood

Snow Warrior

Snowsuit · full legs

Layered and windproof, so it doesn't stretch across the chest.

Deep chest or puffy coat: don't size down
Short legs: roll the cuffs up
Tail drawcord shortens the back about 2–3″

Cozy Hugger

Fleece · front sleeves, rear leg loops

Stretch fleece and an open back end. The most forgiving fit.

Open back end, easy on curly tails
Tail and middle drawcords for a snug fit
No leg sleeves at the back to trip on

Fit tips

Got it on? Make it fit.

Middle drawcord

Pull it snug so the coat hugs the body. Keeps male dogs from wetting it.

Tail drawcord

Snowsuit and fleece: shortens the back about 2–3″.

Neck

Slides back toward the tail? Tighten the neck drawcord a little.

Cuffs

Legs a bit long? On the raincoat, slide the elastic cuffs up the leg. On the snowsuit, roll the cuffs up like a shirt sleeve; they sit a little loose once rolled.

How to put it on and adjust the fitStep by step, plus which drawcord fixes what.

FAQ

Dog Coat Sizing FAQ

Can I pick a size by my dog's weight or breed?

No. Dogs of the same weight or breed often need different sizes. Back length and chest are what decide the fit.

My dog is between sizes. Which should I pick?

Usually the smaller size. Go bigger only if your dog has a broad chest. The finder handles this for you.

My dog has a thick, fluffy coat. Do I measure over the fur?

Pull the tape snug around the chest once. If the fur presses flat (Goldens, Labs, most Shepherds, Doodles), use that number. If it stays puffy (Samoyed, Husky, Malamute, Old English Sheepdog), let the tape rest on top of the fur without pressing it down. The coat has to fit over the fluff too.

Will my dog wear the same size in every coat?

Not always. The snowsuit doesn't stretch across the chest, and the fleece is the most forgiving. The finder shows each one.

My dog is a puppy. Should I buy bigger so they grow into it?

Buy for the dog you have today. A coat that's too big now slips and tangles. Exchanges are free when they grow.

Can I use centimeters?

Yes. Switch the finder to cm.

What if it doesn't fit?

Exchanges are free. Try the drawcords first: most "a bit big" coats fit once they're snugged up.

Not sure? We'll pick with you.
