Sizing / Measurments
Where to measure
Measuring your dog sounds simple… but you’d be surprised how many people get it wrong. And with every brand measuring a bit differently, it’s no wonder it can be a challenge!
This diagram is for OUR products - so grab a soft tape and measure accurately (no guessing, and please don’t “add a few cm for good measure”). The tape needs to be firm - (but not too tight ) around your dog.
Dogs come in all shapes and sizes; unfortunately, like human clothes, not every style works for every dog. If your pup’s in-between sizes or tricky to fit, we’re here to help - just send us a message over on our contact page.
POINTER & HOUND Jackets
Our jackets fit different to stock-standard dog jackets. Why? Because we have designed them and tailored the fit and measurements. This is a exclusive style and sizing to POINTER & HOUND.
Our Waterproof Jacket and Highland Coat are the same style and sizing - but the Highland Coat's material is thicker and heavier.
Here you can find the measurements for our jackets. Please note: Breed and Weight on the chart is only an estimate. These jackets are very adjustable around the chest strap, and can be pulled in at the neck with a bungee cord. The length can even be slighty shortened by cinching in the bungee cord above the tail.
Jacket Sizing
The main thing people get confused about is back length. We have added two measurements in the chart - the measurement outside the brackets is from the seam at the neck to the base of the jacket. The second measurment (inside the brackets) includes the neck piece - so this measures from the top of the neck piece to the base of the jacket. The neck can be cinched in, or left loose - when left loose, the jacket can sit further back on the dog, which contributes quite a bit of additional length to the jacket.
Alternatively, the jacket can be pulled up higher around the dogs neck and cinched in with the bungee cord to shorten the length and be positioned up higher around the dogs neck.
POINTER & HOUND Harnesses
Our main two harness styles are the Signature Harness and the Tactical Harness.
The Signature Harness is suitable for dogs that are extra small to extra large. It's lightweight yet durable, and comes in 6 sizes to help cater for those dogs who are in between sizes.
The Tactical Harness is designed for medium to extra large dogs - and the sizing of this style runs larger because of this. Its heavier, and super tough. Great for dogs who are hard on gear, active, or deeper chested.
Follow the measurement areas in the diagram above to get your dogs neck and chest measurements, then carefully compare them to the measurements on the product pages.
