Dog Clothes Size Chart by Breed (XXS to 3XL)
By the PuppyUnion team · Updated
This dog clothes size chart by breed is a great starting point – but always confirm with a tape measure, because individual dogs vary a lot.
The table below shows typical adult chest girth, back length and the clothing size most dogs of that breed wear. These ranges are for reference only – puppies, mixes and individual dogs vary, so measure your own dog. Each breed name links to fit tips and styles that suit that body shape.

Chest-heavy breeds
French Bulldogs, Pugs and Corgis have deep chests relative to their back length. Size by chest; if the back is long, choose stretchy fabrics that won't bunch.
Long-body breeds
Dachshunds and Corgis often need a size up for back length. Look for adjustable straps and a short belly cut – see Dachshund clothes: size and fit.
Sighthounds
Italian Greyhounds, Greyhounds and Whippets have a deep chest, a narrow waist and a long back, so standard sizes are usually too short. See Greyhound, Whippet and Italian Greyhound coat sizing.
Toy breeds
For Pomeranians, Chihuahuas and Yorkies, measure under the fur and pick light, soft fabrics. An XS (or XXS) that fits well is far better than a loose S.
