How to Measure Your Greyhound

Getting the Perfect Fit for Your Custom Dog Coat

To ensure your handmade coat fits perfectly, please take the following measurements using a soft measuring tape. Have your Greyhound stand naturally and relaxed.


Side View Measurements

Have your Greyhound stand sideways in a natural, relaxed position.
