🌟 Paw Puparazzi's Ultimate Size Guide & How To Measure

For Pets, Pet Parents, Fashion, Accessories, Travel Gear & More!

⚠️ Start Here: Always Check Product-Specific Charts First

Every product at Paw Puparazzi has its own unique size chart in the description of that product. This is because materials, cuts, how clothes wear and item specifications all vary.

The product-specific chart is ALWAYS the most accurate sizing guide for that exact item. Use the general measuring instructions below to take your measurements correctly — then match your measurements to the chart shown on the product page.

🐾 Why Measuring Matters

Buying for yourself is personal. Buying for your pup? Even more personal. Dogs come in all shapes — deep-chested, petite-legged, fluffy, slender, square-framed — and humans aren’t one-size-fits-all either.

Whether you’re measuring your own body, your dog, or your new travel accessories, this guide makes shopping online fast, simple, and frustration-free.

Accurate Measuring Ensures:

✔ Comfortable, Secure Fit

✔ Happy Pets & Confident Pet Parents

✔ Fewer Returns, Exchanges & Disappointments

✔ Best Performance For Safety Gear

👑 How To Measure Yourself (Unisex, Men’s & Women’s)

Stand Tall
- For height, stand with feet slightly apart and measure from the top of your head to the floor.
Tops
- Chest/ Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline.
- Hips: Measure the widest part of your hips.
Bottoms
- Waist & Hips: Measure as above.
- Inseam: Measure from the top of the inner thigh down to the ankle.
Fit Rules
- If your measurements fall between two sizes, choose the smaller size for a closer wear or the larger size for a looser wear. For pants, use your hip measurement if your hip and waist suggest different sizes. For tops, use your chest/ bust measurement if your chest and waist suggest different sizes.

🐶 How To Measure Your Dog

🐩 Your dog must be standing normally for accurate measurements.

Neck Circumference
Measure at the base of the neck where the collar naturally sits. Tape should be snug but not tight.
Chest Girth
Measure the widest part of the chest, right behind the front legs. This is the most important measurement for dog apparel.
Back Length
Measure from the base of the neck (collar position) to the base of the tail.
Paws (For Shoes)
Have your dog stand on paper → trace all four paws → measure width & length → add ¼ inch for comfort.
Dog Height (For Bowl Height & Beds)
Measure from floor to top of shoulders (withers).

💡 Good Ideas & Tips

For dogs with thick fur or deep chests → size up.
Puppies still growing → choose the larger size.
Always check the exact chart on the product page.
