Sizing guide.
A soft tape measure and thirty seconds will save you a return. If your dog falls between two sizes, take the larger one.
Collars
Measure around the base of the neck with a soft tape, where the collar will actually sit, and add two fingers of room. Measure the dog, not an old collar — collars stretch.
| Size | Neck | Typically |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 9–11" | Toy breeds |
| S | 11–14" | Terriers, spaniels |
| M | 14–18" | Retrievers, pointers |
| L | 18–23" | Shepherds, mastiffs |
Bridle leather softens and takes the shape of the neck over the first month. It does not stretch out — buy the size that fits now, not the one you hope will fit later.
Harnesses
Measure the girth — around the deepest part of the chest, just behind the front legs.
| Size | Girth |
|---|---|
| XS | 12–16" |
| S | 16–21" |
| M | 21–27" |
| L | 27–34" |
A correctly fitted harness lets you slide two flat fingers under any strap. Both chest and belly straps adjust independently, so a deep-chested dog and a barrel-chested dog take the same size.
Beds
Measure your dog nose to tail while they are stretched out on their side, then add six inches. Dogs that curl can go one size down; dogs that sprawl should go one size up.
| Size | Bed | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| S | 24×18" | Under 25 lb |
| M | 34×24" | 25–60 lb |
| L | 42×30" | Over 60 lb |
Bowls
S holds 2 cups · M holds 4 cups · L holds 7 cups. Most adult dogs eat from a medium. The elevated oak feeder takes the medium stoneware bowl.
