Measure chest, neck and back, then use the chart for the exact raincoat. A breed or weight estimate cannot replace the actual measurements.
Choose a dog raincoat using your dog's measurements and the size chart for that exact style. Weight and breed can provide context, but they do not replace chest, neck and back measurements.
Take three measurements
Use a soft measuring tape while your dog stands comfortably on all four legs. Keep the tape level and close to the body without pulling it tight.
- Chest: measure around the widest part of the ribcage, usually just behind the front legs.
- Neck: measure around the base of the neck, following the position shown in the product's measuring diagram.
- Back length: measure along the back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, unless the product chart specifies different starting points.
Use the chart for the exact raincoat
Compare all three measurements with the product page. Sizes and proportions can differ between a reversible raincoat, a zip-up jacket and a clear-hood style. Check whether a chart shows body measurements or garment measurements, and follow any fit allowance stated by the product.
If your measurements fall into different sizes or outside the chart, ask support@shophde.com for help. Do not automatically choose by back length alone or assume a larger size will fit correctly.
Check the fit before a walk
Let your dog try the coat indoors. Check that the closures fasten comfortably, the front legs can move freely, and the hood does not obstruct the eyes. Review the selected style's leash or harness access rather than assuming all jackets use the same opening.

Common questions
Can I choose by breed or weight?
Use actual measurements. Dogs of the same breed or weight can have different proportions.
Will my dog's usual size work in every style?
Size labels vary by design. Recheck the exact product's chart each time.
What if my dog is between sizes?
Follow the product's fit guidance and compare every measurement. Contact support if no size accommodates your dog comfortably.
Does every color come in every size?
Availability varies. The product selector shows the options currently offered for that style.

Once you have the measurements, compare the three raincoat constructions. Re-measure if your dog’s body size or coat changes. Keep a note of the measuring method along with the numbers so you can make the same comparison next time.
