How do I measure my dog's chest for the 'Rocket' harness?

Dear dog lovers,

Please measure your dog's chest circumference carefully before ordering our Rocket harness. This will save you the hassle of an ill-fitting harness and will also protect the environment, as we won't have to send things back and forth unnecessarily.

Under each harness in our shop you will find a table with exact sizes and the respective centimetre measurements. To do this, simply scroll down.

Now stand your dog up straight and note the point that is two fingers wide behind your dog's shoulder. This is where the chest strap of your harness should ideally sit. 

ATTENTION: For large dogs, it can be a little more, up to a hand's width. Make sure that your measuring point is in front of the last ribs - this will prevent your harness from slipping behind the rib cage when pulled and therefore no longer sitting in the right place.

Now place your measuring tape exactly and measure the centimeters. If you don't have a measuring tape to hand, we recommend using a string, a belt or even a dog leash, placing it around your dog's chest at the appropriate point and then attaching it to a folding rule or a ruler.
