How to Measure Your Dachshund

Measurements are needed for all coat orders. You will need your Dachshund's weight, neck, length, and chest circumference measurements in order to select the correct size and place an order. Remember that our coats are breed specific, so Dachshund coat sizes are unique to the breed and not intended for another breed.

After measuring your Dachshund, enter your dog's measurements in the Get Your Dog Fitted area. Use your dog's measurements to select the best coat size for your dog. These are standard Dachshund sizes, and are not customized. If your Dachshund has unusual proportions, order a custom dog coat to fit your dog.

Tools Needed	Measuring Tips
Use a soft measuring tape.	Measure accurately as shown.
NECK (N): Measure the circumference midway between the ears and base of neck. LENGTH (L): Measure along the back from between the shoulder blades to the base of the tail. CHEST (C): Measure around the widest/deepest part of the chest — usually right behind the front legs.

Standard Sizes for standard Dachshunds only. These are NOT customized to your measurements.

Be sure your dog's chest girth falls within the parameters of the size you choose. If your Dachshund is a puppy and still growing, read How do I choose a dog coat for my puppy?
