When choosing a collar size:
- Measure your dog's neck circumference where the collar will sit1.
- Add 2 inches (5 cm) to the measurement for comfort3.
- Ensure you can fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck13.
- Consider your dog's weight and breed as a general guide24.
- For growing puppies or dogs between sizes, choose the larger size1.
- Check the collar fit regularly, especially for growing dogs3.
Remember that these are general guidelines. Always measure your individual dog for the most accurate fit, as sizes can vary even within breeds.
