I followed the links to the Fido shirts and when I went to find Scottie's size, I found this:

Dog T-Shirt Fit Guide
SIZE full body length neck opening sleeve length chest width weight
S 10" 4" 4" 7.25" up to 10 lbs.
M 12" 4.75" 4" 8.25" 12-25 lbs.
L 15.5" 7.75" 5.5" 9.25" 26-40 lbs.
XL 17.5" 8.75" 6.5" 11.5" 41-60 lbs.
XXL 20" 9.5" 7.5" 12.75" 61-80 lbs.


Measuring Instructions:
Chest/bust
Raise your arms slightly and measure around your body. Be sure to measure the fullest part of your chest/bust, keeping the tape parallel to the ground.

Waist
Measure around your waist where your pants usually fall. Keep one finger between the tape and your body to ensure an accurate fit.

Sleeve
Place your hand on your hip with your arm bent at a 90 degree angle. Measure from the middle of the back of your neck, across your shoulder and down your arm to your wrist.

Length
Find a t-shirt that fits you. Measure from the center of the back collar of your favorite t-shirt to the end of the shirt, this is your desired length.

Now, I don't know about YOUR dog, but MY Scottish Terrierists are not going to allow me to measure their chests, and they can't bend they're little legs to 90 degrees, let alone reach their waists.

Also, try as I might, I just CAN'T get my two Terrierists to wear pants.

:D
 
Yes, Rover isnt going to like his Inseam being taken anyways...

You know, I only create the shirts...I dont make 'em...(who came up with the idea of sizing your puppy??? A cat owner, probably...lol) :D

(but unlike Ann, I REFUSE to cook bacon naked...)
 
Hey- I also refuse to cook bacon naked! Unless it's in the oven in the bar pan and therefore the splattering grease is contained.I was unable to comment earlier because I was busy last night SIGNING A NEW CONSULTANT! (Now I'm playing hookey from work to get ready for my show tonight.)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What size should I order for my dog?

The size you should order for your dog depends on their breed and weight. It's best to refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer, which typically includes measurements for neck, chest, and length. If your dog is between sizes, it's usually recommended to choose the larger size for comfort.

How do I measure my dog for the correct size?

To measure your dog, use a soft measuring tape. Measure around the widest part of their chest for the chest size, from the base of the neck to the base of the tail for the length, and around the neck for the neck size. Make sure your dog is standing and relaxed while you take these measurements for the most accurate results.

What if my dog is a mixed breed?

If your dog is a mixed breed, try to identify the closest breed that resembles your dog's size and shape. Use the measurements you took to compare with the sizing chart. If you’re unsure, consider reaching out to customer service for assistance in selecting the right size.

Can I return or exchange the item if it doesn't fit?

Yes, most companies have a return or exchange policy for items that do not fit. Be sure to check the specific return policy of the retailer where you purchased the item. Keep the original packaging and receipt, as these may be required for a return or exchange.

What if my dog is still growing?

If your dog is still growing, it may be wise to purchase a size that allows for some extra room. Consider adjustable options or items made from stretchy materials. Additionally, keep in mind that some brands may have a range of sizes that accommodate growth.
