Sizing Guides

Please measure your dog’s neck and add 1" for the proper collar size. There should be enough room between your pup's neck and the collar to slip two fingers between them comfortably. This ensures that the collar isn't too tight. For example, if your dog's neck measures 15", please add 1" for proper fitting, therefore selecting a size large collar (15"-18"). 

*We recommend choosing a size where your measurement is closest to the middle of the sizing range so you have room to adjust up and down. 

3 WAYS TO MEASURE YOUR DOG'S NECK SIZE

1. Measure your dog's neck with a flexible sewing tape.

2. Wrap a string around your dog's neck. Mark the string and then measure the length of it with a ruler or tape measure.

3. Remove your dog's current collar and stretch it out flat. Then measure from the centre of the buckle to the current sizing hole or adjustment being used.

ARE YOU IN BETWEEN SIZES? 

If your dog is full grown and their measurement is in between the sizes listed, pick the smaller of the two sizes. This avoids extra material hanging off the end of the collar. If your pup is still growing, go with the larger option.

HOW DO I MEASURE FOR MARTINGALE, SLIP & ID COLLARS? 

Please measure the widest part of your dog's head, the green line in the diagram below, AND your pup's neck size, the pink line. Please add 1" to your measurements to ensure the collar isn't too tight. Kindly refer to the instructions above on ways to measure. It is important to accurately measure the widest part of your pup's head as the collar must be able to slip over their head and onto their neck.
