SIZING FAQ

We design everything specifically for dachshunds. That means longer chest lengths, thoughtful placements of straps and buckles, and fits that actually stay secure without digging into awkward spots. No more Houdini escapes or uncomfortable waddles.

Because dachshunds aren’t one-size-fits-all—but they’re also not every size! Our sizing range was developed from real-world measurements of dachshunds of all shapes and sizes. Rather than a dozen generic sizes, we focused on three highly specific fits that cater to most dachshund body types—from teeny sausages to full-sized standards. Fewer sizes = more accurate fit for doxies (and less confusion!).

It might! While our products are designed especially for dachshunds, they also work well for other long-bodied or deep-chested breeds like Chihuahuas, Italian Greyhounds, or even Frenchies and Cavoodles depending on proportions. The best way to know? Measure your pup’s neck and chest and check them against our sizing chart. If the measurements line up, you’re good to go!

If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up for harnesses and jackets to ensure a comfy fit—especially if your pup is still growing or has a bit of winter weight! All our harnesses are adjustable in both the neck and chest for a custom fit.

Yes! Our adjustable designs mean they can grow with your pup. Just be sure to measure now and keep checking as your doxie grows—those long bodies can surprise you!

Each product page includes a sizing chart in the images and description. You can also check our full sizing guides (with videos) in our Fit + Care Guide Menu at the top of our website.

Check out our individual guides (with graphics) showing how to measure, where to measure, how to dress your dachshund in our gear and what it should look like when you are done. These can be found under our Fit + Care Guide.

Your pup’s harness should:

• Sit snugly around the base of the neck and chest, without cutting in or restricting movement
• Allow two fingers of space between the straps and your dog’s body
• Sit across the chest plate, not the throat
• Be adjusted so the waist clip sits 2-3 fingers-width back from their front legs, and the front D-ring (if using it) sits on the centre of the chest

A well-fitted harness won’t shift side-to-side, wont interfere with their leg movement, and should stay put during walkies—even zoomies.

Your pup’s collar should:

• Sit comfortably around the neck, with two fingers of space between the collar and your dog’s neck
• Not ride up onto the throat or sit too low on the shoulders
• Be snug enough that it won’t slip over the head, but loose enough not to dig in

We recommend using collars for ID tags and cute photos, but for walks, our harnesses are best for safety and comfort.

Our jackets are designed for longer torsos and low bellies—so no wet tummies on winter walks. If your pup is in between sizes, go up for layering comfort.

• Jackets are designed to go over top of your harness (hole provided at the neck area for leash clip)
• Wool jumpers are designed to go under your harness.

Absolutely! We want your pup to feel fab and comfy. Keep the tags on, then reach out to us via our contact form or email with your order number and details and we will respond within 24hrs.
