How to fit a dog collar

First up you'll need either a soft measuring tape or a ruler and string

OR

ruler and string

 

Now you have the tools for the job, on to measuring.

  • When measuring for either a dog collar, you are looking to measure the upper neck (A) where the neck naturally tapers, as this is where the collar should fit.

  • Below we provide an indication of size by breed, but please do not take it as correct for all breeds. Dogs come in all shapes and sizes, the weight provided is just a guide and to highlight the strength test limits for our collar. 

  • Two finger rule, it is a good method to leave some space around the neck when fitting the collar. This will make sure the collar is comfortable and can be adjusted, plus allow it to rotate around the neck when attached to a lead.

  • If your pet is between sizes, select the next size up.
