Personalized Dog Collar -

These days there are plenty of manufacturers who are providing collars which are exclusive, and they also have custom designed collars to suit your needs. These also make good gifts, as you can get them designed to suit and reflect the personality and likes of the canine owner.

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

Most commonly, crystals have been used to spell the pet’s name, and they make the collar look more appealing in general. Collars that are designed for your dog are good, because they are easily functional as a collar, and at the same time, they add beauty and charm to your dog’s collar.

Measuring your dog’s collar -

It’s very important that you have the proper measurement for your dog’s collar, as not all charts and general sizes (small, medium, large etc…) will fit your dog, since the collars are customized in the first place.

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:

- Tiny dogs (ex. teacup), 8-9 inches
- small dogs, 10 to 14 in
- Small/Medium dogs, 14-16in
- Medium Sized dogs, 16-18 in
- Large- 20-22 inches
- Very large dogs- 22-24 inches

Most collars have a width of about ½ an inch to about 1 inch, and to scale things..

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.
