How to measure Dog Collars

SIZING GUIDE

Because each collar is custom made, we size it according to the exact measurement you provide.

For the most accurate fit, measure your dog’s neck — not an old collar.

Old collars can stretch, shrink, or measure differently depending on buckle type and construction. Use them only as a reference, not as your primary measurement.

 

How To Measure

Use a soft measuring tape and measure around your dog’s neck where the collar naturally sits.

The tape should be snug, not tight.

You should be able to comfortably slide two fingers between the tape and your dog’s neck.

This measurement is what you will enter when ordering.

Preferred Fit

Because each collar is custom, you can size according to how your dog wears their collar.

For example:

  • If your dog wears the collar higher and snug, measure that position.

  • If your dog prefers a slightly looser fit, measure accordingly.

We build to the measurement you provide.

Measuring an Old Collar (Optional)

If you want to double-check using an existing collar:

Lay it flat and measure from the buckle’s inside edge to the hole currently in use.

Do not measure end to end.

This measurement should closely match your dog’s neck measurement.

 

Important

If you are unsure, measure again.

Accuracy ensures the best fit.
