Finding the right size for your senior dog is essential for comfort and effectiveness. Use the guides below to measure your dog and select the correct size for each product.
How to Measure Your Dog
For best results, measure your dog while they are standing on a flat surface. Use a flexible measuring tape and record measurements in inches.
- Paw Length: Measure from the tip of the longest toe to the back of the main pad
- Paw Width: Measure across the widest part of the paw
- Leg Circumference: Measure around the leg just above the paw
- Back Length: Measure from the base of the neck to the base of the tail
- Chest Girth: Measure around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs
- Neck Girth: Measure around the base of the neck
- Weight: Your dog's current weight

Measuring Tips for Booties & Socks
- Trace your dog's paw on a piece of paper while they're standing, then measure the outline
- Measure both front paws — they may be slightly different sizes
- If your dog is between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort
- For senior dogs with swollen paws or arthritis, consider sizing up
- Booties should fit snugly but not restrict circulation

Harness Fit Tips
- The harness should be snug — you should be able to fit two fingers between the harness and your dog's body
- Check that the harness does not restrict shoulder movement
- For senior dogs, look for padded straps to prevent chafing on sensitive skin
- Adjust straps gradually and allow your dog to wear the harness for short periods before extended use

- Consider a bed with raised edges for dogs who like to rest their head
- Look for waterproof or water-resistant covers for senior dogs with incontinence issues
