Numpty quesion!! Measurements for dog coat - how???

[Taffyhorse]

Hmm, following all the rain we've had/having, I've decided to get the mutt a waterproof coat.

Found one I really like (danish design with zipout fleece which fits the bill) but the measurements are in inches and I am not sure how to measure the dog!!

Does it go from shoulder to tail or from chest to tail??? Am used to measuring the horse but not the dog!!

All help gratefully received!!

you measure along the spine from nape of neck to base of tail.x

Thanks Archiepoo. All I have to do is find the tape measure...

Also make sure dog is standing while being measured.
