When I first got Meecho she needed an xx-small but she out grew that in what felt like a week, but now she wears anywhere from a x-small to a small. Here is a website that is pretty good as they show not only the sizes based on length but also give comparison's by other animals. http://superstarpetlovers.com/
Here is a screen shot of what they have. Keep in mind that each make and brand will fit differently just like our clothing does.
Size Fits Length Fits Necks Fits Chests
XX-Small 6" 8"-10" 8"-10"
X-Small 8" 10"-12" 10"-14"
Small 12" 12"-16" 14"-18"
Medium 16" 16"-20" 18"-22"
Large 20" 18"-22" 22"-26"
Sizing GuideSee below for estimating by breed)
Back: Measure length of pet’s back from the base of the neck to the base of the tail. See below for estimating by breed.
Neck: Measure the circumference of pet’s neck for a snug fit. No need to add inches as you would with a collar.
Chest/Girth: Measure girth around the broadest part of the chest and add 2”.
Note: If the dog has a stout build, select one size larger.

Kallie, thanks much for this sizing chart...this will be very helpful to a lot of us!
Piglet is about 7 or 8 lbs according to my vet (she's pretty darn tiny, so she's a lot heavier than she looks!) and usually wears a size XS or S. I agree with Kallie that the sizes can vary depending on the manufacturer (just like with women's clothing!). I've had to go up as high as a size M or as small as XXS for Piglet depending on the pet clothing brand!
It's funny because when I order Meecho's clothes online it's usually the small that fits her. When I buy at Wal-Mart I have to get her an xxs and when I buy this one brand from Ross I have to get a Medium Boy I wish my problem was a size between a xxs and a medium. :Laugh:
They sell cat clothes at Wal-Mart? I've never seen any there before. I'll have to look next time I'm there. Do the cats really need the clothes or is it more about us playing dress up with them?
I never put clothes on them in the summer.
