Sizing Information

What size collar will fit my dog?

We offer a large range of sizes, and all of our collars are adjustable so you can easily get the right fit for your dog. So how do you determine which size is best for your dog?

The best way is to measure.

A tape measure is the best tool for the job, but if you don't have one of those you can easily use a ribbon, string or strip of paper and a straight ruler.

For buckle collars, put the tape around the middle of your dog's neck (about halfway between the jawbone and the collar bone), don't worry about adding in extra slack for comfort - since all of our collars are adjustable, you will have room to make the collar larger. Choose a size that gives you some room to either make the collar a little larger, or a little smaller (for example a dog with a 12" neck would be best in a small (10"-15") rather than a medium (12"-19")).

For martingale collars, measure around the top of the neck - right behind your dog's ears. If your dog has a particularly large head, keep this in mind when you choose your size - martingales must be slid over the dog's head to get them on or off.

Since we make everything to order, we can also accommodate requests for special sizes - just enter your dog's neck measurement in the additional information space when you order your collar, and we will design a size specifically for your dog!

What width collar is right for my dog?

We offer a large range of collar widths, so how do you determine the best width for your dog?

The best way is to measure.

Cut a strip of paper in the width(s) that you are considering, and put it around your dog's neck - it should rest comfortably in the space between his jawbone and collar bone. If it looks thin and flimsy, then you need to go wider. If it looks like a turtleneck or neck brace, then it's too wide.

On each of our product screens, there is a space to enter additional information. If you are unsure about the width you have chosen, include your dog's primary breed and approximate weight here, and we can help you determine the best width.
