The Right Fit

Chilly Dogs has a wide array of sizes in three different categories: All Breed, Long & Lean and Whippet. To ensure your new Chilly Dogs coat fits your dog properly please take the time to measure correctly and indicate these measurements on your order. Our coats are not custom made to your dogs’ specifications, however the measurements are used to help us determine if the best size of coat has been selected.

Chilly Dogs reviews every order (breed, measurements and weight) before we process and ship your order. If Chilly Dogs is uncertain that the best size has been ordered we will contact you by email for more information.

2Measuring Steps

  1. Use a soft tape measure or wide rope to take the measurements, not a hard straight ruler.
  2. Your dog must be standing straight with head up. If your dog is laying down or sitting his/her back dimension will be longer than the actual back length.
  3. Measure from the base of the neck (just in front of the shoulder blades) to the base of tail.
  4. The coat length should be the same or longer by 1 to 2 inches as your dog's back length.

Back Length

backlength

Start at the base of the neck just in front of the shoulder blades, not from the collar, and go to the base of the tail.

Chest Girth

girth

Circumference of chest at thickest point.

Chest Width

chestwidth

Horizontal distance across chest.

Neck Girth

neckgirth

Circumference of base of neck.



3Choose Coat

  1. Choose the coat size based on your dog's back length, chest girth and breed. (for example - If your dog has a back length of 25" and is a Doberman, then order the All Breed L-27" coat or All Breed Large Sweater. If your male Greyhound has a back length of 30" then order the Long & Lean L-31" coat or the L&L Large Sweater).
  2. View the Sizing and Breed Guide to help you determine the best size of coat, sweater and head muff for your dog.
  3. If you are deciding between two sizes, choose the smaller one, our coats fit on the large side.
  4. Don't choose a size that is several inches longer than your dogs back length. This will not give them more coverage.
  5. Contact Chilly Dogs for assistance if you are still uncertain of which coat size to order:
