Accurate measurement is key to ensuring a perfect fit for your dog’s new non-adjustable collar. By following these simple steps, you can measure your current quick release collar and ensure the best fit for your new gear.
Tools You’ll Need:
- Measuring Tape: Choose a reliable measuring tool that provides precise measurements.
- Pen and Paper: Keep these handy to jot down your measurements.
- Flat Table: A stable, flat surface to lay out your collar for accurate measurement.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Workspace:
– Find a flat, stable table to work on. This ensures your collar lays flat, preventing any measurement errors.
2. Position the Collar:
– Lay your current quick release collar flat on the table. Make sure the collar is fully extended without any twists or curves.
3. Identify the Measurement Points:
– Locate the female side of the buckle. This is where you will start your measurement.
– Identify the male side of the buckle. This is where your measurement will end.
4. Take the Measurement:
– Using your ruler or measuring tape, measure the distance starting from the beginning of the female side and stop at the base of the male side. (Refer to photo gallery below)
– Ensure the measuring tape is aligned properly with the collar to avoid any slack or discrepancies.
5. Record and send a photo of your measurement :
– Write down the exact measurement. This is the starting point for determining the size of your collar. Please send a photo of your measurement to us so we can verify it on our end. Photos can be sent to gear@mysticaltails.com.
6. Check for Buckle Variations:
– Keep in mind that the start and stop points can vary depending on the buckle type. Always ensure you are measuring from the correct starting and stopping points specific to your buckle style.
7. Consider In-Between Sizes:
– If you find yourself wishing there was an in-between size, measure the distance to that point as well.
By following these steps, you’ll be well-equipped to find the perfect fit for your dog’s new non-adjustable collar. Accurate measurements lead to better comfort and security for your furry friend!
Important Tips:
– Check Regularly: Dogs can gain or lose weight, so it’s essential to check the fit of their collar regularly.
– Safety First: Ensure the collar is not too loose to prevent it from slipping off, but also not too tight to cause discomfort or injury.
