Use a flexible measuring tape
For accurate results, we recommend using a flexible measuring tape. If you don’t have one, a piece of string or ribbon can be used and then measured with a ruler.

Measure the length
While your dog is standing straight and relaxed, measure from the base of the neck—where the collar naturally sits—to the base of the tail. This measurement provides a key reference for how products will sit on your dog’s body.
