Run the tape from here directly along the backbone to the base of the tail.)

NOTE: We use drawstrings with stoppers and velcro closures in most of our products to allow for approximately 2" leeway in weight and growth. However, please try to measure your pet as accurately as possible for the best fit.
If you don't think any of the sizes above match your pet, then please e-mail us for a free custom fitting. Just measure the Neck, girth, and length, and send it to us! We can make anything here to fit your pet, as All dogs go to Debbie's make all their own products!
