Tip
When removing the sweatshirt, take it over your dog's head first and over his legs last. The neck hole will probably fit if you use a sweatshirt approximately the size of the dog.
Step 1
Make sure the old sweatshirt will fit your dog.
Step 2
Measure your dog from the base of the neck to midway to his tail.
