Breed Size Guide
Buying Based on Breed
Although, it is recommended that pets are measured before choosing new pet collars, clothes and beds etc, we know that this isn't always possible when buying gifts or for new puppies.
The size chart below is a guide only, as all pets are unique and therefore may not fit into their breed's 'standard' size. Within breeds, there will be some size variation between the genders with females being smaller (sometimes one or two sizes smaller than males of the same breed.)
