I am having a hard time finding a coat/sweater for my dog. She is a 110 boxer mastif mix who has a barrel chest that makes it very hard to find something that fits. I've tried a couple in xl and xxl and nothing fits around her chest or her collar to chest. Her measurements are neck 22, chest 38, collar to chest 14, length 28. Anyone know of any sites that cater to very large dog clothing, Mastiffs, Great Danes, Rotts, etc...

I wouldn't be asking if I had not tried all these places. (petco,petsmart, ebay) What these places have for a xxl is too small.

Coats for big dogs are very hard to find. I've got a ridgie X mastiff with a very thin, short coat who feels the cold badly. I couldn't find any shops either local or online who had anything big enough (XXL wouldn't even go around his neck, never mind his chest!) and so I had one made for him- the local saddlers did one very cheaply for me with offcuts from the horserugs they make.

i dont know why people have suggested labs and gsd they need a lot of exercise (ive owned them) great danes would be a good choice, they are gentle giants and have low energy moods inside the house ut i would have to say the best breed for you would probably be the mastiff. this dog is a couch potato! but you have to work with it and train it well and socialise it early. you will still have to walk this breed for at least 30mins a day just to get the exercise it needs as you do not want it to put on weight. both have coats that are more easier to care for than the swissy as that breed has a feathered coat.

petedge sells them in this size. the reason why you might be having so much trouble is because dogs of this size usually do not need clothing to keep them warm. but a boxer mix i could see in the dead of winter needing some extra protection during a long walk. you could also try an actual human sweater and will need to place a dart on the back of the sweater to get it to fit right.

There aren't many places that have large enough sizes for deep chested dogs. I made my own dog coat, but many Great Dane owners use foal coats. You can find them at any tack shop or farm supply store.

Unless it's really cold i don't even suggest putting clothing on a dog. But if it is I suggest PETSMART.COM
