Sizing & Measuring Guide – The Puppy Pop

At The Puppy Pop, we know that sizing can sometimes be confusing. Many pet product brands and manufacturers have their own unique size charts, and unfortunately, there’s no universal sizing system in the dog world. 

To make it more challenging, dogs can vary in size even within the same breed because of age, diet, build, and breeding history. That’s why taking accurate measurements is always the best way to get the perfect fit for your furry mate.

 We strongly suggest checking your dog’s measurements against each product’s size chart before placing your order. Sizes can differ between brands, styles, and even product types, so always double-check for accuracy.

  • If your dog falls between two sizes, it’s generally best to order the next size up for comfort.
  • Proper measuring will save you the stress and cost of purchasing the wrong size for your pet.
  • Every product page on The Puppy Pop includes a detailed sizing guide to help you make the right choice.

Measuring your Dog

Many products vary in size between Brand Labels & manufacturers, who use their own size charts, which may lead to confusion as there is no universal sizing in the dog world. Dogs can vary in size even within their own breeds due to age, diet, breeding history etc making measurements the best guide for ensuring the best fit!

** WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHECKING YOUR DOGS MEASUREMENTS
WITH EACH STYLE & BRAND ITEM, AS SIZES CAN VARY FROM PRODUCT TO PRODUCT **

This is vitally important to save buying wrong sized items for your fur babies.

Order the next size up if your dog falls between measurements.

Chest Size

Use the tape measure to gently encircle your dogs chest at it’s widest point, normally just behind the front legs. Allow 2 finger space between the tape & the dogs girth to ensure a snug.

Dog Goggles

Dogs come in various head shapes and sizes, it’s important to measure your doggy first, to ensure the right fit.

Step 1: Use a soft tape measure and measure above your fur baby’s eyes, from temple to temple to avoid any discomfort.

Step 2: Compare your dog’s measurement to the width/size of the Goggles to ensure the best fit!

# Tip: If you only have a ruler, use a piece of string or ribbon, run it from temple to temple, then straighten it out against a ruler to get the measurement.

Dog Shoes & Socks

Place the paw on a piece of paper and press down on the top, mimicking how the paw spreads when the dog’s walking.

Mark the left & the right side and Front & Back of the paw on the paper and measure the distance between the marks.

Helpful Hints:

Paw Width is the most important aspect for fitting and staying on a Dogs paws.
A few mm can make quite a difference on shoes fitting on the paws to keep in mind.

* Consider your Dogs Paw Bunching up & any Fur when measuring. 
* Having extra length is fine to accommodate growing claws.

Dog Hat

Dogs come in various head shapes and sizes making it important to measure your doggy first, to ensure the right fit.

Diameter: Compare your dog’s measurement to the width / size of the Hat to ensure the best fit!

Circumference: Use a soft tape measure and measure the distance around the head at the thickest point (just in front of the ears).

BIG & LITTLE DOGS SIZING

Big & Little Dogs may be different to other brands that are on the market.

We would recommend not assuming that you will be the same size as another brand.

Each Harness Type does have a different sizing, so please ensure to check the size chart prior to purchasing, as your pup may be in a different size in each type of harness.

Please note that there are different sizing charts for the different products that we sell.
