Tips for Measuring Your Pet 🐕📐
If you've ever tried holding a measuring tape next to a dog who suddenly decides standing still is impossible...this one's for you. 😂
Getting accurate measurements doesn't have to be a wrestling match! Try these tips:
🐾 Have your pet stand naturally on a flat, level surface. Don't measure while they're sitting or lying down.
👥 Grab a helper! One person can keep your pet standing naturally and looking forward while the other takes the measurements.
🥜 Bring out the treats! A favorite treat can help keep your pet standing still and focused—and a spoonful of peanut butter can do wonders!
✏️ Too squirmy for the measuring tape? Stand your pet next to a wall and use a pencil to lightly mark the measurement points on the wall. Once your pet moves away, you can measure between the marks without trying to juggle your pet AND a measuring tape!
👂 Pay special attention to ear position when measuring height. If your pet's ears naturally stand erect, measure to the tips of the ears.
📏 And most importantly—measure more than once! If you get different numbers, measure again before submitting your final measurements.
