STEP BY STEP
We recommend measuring your dog's neck directly for the most accurate fit. A soft measuring tape works best. You can also use a piece of string and lay it flat against a ruler.
Place a soft measuring tape around your dog's neck where the collar will sit naturally.
Make sure you can comfortably fit two fingers between the tape and your dog's neck.
Note the measurement in inches. This number is what you'll use when selecting your collar size.
Wrap the tape around the middle of your dog's neck, not too high near the ears, not too low near the shoulders. This is where the collar will naturally rest during daily wear.
Pro tip
Measure while your dog is standing and relaxed. A sitting or excited dog can change the measurement by up to an inch.
If you'd like to measure from a collar your dog already wears, the method differs depending on the type. Here's how to measure each one correctly.
Measure from the end of one of the buckles to the end of the fabric/material. Do not include the buckle hardware on the opposite end.
Measure from the middle (bar) of the buckle to the most worn hole on the strap. This represents the actual fit your dog is used to.
These collars slip over your dog's head, so we need two measurements to ensure a safe, comfortable fit.
Neck size: Measured the same way as our regular collars. Wrap the tape where the collar sits, allowing two fingers of space.
Head size: Measure the widest part of your dog's head, typically just in front of the ears. Measure snug. We'll add 0.5" for comfort so the collar slips on easily.
