Wrap a soft tape measure loosely around the lower part of your dog’s neck. For martingale collars, also measure the widest part of your dog’s head to make sure the collar will be able to slide on and off. No tape measure? Use a piece of string and then lay it flat against a ruler. If you are still unsure, include your dog’s exact neck measurement in the order notes or email us.

• X-Small 8″ to 12″ (toy breeds under 12 lbs)
• Small 12″ to 15″ (small dogs 15 to 30 lbs)
• Medium 14″ to 18″ (medium dogs 30 to 45 lbs)
• Large 17″ to 24″ (large dogs 45 to 70 lbs)
• X-Large 20″ to 29″ (extra-large dogs 70 to 100 lbs)
• XX-Large 28″ to 34″ (giant breeds)

*Note that long-necked breeds like Greyhounds and Whippets do not follow the weight guide. Always trust the neck measurement.

Cut a paper strip at the width you want and place it around your dog’s neck. As a rule, 1″ collars fit dogs under 30 lbs. Collars 1.5″ or 2″ wide work best for dogs over 50 lbs or long-neck breeds.

A martingale collar offers extra control without choking. Two loops work together: the large loop sits loose on the neck, the small loop tightens gently when your dog pulls to prevent escape. Originally made for sighthounds, it is now recommended by trainers for daily walks and will prevent your dog from being able out of the collar, like can happen with a side release buckle collar.

We do not recommend a standard buckle collar for walking if your dog pulls. The plastic buckle will wear out and may break. For safe walks use a martingale, martingale with buckle or a walking harness.

Yes. We offer leashes in various lengths and widths that match every collar style.

We can swap standard plastic buckles for even stronger buckles – upgrade to a metal buckle or cobra buckle.

All our cat collars use breakaway safety buckles. They release if caught on something to protect your cat.

Collars are made from high quality polyester webbing or nylon webbing.  Fabric collars have either a polyester or nylon core and are then wrapped in 100% cotton fabric which is then stitched to the underlying webbing.  Collars are assembled using heavy duty bonded nylon thread.  We use nickel plated or antique brass hardware and heavy duty plastic buckles.  We also offer upgrades to metal and Cobra buckles for dogs requiring a more heavy duty buckle.

We recommend to machine wash cold on gentle cycle and hang to dry or hand wash the collar on your dog when they get a bath
