Make sure your dog is standing uprightly while you take the measurement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Measuring the Neck <\/strong>\u2013 An accurate neck size it important because if it\u2019s too tight your mate might have trouble moving and it can cause breathing difficulties. Hence, to be on the safe side, it is advisable to opt for one size higher than the required one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Measuring the Chest <\/strong>\u2013 The chest is often referred to as the girth and is an important measurement as it will help your pal to move freely without any restrictions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Checking Weight <\/strong>\u2013 Another aspect which needs to be kept in mind is the weight of your mate. The weight helps you immensely in choosing the correct size of clothing.
