6 Sizing for Pet Clothing Please note that all pet items are not created equal. This means that if your pet wears a Small from one designer it does not necessarily mean that she would wear a Small from another designer. We have provided individual sizing charts with dimensions to assist you with the best choice for your pet. Please measure your pet before purchasing to ensure the best fit possible or contact us for additional assistance! General Measurement Guide: Neck: Measure at the thickest point of the neck, right above the shoulder. Chest: Measure around your dog s chest at the widest point for the best fit. Length: Measure from the neck to the base of the tail. Remember these charts are given as a general guide. If your pet is between sizes or still growing, please go up to the next size. The majority of returned items are due to owners getting an item that is too small! Size Chart for Pets: Clothing: Size Neck Chest Length X-Small Small Medium Large X-Large XX-Large Bandannas/Collars: Measure at the thickest point of your pet s neck. Add 1-2 to ensure a comfortable fit. Bandanas: One Size Fits All Collars: Size Width Adjustable X-Small 3/ Small 3/ Medium 3/ Large 3/

7 Size Chart for People If you are just fitting into the size you normally get, and you like your shirts roomy, you may want to step up to the next size. Tee-shirts and Hoodies are unisex on a standard men s size scale. Generally speaking, you should order the same size shirt you wear in other similar shirts. Our tee-shirts are pre-shrunk and should not radically shrink when first washed. We recommend giving a quarter size for shrinking over the lifetime of the shirt. All tee-shirts are 100% pre-shrunk 6.1 oz. cotton. Organic tee-shirts are 5 oz. 100% certified organic cotton fiber. Hoodies are 8 oz. cotton fleece 50/50 blend. For best results and longevity of your item, please follow the washing instructions on the label. Never use bleach or harsh detergents.
