Pet Halloween & Costume Sizing Guide
Pet Halloween & Costume Sizing Guide
Finding the right costume fit keeps your pet comfortable and looking their best. Most pet costumes are sized by back length and chest girth — measure both for the best result.
How to Measure Your Pet
- Back Length: Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail along the backbone.
- Chest Girth: Measure around the widest part of the chest, right behind the front legs.
