Measuring for a ruff wear harness

I need some help measuring for a ruff wear harness . I find the illustration about measuring a little unclear. Do I measure under the rib cage up to the top of her back?? Behind her front legs or leg in my case?? Just want to be sure to measure correctly. Thanks in advance

Hi Jennifer, thanks for asking! measure the thickest part around the rib cage, behind the elbows. If the girth falls in between sizes, Ruff wear recommends going with the smaller size. Hope this help.
