A size chart tells you back length. It does not tell you whether the dog has a deep chest, short legs or a narrow waist — and that is precisely where most dog clothing fails. Janutex overalls and coats therefore come in separate cuts for different builds, within the same size.

Why male and female are different cuts

This is the detail most owners only notice after their first soaked overall. A male needs more room and a shorter line under the belly so the garment does not get wet at every stop. A female can take a longer, more protective belly line. Most Janutex overalls therefore come in separate cuts for each — not merely as a colour option.

Breed-specific guides

We have written separate guides for the breeds that raise the most sizing questions: dachshund, poodle, sighthounds, French bulldog, cocker spaniel, chihuahua, Yorkshire terrier, hairless breeds and small dogs generally.

If your dog fits none of the cuts

For mixed breeds and unusual proportions a stock cut is not always enough. We also make to measure — book a fitting or get in touch and we will go through the measurements with you. Start with the measuring guide even so: most of the time a stock cut does fit, once the measurements are taken properly.
