The key point to remember is that your measurements don’t have to be exact, most clothing have a 2-3 cm variance, so you have some leeway.

Measuring your Pug can be difficult if you have a Pug who cannot sit or stand still for a few minutes, therefore it is highly recommended that you get help from someone who can hold your Pug whilst you measure.

Alternatively, if you don’t have help available you could put your Pug on a stable table or in the laundry sink to restrict movement whilst you measure.

Although getting all measurements are handy when choosing your Pug’s clothing and accessories, the priority order in which you should get your measurements is: Chest, Neck, Length, Height, Head.

As a general guide to measuring each position, have the tape measure ready between your two hands so that you can quickly and gently put it in place and measure by joining your two hands together, then holding the position that the tape end marks on the measurement with your thumb nail.

Once sure, drop the tape end and note down the number of centimetres marked on the measuring tape by your thumb nail.
