When choosing dog clothes for a Toy Poodle,
"What size would a 3kg Toy Poodle be?"
"Should I choose S or M?"
"Even though they're both Toy Poodles, their usual size doesn't fit."
Do you ever find yourself wondering about that?
Toy poodles are a breed that often enjoys wearing dog clothes, but there are actually some points to keep in mind when choosing the right size.
Because even though they are both "Toy Poodles" and "3kg",
• A child with a well-developed chest area
- A child with a long torso
・Skinny child
• Children with a lot of hair
- A dog that has had its fur trimmed short.
This is because there are considerable individual differences in body shape and hair volume.
Therefore,
"It's a toy poodle, that's why it's this size."
"It's 3kg, so it's size S."
It's important to check your dog's size rather than deciding based solely on weight or breed.
In this article, the dog clothing brand CanNana will clearly explain how to choose the size of dog clothes for Toy Poodles.
What size dog clothes do Toy Poodles wear?
CanNana's clothing sizes are primarily used as a guideline for toy poodles.
・S
・S+M
・M
This setting is enabled.
The basic size chart for CanNana is as follows:
| size | neck | girth | Length | Target weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 24cm | 36cm | 25cm | Around 2-3 kg |
| S+M | 26cm | 39.5cm | 26.5cm | Around 2-3 kg |
| M | 28cm | 43cm | 28cm | Approximately 3-5 kg |
The size chart of CanNana is a guideline for the finished dimensions of the wear. There may be a sewing error of about 1 to 2 cm. Additionally, the weight is just a reference.
What's particularly important here is,
"Weight does not equal size."
That's the point.
Toy poodles' clothing sizes aren't determined solely by weight.
For example, even with the same 3kg Toy Poodle,
A-chan
Waist circumference 34cm, slender build
B-chan
Chest circumference 39cm, broad chest
Therefore, the same size may not necessarily fit.
Furthermore, the fit of the garment can vary depending on the amount of fur a toy poodle has.
CanNana's official size chart advises measuring the neck circumference, waist circumference, and length, as there are individual differences in hair volume and bone structure even with the same weight.
When choosing dog clothes,
Weight is "the initial guideline"
Considering this,
eventually,
Neck circumference + Chest circumference + Back length
It is recommended to make your decision based on that.
Three things to check when choosing clothes for your Toy Poodle
1. Neck circumference
Measure around the base of your neck.
Since many dog clothes for Toy Poodles are the type that are pulled over the head, make sure the neck circumference isn't too small.
2. Waist circumference
Measure around the widest part of the torso.
This is a point you should definitely check, as it greatly affects how well the dog clothes fit.
In the case of a well-built toy poodle, even if the weight is light, it may require a size larger when adjusted for the body circumference.
3. Length
Measure from the base of the neck to just before the tail.
Some Toy Poodles have a longer body compared to their weight and girth.
Therefore,
"The waist is size S, but the length is S+M."
That can also happen.
What size dog clothes would you need for a Toy Poodle weighing around 2kg?
For small Toy Poodles weighing around 2kg, CanNana's S size would be a suitable option.
however,
"It's 2kg, so it must be size S."
No, that's not correct.
The fit will vary depending on whether the dog is very small, has a slender build, or conversely, has a lot of fur.
first,
・Neck circumference
·girth
・ Length
Please check the size chart before proceeding.
Toy poodles weighing around 3kg are especially difficult to choose because of their size.
Toy poodles weighing around 3kg are
"Is it S, S+M, or M?"
This is a zone where it's easy to get lost.
In CanNana's size chart,
S: 2-3 kg (approximately)
S+M: 2-3 kg before and after
M: 3-5 kg
This serves as a guideline.
In other words,
A weight of 3kg alone is not enough to determine a single size.
That's the point.
for example,
Slender with a short torso
→ S is a candidate
Size S is a little too small, but Size M is too big.
→ S+M is a candidate.
He has a broad chest.
→ M is a candidate
As you can see, it varies depending on your body type.
Especially for dogs weighing around 3kg, be sure to actually measure their girth to check.
What size is "S+M" in CanNana?
CanNana comes in a size called "S+M".
The S size is a little too small.
But the M size is a little too big.
This is an intermediate size that is easy to accommodate for dogs of that size range.
In CanNana's standard size,
S
Chest circumference 36cm, back length 25cm
S+M
Chest circumference 39.5cm, back length 26.5cm
M
Chest circumference 43cm, back length 28cm
That's how it is.
Toy poodles, in particular, have a wide range of individual differences in body shape.
"Somewhere between S and M"
For children like that, please also check out S+M.
What size dog clothes would you need for a Toy Poodle weighing around 4kg?
For toy poodles weighing around 4kg, a medium size is often the most suitable option.
CanNana uses a weight guideline of approximately 3-5 kg for size M.
However, even at 4kg,
・Slim
- Long torso
- Thick chest
• A lot of hair
Body types vary widely.
When choosing, be sure to check the chest circumference and length.
What size dog clothes would you need for a Toy Poodle weighing around 5kg?
