Measuring a dog’s neck to fit a collar properly is an important step in ensuring comfort and safety. Follow our step-by-step guide below:
- Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string or ribbon that can be measured with a ruler.
- Place the measuring tape around your dog’s neck, where the collar usually sits. Make sure the tape is snug but not too tight. If you’re using a string or ribbon, wrap it around the neck and mark the point where the ends meet. To ensure the collar fits comfortably, it’s recommended to add a finger or two underneath the measuring tool.
- Take note of the measurement on the measuring tape or, if using a string or ribbon, measure the marked length against a ruler. This measurement represents the circumference of your dog’s neck.
- Once you have the final measurement, consult the appropriate sizing guide provided below.
