How do I fit my dog for a collar?
We use true neck size to determine collar size. When ordering a collar,
choose the size that includes your dog's neck size. For example, if your dog has a 17" neck,
order a size 16"-18".
Measurement Instructions:
- A measurement made in the middle of the neck, with the tape neither taut nor slack, will result in a true neck measurement.
- If the dog cannot breathe and is turning red like a cherry tomato, chances are you are measuring too high on the neck, and too snugly. This can throw off the measurement in the "too small" direction
- Do not think you are doing your dog any favors by allowing for two fingers "breathing room", or measuring just above the shoulder blades. This is simply a recipe for slipping the collar in a time of crisis.
