THE STANDARD FIT
The standard fit has the tail-up dog in mind. As a standard, the back length is made so that it touches the base of the tail. The chest and neck are made to fit snuggly, yet with enough ease to allow your pooch to run comfortably when dressed in Happy Pooch apparel.

Snap for hoodies
For a fee that covers the extra materials and time needed, a little cork leather patch can be added to the back of your dog’s hoodie, as well as another snap to the back. This way the hoodie can be secured in placed so that the hoodie won’t accidentally cover your dog’s head while strutting around.
RECOMMENDATIONS
If your dog is an escape artist, consider choosing shorter sleeves. Or request having a sweater made as a sleeveless version instead. Escape artists or dogs with very short legs tend to get their legs stuck inside clothing. May also be a good idea if your dog will be dressed in the sweater/onesie when sleeping, as they tend to curl up, ending up with a leg inside a sleeve.

The measurements of the items may not match your expectations. Tanks backs are sewn longer than raglan sweaters as they fit further up the neck.
TAIL-UP
The back touches the base of the dog’s tail but does not cover it.
TAIL-DOWN
Fitted over the base of the tail. Preffered fit for dogs who generally walk with their tails down.
