Clothes for dogs - not luxury as can seem at first sight. Pets rather gentle beings therefore the warm poponka or a jacket will allow your favourite to enjoy walk and not to freeze. The waterproof overalls will allow a dog not to soil the wool, even when on the street slush. But, as well as for people, the clothes for dogs have the sizes.
Instruction
1. Correctly to determine the size of clothing which will be worn by your pet it is necessary to take correctly measurements. Depends on it, it will be how convenient to feel a dog and whether it will be pleasant to it to sport in those dresses which you will acquire in pet-shop. You need to determine three parameters of your dog, having measured at her a grasp of a neck, breast and length of a back.
2. Put the pet exactly. By means of a flexible measuring tape (centimeter) or a roulette measure back length from withers to the tail basis along a backbone. At a dog who costs quietly and not movably, withers – the highest place on a back it is near a neck, between scapular bones.
3. Measure chest, having missed the measuring film around corps of a dog, behind forepaws at once. Almost at all breeds of dog this widest place of a thorax. That the clothes did not squeeze a body of a dog, add to this size 2-3 more cm on free fitting.
4. Measure a grasp of a neck in its widest part - freely buttoned collar is just in this place. The grasp of a neck is almost equal to collar length.
5. As the unified size table for dogs does not exist and each producer defines them, you need to correlate the received sizes of your dog to the size table of the specific producer.
6. If the sizes of your dog get between the sizes specified in the table choose that size which is a little more. If the breed of your dog is characterized by a dense constitution, then buy it clothes 1 size bigger. Thin-boned lean dogs can buy a suit one size smaller.
