How to Measure your Doxie

Use a soft measuring tape and have your pup stand naturally.

  • Back Length

    Measure from the base of the neck (where the collar sits) to the base of the tail. This is the most important measurement for dachshunds!

  • Chest Girth

    Measure around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs. Make sure the tape is snug but not tight.

  • Neck Circumference

    Measure around the base of the neck where the collar naturally sits. Leave room for two fingers.

    Finding Your Size

    Each coat has its own unique size chart based on its specific design and fit. Please refer to the individual size guide on each product page to find the right size for your doxie.

    Sizing Tips

    • Back length is key! This is the most critical measurement for dachshunds. When in doubt, prioritise back length over weight.
    • Room to move: The coat should fit snugly but allow your pup to walk, sit and play comfortably.
