Dog Size Charts (Imperial/Metric)

Choosing the right size is one of the most important steps when making dog wear. That’s why I created these size charts in both imperial and metric measurements, with typical breeds listed for each size. These are just general guidelines though—every dog is unique, just like we are.

 When the fit is right, your handmade coat or sweater won’t just look good, it will feel comfortable and practical for your pup. The charts are here to make it simple, so you can focus on the joy of creating something special for your dog.
