HOW DO I MEASURE MY PET?

How do I measure my pet?



When purchasing dog clothing in our store, we highly recommend that you first refer to the illustration above. This will help you determine how to measure your pet. All pets come in different shapes and sizes, even the same breed will vary depending on their age and weight. Each item we carry has its own individual measurements in the product description as each manufacturer determines the sizing of the garment. So please measure your pet carefully with a tape measure and refer to the sizing guide and measurements in the product description before purchasing. If you need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@nutsaboutmutts.com.au

It's best to have your pet standing up when you do the measurements. Keep the front end occupied by putting a treat in front of him. Rope in a friend as well to help with the measuring!

Length
Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tale as shown in the illustration. Keep in mind that when selecting a sweater, coat, etc, this length is usually designed to be close to the base of your pet's tail. Shirts, tanks, tees, etc, are usually designed to be 5-10cm (2-4") above the tail.

Chest (girth)
Measure around the back of the front legs and around to the collar bone which is generally the widest part of the body.

Neck
The neck measurement is the circumference of the neck. Measure around the neck where the collar sits.

If you are still unsure about your pet's measurements, please email us at info@nutsaboutmutts.com.au and we'll try our best to assist you.

If you have registered or placed an order but not received communication from us, please check your Spam/Junk Mail folders.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY DOG'S COLLAR?
The safest way to clean a nylon or cotton dog collar is on the gentle cycle of a washing machine with a load of socks, towels, or similar non-delicate items. Use mild detergent and cool or warm water. If the dog collar has an odor from use, presoak in a bowl of water with three tablespoons dissolved baking soda.

HOW DO I CANCEL AN ORDER?
Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of the order being placed. We reserve the right to cancel any order for any reason that we deem makes it necessary to do so, including, but not limited to, stock unavailability, webshop errors or pricing errors. If a cancelled order has already been paid for, a full refund will be issued as soon as possible.

WHAT IS YOUR RETURN POLICY?
