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

Personalized Dog Collar -

Depending on the kind of dog you have, you can get all kinds of custom designed collars in all makes of collars, including regular snap on collars, leather, and martingales. These also make good gifts, as you can get them designed to suit and reflect the personality and likes of the canine owner.

Kinds of collars -

There are many kinds of accessories and kinds of collars which you can choose from that can accent your dog’s features, including materials like vinyl, suede, leather and even precious metals such as silver, platinum or gold can be added for a great finishing touch. You can easily have your collar customized to be decorated with many semi precious and precious stones and decorated beads.

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.

Measuring your dog’s collar -

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.

Some common sizes range from the following:

- Tiny dogs (ex. teacup), 8-9 inches
- small sized dogs, 10-14 inches
- Small/Medium dogs, 14-16in
- Medium Sized dogs, 16-18 in
- Larger dogs, 20 to 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.
