Size guide
Beds
Measure your dog from nose to base of tail while they are lying stretched out, then add a few centimetres. Most dogs sleep stretched rather than curled, so a bed sized to a curled-up dog will get ignored.
| Size | Typical breeds |
|---|---|
| Small | Jack Russell, dachshund, French bulldog, Cavalier King Charles |
| Medium | Cocker spaniel, border collie, staffie, whippet |
| Large | Labrador, golden retriever, German shepherd, boxer |
Hoodies
Two measurements, and chest is the one that catches people out.
Back length — from the base of the neck, where a collar sits, to the base of the tail. Measure while your dog is standing, not lying down.
Chest girth — the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs. Snug but not tight, with room for a finger or two.
| Size | Typical breeds |
|---|---|
| XXXS – XXS | Chihuahua, toy poodle, Yorkshire terrier |
| XS – S | Dachshund, Jack Russell, shih tzu, mini schnauzer |
| M | Cocker spaniel, beagle, whippet, border collie |
| L – XL | Staffie, labrador, springer spaniel, German shepherd |
Deep-chested breeds such as greyhounds, whippets and staffies often need a size up from what their back length alone suggests.
Between two sizes?
Size up. A bed slightly too big still works; one slightly too small gets ignored. A hoodie slightly too big can still be worn; one that pulls across the chest will not be.
