DogSnoods.com

Our snood sizes and recommendations are based on the AKC breed standards of dogs. Because not every dog is purebred or conforms to its breed standard, it is imperative that you measure as shown. We offer four (4) popular sizes.

Measure the dog's head directly in front of the ears as shown (left). This tells us what size opening is required.

Also measure the length of the throat of the dog. Begin at the top of the neck with the skin pulled taught and measure to the base of the throat (the area shown in yellow here). For breeds such as Cavaliers this will help us ensure that the snood will not be too long and drape over the dog’s eyes when he or she puts their head down. For most breeds our sizes do not need to be adjusted, but we do not refund or accept returns for sizing errors if this information is not provided along with the other required information on our ordering page.
