Calming Nest Sweater FAQ

Choosing the right Calming Nest Sweater requires considering two different fits: the sweater's fit on you and the pouch's fit for your dog. Both should be comfortable before using the sweater. Choosing Your Sweater Size. The Calming Nest Sweater is a

Choosing the right Calming Nest Sweater requires considering two different fits: the sweater&apos;s fit on you and the pouch&apos;s fit for your dog.Both should be comfortable before using the sweater. Choosing Your Sweater SizeThe Calming Nest Sweater is available in:<ul><li>Small</li><li>Medium</li><li>Large</li></ul>We recommend using the garment measurements in our size chart rather than choosing based only on the size letter. For the most accurate fit, take a hoodie or sweater you already own that fits the way you like and compare its measurements with our size chart. What If I&apos;m Between Sweater Sizes?If you&apos;re between sizes, consider how you prefer your sweaters to fit.Remember that you&apos;ll also have your dog resting inside the front pouch, so you don&apos;t want the sweater to feel excessively tight when the pouch is being used. Will My Dog Fit in the Pouch?The Calming Nest Sweater is designed specifically for small dogs.Dog weight is a helpful starting point, but it should not be the only factor used to determine fit.Dogs with the same weight can have very different body shapes. A long, low dog may fit differently than a shorter, more compact dog of the same weight.Always compare your dog&apos;s body size with the pouch measurements provided in the product size guide. How Should My Dog Fit?Your dog should be able to:<ul><li>Settle naturally into the pouch</li><li>Breathe comfortably</li><li>Reposition themselves</li><li>Keep their head comfortably outside the pouch</li><li>Exit when they want to</li><li>The pouch should feel cozy without restricting your dog&apos;s movement.</li></ul> Should I Size Up for My Dog?Do not automatically choose a larger sweater solely because of your dog&apos;s size.The sweater also needs to fit you correctly.Instead, check both the owner measurements and pouch measurements before choosing your size. Can Larger Dogs Use the Calming Nest Sweater?The pouch is intended for small dogs.If your dog exceeds the recommended pouch sizing or cannot comfortably settle, reposition, and exit, we do not recommend using the pouch.Never force your dog into the pouch or use it if your dog appears uncomfortable. Still Not Sure?When deciding on a size, check:<ul><li>Your fit: Compare the garment measurements with a sweater or hoodie you already own.</li><li>Your dog&apos;s fit: Compare your dog&apos;s size and body shape with the pouch measurements.</li><li>Both you and your dog should have a comfortable fit before using the Calming Nest Sweater.</li></ul> <img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/g5KDM280nV29aByw/hc/bVpA37lWW92J5oEd/2026100721-5359839e-62fc-4146-b65d-3d0d4a074af4-pelsbarn_calming_nest_sweater_pdp_shai_bc982478-2435-4d01-b841-0b723fe60f5b.png" style="width: 698px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib">
