I cannot stress just how important it is that you take your time when measuring your dog for coats or pyjamas - I rely entirely on your measurements, so if there is anything I should know about your dog, please make sure you include this information.

taking the measurements:

Please use a dressmakers flexible tape measure and make sure that the measurements you give me are exact. I will then make the allowances needed for a good look and a comfortable fit.

Remember that all of my products are made to your specific requirements using your colour choices and your measurements, so I am unable to accept returns unless the fault lies with AK Creations.

what measurements to take:

For all styles of coat, including the housecoat, I need three measurements from you - the LENGTH, CHEST and WAIST. For the 4 leg pyjamas, I need all four measurements, the LENGTH, CHEST, WAIST and HEIGHT.

important information regarding sizing:

Generally, back measurements up to 25" come under whippet size (unless there is a much larger chest measurement) and anything over comes under greyhound size. It is important that you let me know if your order is for a lurcher as the proportions may be different - for example, a lurcher may have a back length that comes within the whippet size range, but a chest measurement that will push it into the greyhound size bracket.

Please e-mail me if you are unsure or if your sizes are borderline so that I can advise you.

submitting your measurements:

When you go through the Paypal™ checkout, you should see a message saying "Click here to add your measurements". If you click on this prompt, a box will appear where you can type in the measurements you have taken. If you miss this box, don't worry - just send me an e-mail with your measurements and I will put them with your order and let you know that I have done so.
