Here are some tips and advice on finding the best personalized dog collar…..

Personalized Dog Collar -

You can easily have any collar you wish to be designed manufactured by dog collar companies these days, as personalized collars have become a leading demand in the pet industry. The collars can easily reflect your personality or your dog’s as they come in so many makes and styles which you can easily adapt your personal touch to by having the manufacturing company add things like rhinestones, spikes, name branding and other great touches.

Standing out from the crowd -

If you want your pet to stand out, you can easily have your collar made to include unique materials like leather, suede, vinyl and many precious metals such as platinum, silver, or gold. Rhinestone Dog Collar are quickly becoming a popular and unique addition to personalized dog collars.

Gemstones such as zircons, rubies, crystals, and even diamonds are often used to create gorgeous and very original patterns and designs on the collars.

The most common and popular use of gemstones on collars, is crystals placed to spell out your pet’s name onto the collar, and also to add unique patterns, if desired. Unique collars are great, because they are still a collar, which means they will function like any other collar, except they make your dog special and stand out, which can also help if your dog were ever to be lost.

Sizes -

Since there are many breeds and types of dogs, it is extremely important that you always measure your dog first, before getting a personalized dog collar, so that you do not get the wrong size.

Dog’s collars are measured in inches, and most often the bigger the dog, the larger their collar, however this is not always the case, but keep the following chart in mind:

- “Toy sized dogs”, 8-9in
- small sized dogs, 10-14 inches
- Small/Medium dogs, 14-16in
- Medium- 16-18 inches
- Large- 20-22 inches
- Very large dogs- 22-24 inches

The width of a dog collar is most often ½-1 inch, so you do not have to worry about finding a measurement for this, unless you prefer to have a collar which is wider, then you can just ask for the collar to be customized to suit your preference.

Jack Russels, Shelties and other similar sized dogs most often fall into the “small dog” category, as most have a neck circumference of about 10-14 in; which should help you to scale where your dog fits into the chart. Dogs such as labs and retrievers can fall anywhere between 14-20inches which means they could have a small collar, or a large collar depending on their neck circumference, and this is why you should always measure your dog’s size to make sure that his/her collar can fit adequately.
