Choosing the Right Collar:

How to measure a dogs neck for a new dog collar

Start by measuring your dog's neck accurately. Use a soft measuring tape to measure the circumference of your dog's neck where the collar will sit. Ensure you can fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck to prevent it from being too tight. Check out our Measuring Guide
