Getting the right fit on a dachshund comes down to three measurements: back length, chest, and neck. Measure with a soft tape while your dog is standing.

How to measure your dachshund for clothes — back length, chest, neck

  • Back length — from the base of the neck (where a collar sits) to the base of the tail.
  • Chest — around the deepest, widest part of the ribcage, just behind the front legs.
  • Neck — around the base of the neck where a collar rests.
Size Back length Chest Neck
S 33 cm / 13.0" 42 cm / 16.5" 32 cm / 12.6"
M 36 cm / 14.2" 48 cm / 18.9" 36 cm / 14.2"
L 40 cm / 15.7" 54 cm / 21.3" 38 cm / 15.0"
XL 43 cm / 16.9" 60 cm / 23.6" 40 cm / 15.7"

Between sizes? Choose the size 2–3 cm above your dog's actual chest — clothes should close comfortably, not compress. Long-haired or deep-chested? Size up on the chest. Still unsure? Message us with your measurements and we'll help.
