THE FITTING ROOM - SIZING YOUR DOG

It's frustrating to anticipate buying something darling for your dog only to find it doesn't fit well when you put it on!  At Designer Duds for Dogs, we offer the following tips and tricks to ensure a proper fit so you can avoid that frustration!

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR OUR PATENT PENDING SHIRT-STYLE COLLARS!

These are meant to fit snugly so please measure your dog's neck well...measure in the CENTER of the neck, NOT at the base!!!  You do NOT want the normal "two finger" loose fit for these collars but instead less than one finger or the collar will hang too loosely.  When in doubt on size, go smaller!  This is completely contrary to most fittings for dog collars but your dog will be completely comfortable with the snug fit!

Please note:   the bowties offer EITHER a black elastic loop or a white elastic loop on the back to attach  to the shirt collar.  Click on thumbnails below for larger view.

Choose either black or white elastic loop in the shopping cart.  If ordering for the first time (or if ordering additional bowties after a previous purchase of a collar) please be sure to indicate which elastic loop color you prefer.
 


How to measure your dog (measure areas depending on what you're ordering)

Let your dog stand straight.

For Body Length:  Measure the body length from neckline, where the collar is, to the base of tail

For Neck:  Measure around the neck at the widest part above the shoulders

For Chest:   Measure around the chest, the widest part of bodice
