Measuring for Ruffwear Dog Harnesses, Apparel, and Packs<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The key to sizing Ruffwear harnesses, apparel, and packs is measuring your dog\u2019s girth<\/strong>. The girth is the widest part of your dog\u2019s chest, just behind the front legs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Measure Your Dog’s Girth for Ruffwear Gear<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To measure your dog’s girth, use a tailor’s tape measure (or a piece of string and a ruler). Wrap the tape around the widest part of your dog\u2019s ribcage, right behind their front legs, and note the measurement. Once you have your dog\u2019s girth, refer to the Ruffwear size chart to find the correct size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
