Instructions
for measuring Dog Knit Sweater including small dogs up to extra-large dogs (Great Dane knit wool coats) |
The last two measurements are best accomplished with the pet in a sitting position
while most of the others require that the pet be standing. Make
the session as easy on the pet as possible. If the pet is trying to break-dance, the measurements will go wrong. All of the measurements are important to a good fit. Numbers 5, 6, and 7 should
receive an extra glance. Measure twice and make it once is always
the best. Here are some hints: - 1. Chest: the chest should always be measured at the largest part of the chest.
- 2. Leg Hole: should always be measured at the largest circumference of the leg.
- 3. Leg to Elbow is from the "underarm" to the first joint of the leg.
- 4. Neck works best if it's from the base of the neck. If the dog has a really big
head, please say so.
- 5. Neck to Leg is from the collar to the
top of the front of the leg. Critical
- 6. Neck to Sternum is
from the collar area to the notch where the rib cage turns into the "tummy." Critical
- 7. Neck to Tail is from the collar to the base of the tail along the back. Critical
- 8. The harness hole is from the top of the collar and down to the neck area wherever
you want to put it
- 9. Usually dogs are smaller in the back
than in the front. This measurement is the circumference around the back next to the legs so that the sweater can be tapered
and have a better fit.
