You must measure your pet when it is standing up.
You won't get accurate measurements if the dog is sitting or lying down.
Weight should be used as a guideline only as it will not give an accurate length or width.
DOG COATS ~ HOW TO MEASURE FOR A COAT
Certain breeds e.g. greyhound, or an over or underweight dog may need a custom fit. There are two measurements that need to be made in order to get the correct fit.
For the length, one of the most important measurements, measure the backbone of the dog from the base of the neck to the start of the tail. That's the start of the tail ---not the very tip. Just the base of the dog's back where the tail starts.
Start the neck measurement where the collar would sit naturally on the pet's back.
Also measure around the chest 1/2"behind the front legs. This is the thickest part of the chest. This measurement is often referred to as the girth. Remember that this may vary by breed.
Remember to check dog size against individual product items.
