But first, you need to measure your pet for the best dog Halloween costume:

Chest – Wrap a measuring tape along the dog’s chest at its widest point — measure all around his or her body.  If your dog has a large chest, go up at least one size for a comfortable and not-too snug fit.

Length -Measure along your pooch’s backbone from the base of the tail to the top of the neck.
