COLLARS

Measure around the neck close to the shoulder and allow room for a comfortable fit. As a good rule, you should be able to fit a finger comfortably under the collar. If your dogs measurements are near or in between two different sized collars, order the next size up to allow for growth and/or a comfortable fit.

Collars are sized in inches from the 1st to the last hole, unless otherwise stated. Collars are sized differently depending on the designer. A size small in one may be a medium in another. Always see the product detail for the exact collar sizing.

Below is a guide to what breeds may suit certain collar sizes:

6 - 8 inch would typically suit any teeny breeds ie Chihuahua puppy, Miniature Yorkshire

8 – 11 inch would typically suit a Chihuahua, Standard Yorkshire Terrier, Bichon Frise, Papillion, Miniature Dachshund
