Pet Beds
The measurements of individual beds are given in centimetres within each item description on this website. If you are unsure what size bed to buy for your pet, we recommend you measure your dog or cat when it is lying down in its normal sleeping position.
Measure from the tip of your pet's nose to the base of its tail (where the tailbone connects to the rump) and then add sufficient extra room to allow your pet to be comfortable (if your pet likes to curl up in a ball, take this into account). This measurement should give you the diameter or length of bed your pet needs.
Example: if your dog's neck to tail measurement is 40cm, add about 20cm for comfort and that means you should look at buying a bed that measures around 60cm in length or diameter.
Pet Clothes
Because garment sizing varies greatly amongst brands all sizing information is given within the individual item description on this website.
You cannot assume that because your pet takes a particular size in one brand that it will take the same size in another. For this reason wherever possible information is provided in centimetres and/or dog weight range according to what information is available from the Manufacturers/Distributors.
I strongly recommend you measure your pet in centimeters from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, around the girth (chest) and around the neck as shown in the picture below.
Purchase the garment size that most closely matches your pet's measurements. Most apparel has adjustable fastening which allows for some variation under the tummy and around the neck.
Pet Collars
Most Brands size their collars according to the length of the collar not your pet's neck measurement.
When measuring your dog or cat for a collar keep two to three fingers between your pet's neck and the measuring tape to allow for your pet's comfort. Then add about five centimetres to this neck measurement to get the correct collar length.
If your final measurement is between collar sizes we strongly recommend you buy the larger size. Most collar exchanges I receive are because customers have bought a collar that is too small for their pet.
