Sizing -

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 – 8 to 9 inches
- Small dogs – 10-14 inches
- Small to medium dogs, 14 to16 in
- Medium Sized dogs, 16-18 in
- Large, 20-22 in
- Very Large Breeds, 22 to 24 inches

The common width for most collars is ½ of an inch to around 1 inch, but they can be customized, of course to be more or less.

A good example to help you figure out the scale of the chart, is to look at Jack Russels, as they most often fall into the small dog category, of about a 10-14 inch collar. Bigger dogs, like Labs, Retrievers, Dalmatians etc.. can have a varied collar size, because their neck sizes generally range anywhere from 14 to 20 inches, and likewise for large breed dogs; which is why you should always measure your dog’s neck circumference.
