Measuring for a Well-Fitting Dog Collar:
*Please note: the total length of your existing collar is not the size to order. All collars are made differently, so measuring your dog's actual neck size is important and we will provide a collar to accommodate.
Using a soft measuring tape or something like a ribbon, sit your dog down and measure the base of its neck with one or two fingers underneath the tape. Note the measurement or mark the ribbon and then measure that. Generally speaking, to get the collar size from this measurement, add 2 inches for medium-sized dogs and 3 inches for large breeds (that weigh over 80 pounds). These additional inches ensure that the collar will not be too tight on your pet, which can cause pain or injury. |
