When purchasing clothing mainly at Seatou, the [A], [B], and [G] measurements are required. Each product page lists the actual dimensions of the product and indicates whether it has stretch, so please check these details and select the size that fits your pet.

Please note that sizes may vary by brand and product, so be sure to measure your pet and check the size chart before making a purchase. As the measurements are taken by hand, there may be a slight margin of error. Therefore, we allow for a margin of error of 1 to 2 cm.

Key Measurement Areas and Methods
Neck Circumference (A): Use a soft tape measure to wrap around the narrowest part of the pet’s neck (usually above the shoulder blades). Ensure about 2-3 cm of slack is left during measurement to avoid tightness and ensure comfort.
Chest Circumference (B): Wrap the tape measure horizontally around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs. Flatten the fur and leave 3-5 cm of room for movement to ensure free breathing and comfortable activity.
Back Length (G): Measure in a straight line along the spine from the base of the neck (where the collar sits) to the base of the tail. Keep the pet in a natural standing position, and ensure the tape is snug against the body without overstretching.

Measurement Tips
Tools and Posture: Use a soft tape measure and ensure the pet is relaxed. Measurements taken while standing are more accurate.
Brand Variations: Sizing standards may vary by approximately 10% across different brands. Always refer to the specific product’s size chart.
Margin of Error: A manual measurement allows for a 1-2 cm margin of error. It is recommended to take multiple measurements and use the average for greater accuracy.

Purchasing Recommendations
Check Product Pages: Seatou’s product pages display actual dimensions and fabric stretch information. Compare these details with your pet’s measurements when selecting a size.
Style Suitability: For two-legged clothing (e.g., vests), focus on the chest circumference. For four-legged clothing (full-body suits), refer to both the back length and chest circumference.

By taking precise measurements of these three key dimensions and carefully checking the brand’s size chart, you can select well-fitted and comfortable clothing for your beloved pet.
