Dog hoodie size guide for cosy walks
A dog hoodie should feel cosy, but it should not pull across the chest or bunch along the back. If you are choosing a hoodie for cool morning walks, sofa days or a useful dog birthday gift, start with fit before colour.
Measure back length first
Measure from the base of the collar to the base of the tail while your dog is standing. Lucky Pup hoodie sizes run from XS at about 25cm back length to 2XL at about 50cm. If your dog is between sizes, check chest room before choosing the neatest back length.
Check chest room and movement
The hoodie should leave enough space for walking, sitting and curling up. Broad chested dogs, fluffy dogs and dogs with a deep rib cage may need more room than their back length suggests. A cosy layer is better slightly comfortable than too tight.
Choose the right hoodie moment
- Everyday walks: choose a comfortable fit that does not restrict shoulders.
- Photos and gifts: pick a colour that suits the dog, then confirm the measurement before ordering.
- Cool weather: choose the hoodie when you want a soft layer. For colder or wetter walks, compare the puffer and parka jackets too.
What to do before checkout
Use the Lucky Pup size and care guide for the full measuring table, then compare colours and sizes on the Dog Hoodie. If you are still choosing between styles, browse the wider dog clothing collection.
