There is only 1 size of Balaïtous, but 4 sizes of leather
To find the right leather size for your pet, do the following in order
.
Cut out a piece of cardboard in the shape of a trapezium, to fit the dimensions of the Balaïtous
.
Fold the cardboard over the animal, as if it were a blanket. Position just behind the shoulder. The shoulder is the bone under St Andrew’s cross, on either side of the spine.
.
Mark the corners of the stick (where the straps will hang) with the letters A-B-C-D
.
Using a flexible tape measure, measure the A-B dimension by passing in front of the animal’s neck (for the front strap, known as the ‘breast collar’).
.
Using a flexible tape measure, measure the C-D dimension by passing behind the animal’s buttocks (for the rear strap, known as the ‘breeching’).
.
Mark the letters E-F in the centre of the stick. Using a flexible tape measure, measure the dimension E-F passing under the belly (for the strap under the belly, known as the ‘belly belt’).
Based on these measurements, use the table below to find the leather size (XS, S, M or L) that’s right for your animal.
