Sizing Guide
Collars
The easiest (and most reliable) way of choosing which size collar your dog needs is by measuring your dog's existing collar. Take whichever collar fits your dog best, lay it on a flat surface and measure the distance from the base of the buckle to the hole that you usually use.
If you don't have a collar with a buckle that fits well then you'll need to find a tape measure and keep your dog still! Wrap the tape measure snugly around your dog's neck where the collar would usually sit…make sure that you can slide a couple of fingers between the tape measure and his or her neck… Take the measurement.
If you don't have the dog within reach then you'll need to use the size by breed guide below but please bear in mind that, as with humans, there's a reasonable amount of collar size variation even within a breed!
Give us a ring if you have any problems - Collars can always be made to order.
Every one of our collars are handmade so measurements are subject to slight variations.
