Maybe your like

Be sure your dog is standing squarely, with head up while measuring. With the dog looking straight ahead, measure from the point where the neck joins the body to a point near the base of the tail where you want the coat to finish.

Our coat size is based on the back length (i.e. the 8" coat measures 8" along the top of the coat). However to give you a better idea on which size, if any, would be best for your dog, please see the measurements of our coats in the tables further down.

Below is an image to demonstrate where to measure for chest and back length:
