Size guide
Every dog is unique (and dachshunds even more so 🌭). Measure your dog in 1 minute and choose their size with confidence.
How to measure your dog
- Back length: from the base of the neck (where the collar sits) to the base of the tail.
- Chest: around the widest part of the chest, just behind the front legs.
- Neck: around the neck where the collar usually sits, leaving room for two fingers.
Use a soft sewing tape measure with your dog standing. No tape? Use a piece of string and then measure it with a ruler.

Tips from Lolo & Lola 🐾
- If your dog is between two sizes, choose the larger one.
- Dachshunds have long backs and deep chests: go mainly by the chest and make sure the back isn't too short.
- For very fluffy dogs, add 1–2 cm (0.5 in) to the chest.
