How to measure

1

Back

From the base of the neck, where the collar sits, to the base of the tail. Our sizes are built around this number.

2

Chest

Around the widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs. Deep-chested breeds often need a size up.

3

Neck

Around the neck where the collar sits, with two fingers of room.

Between two sizes?

Go up one size for coats and raincoats, which sit over fur, and down one for knits, which stretch a little with wear.

Care guide

Coats and puffers

Close all zips and snaps, then machine wash cold on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low with two clean tennis balls to keep the down fluffy.

Raincoats

Wipe off mud with a damp cloth. When the water stops beading, wash at 30° and tumble dry low to bring the finish back.

Knitwear

Hand wash or use the wool cycle at 30°. Reshape while damp and dry flat, away from radiators. A fabric comb takes care of pilling.

Hoodies and tees

Machine wash at 30°, inside out. Skip the fabric softener, which can irritate sensitive skin.
