Haustier ausmessen (Geschirr, Box, Katzentür)

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).

Warum messen

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

Was du brauchst

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

Schritt für Schritt

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.

Tipps

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

Häufige Fehler

• Using the size charts without measuring, breeds vary wildly within "small/medium/large"
• Forgetting to measure when wearing a winter coat or vest
