How to Measure Your Pet (Harness, Crate, Cat Door)

Pet harnesses are returned more often than human clothes, same fit issue, smaller animal. iPhone makes the three critical measurements quick (when the pet cooperates).

لماذا تقيس هذا

• Harness fit (chest girth is the key number)
• Cat/dog door width
• Crate sizing for transport
• Custom bed dimensions

ما تحتاجه

• iPhone with Ruler AR
• Length mode (pet may not stand still, Touch mode helps)

خطوة بخطوة

1. Chest girth. Behind the front legs, around the widest part of the rib cage. Length mode: hold one finger at the start, tap on the phone at the wrap-around point.
2. Neck circumference. Around the base of the neck where a collar sits.
3. Body length. Base of neck (where collar sits) to base of tail. For harness back-piece sizing.
4. Door / opening width. For cat doors: shoulder width + 2-3 cm. For dog doors: chest girth ÷ π gives the diameter; add 5-10% safety.

نصائح

• Measure when the pet is relaxed/calm, stress measurements are misleading
• Long-haired breeds: measure under the fur to get the actual body dimension

أخطاء شائعة
