Sizes -

Since dogs come in all different sizes, it would be quite obvious that you can find a personalized dog collar sized to fit your dog as well.

Some common sizes range from the following:

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

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.
