How to measure your dog
- Back length: from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. The most important measurement.
- Chest: the widest part, just behind the front legs.
- Neck: where the collar usually sits.
If your dog is between two sizes, go for the larger one. A tight pyjama is uncomfortable and your dog won't want to wear it.

Let your dog get used to the pyjama a few days before the photo, five minutes at a time, with a treat in between. Take it off if they seem uncomfortable or too warm.
For long-haired dogs, a jumper without legs is better. For small, short-haired dogs, a full pyjama genuinely helps keep them warm on winter nights.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know my dog's pyjama size?
Measure back length, from the base of the neck to the tail, and chest. Compare with the retailer's chart and, if in doubt, size up.
Do dogs like wearing pyjamas?
It depends on the dog. Introduce it slowly with treats. If they scratch a lot or try to take it off, a jumper or bandana is a better option.
Are there dog pyjamas that match the family?
Yes, especially in tartan and reindeer prints. Look for sets that include adult, child and dog sizes in the same print.