Even for babies weighing around 5kg, CanNana's M size is a good guideline.
However, when they reach around 5kg, many of them have a solid bone structure and chest area.
"My weight is within the M size range, but the waist size doesn't fit."
That can also happen.
Not a size chart,
Consider the actual size of your dog.
That is important.
For Toy Poodles, "coat volume" also influences size selection.
One of the defining features of the Toy Poodle is the volume of its fur.
Even with the same dog,
Immediately after trimming
and
The hair has grown out some time after trimming.
This can change how well the dog clothes fit.
especially,
• A soft and fluffy style
- Leave the hair long.
• I have a lot of hair in winter.
In some cases, dog clothes that are too tight can compress the fur.
Conversely, dog clothes may feel a little looser right after grooming.
In the case of a Toy Poodle,
Body size + hair volume
Let's be mindful of that.
What if the waist fits, but the length is too short?
In the case of Toy Poodles,
"If you choose a size that fits your waist, the length is a little short."
There are also cases like that.
in this case,
If you choose one size larger to match the length,
- The waist becomes too loose.
- Shoulder slips
- The front legs become easier to slip out of.
These are some examples.
If the length is only slightly short, you don't necessarily need to size up.
In CanNanaTulle frill skirtIt is also available for sale, and by layering it with tops or dog clothes, you can cover and adjust the length while showing frills from the hem.
for example,
"Size S fits perfectly around the waist, but the length is a little short."
If it's a toy poodle like that,
Size S + Tulle Frill Skirt
This kind of outfit is also one option.
Instead of forcibly increasing the size,
Choose a size that fits your body, and adjust the length with your outfit.
That's the idea.
If you're undecided between S and S+M, or S+M and M, what should you choose?
In Toy Poodles, it's not uncommon for them to be at the boundary between two sizes.
In such cases,
① Neck circumference
↓
② Waist circumference
↓
③ Length
The basic idea of CanNana is to check in the order of. The official size chart also guides this order as the priority for choosing sizes.
moreover,
- Does the fabric stretch?
Do you have a lot of hair?
With sleeves or without sleeves?
Is it a pullover type?
Dress or top
I will also check that.
Even within the same CanNana brand, the fit can vary depending on the product.
"I wore S+M last time, so I'll wear S+M again this time."
It might seem that way, but they aren't necessarily the same.
Dog clothes vary depending on the product.
• Fabric stretchability
Thickness
• Sleeve shape
• First
·silhouette
·design
Because they are different.
Even with the same size indication, the fit may vary depending on the product.
When buying new dog clothes, be sure to check the size information, material, and stretchability of the product.
Frequently Asked Questions about Toy Poodle Clothing Sizes
Q. What size is a 3kg Toy Poodle?
In CanNana, options include S, S+M, and M.
However, a weight of 3kg alone is not enough to make a judgment.
Please measure the neck circumference, chest circumference, and length, and compare them to the size chart for that product.
Q. Is a medium size okay for a Toy Poodle?
It is not recommended to determine the size of your dog based solely on breed.
Even among Toy Poodles, there's a wide range of sizes, from small ones weighing around 2kg to larger, more robust ones weighing around 5kg.
Check your dog's size.
Q. Is it better to get a larger Toy Poodle if it has a lot of fur?
Larger isn't always better.
We consider not only the amount of fur, but also the circumference of the body, the elasticity of the fabric, and the design of the dog clothes when making our decision.
Q. Which do you prioritize: waist size or length?
At CanNana, we recommend prioritizing the basic size selection as follows: "neck circumference → chest circumference → length".
If the length is only slightly short, you can adjust the length by using a tulle ruffle skirt or something similar.
Q. Does the size change before and after trimming?
The body of your dog itself doesn't change suddenly, but the fit and appearance of dog clothes can vary depending on the amount of fur.
Be especially careful with Toy Poodles that have longer fur.
Q. I just can't decide between S and S+M, etc.
CanNana offers a "Home Try-On Service" that allows you to try on two sizes of the selected clothing at home.
This is a system where you purchase two items in different sizes that you are unsure about, and try them on at home. You can return the size that does not fit within the specified method and timeframe. There are usage conditions, so please check the service page for details.

Let's check.
Especially for toy poodles weighing around 3kg, multiple sizes such as S, S+M, and M may be available as options.
That's why,
"It's this size because it weighs 3kg."
Instead,
"What size would be best for my child's build?"
This way of thinking is important.
It's the perfect size for my child, and makes them even cuter.
The Toy Poodle is a breed that can change its atmosphere depending on the cut style, allowing for various dog clothing combinations to enjoy.
That's why,
It's not just a size that can be worn,
A size that fits your dog's body and allows you to enjoy the inherent cuteness of the dog clothes.
I'd like to choose that for them.
Before choosing dog clothes from CanNana, first measure your dog's neck circumference, chest circumference, and back length.
When you're unsure about the size, be sure to check not only your dog's weight but also their body shape, coat thickness, and the product's elasticity.
