Premium Quality Padded “Classic Comfort” Nylon Dog Collar comes in 4 sizes for the perfect fit for most (but not all) dogs. For the right fit, see below:
1 Measure your dog’s neck size with a cloth measuring tape. If you do not have this type of measuring tape, wrap a string around his neck and cut it to his neck size. Lay the piece of string next to a yardstick, ruler or metal measuring tape and record the neck size.
2 Add 1 inch to your furry friend’s neck size if he is a small breed, 2 inches for a medium-sized dog and 3 inches for large-breed dogs that are over 70 pounds. The measurement plus the additional inch or inches is his collar size.
3 Measure a long-haired dog that receives haircuts right after a trip to the groomer with his hair short. Re-measure your dog when his hair is longer just before another haircut. This will give you a range in his neck size to accommodate both long and short hair. Choose a dog collar that is adjustable to fit both neck sizes.
4 Determine the collar’s width you need by the size of your dog and his strength. Toy and small breeds do not pull as hard as larger breeds and only require a thin collar. Large breeds with a lot of power need a thicker collar to hold up under their stress.
5 When trying on your dog’s new collar you should be able place one finger between the collar and his neck for small breeds and for medium breeds and two fingers for large breeds.
