Generally, the most accurate way to determine your dog's collar size is by measuring your dog's neck. Measure at the narrowest point of your dog’s neck, just as tight or loose as you would like the new collar to fit.
The collar should be snug, without being so tight that it will cause discomfort or loose enough to slide over your dog’s head.
As a rule of thumb, a well-fitting collar should leave just enough room for you to slide two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.
Measuring your current collar
If you are satisfied with the fit of your dog’s current buckle collar, you can measure the collar itself to get a new collar that fits the same.
Measure from the buckle's center bar, where it connects to the collar, to the hole that you are currently using.
Your dog needs a little dressing up for the holidays, too! Our Jingle Bell Dog Collar is made from the same fine leather as the rest of our line of dog collars and leashes, with an added row of jingle bells to get you in the Christmas spirit.
We purchased this collar in the 18″ x 1″ size for our English Springer Spaniel. We were so pleased—the fit was perfect! The collar is thick and glossy, and the sound of the jingle bells is subtle and pleasant. We’ve had jingle bell collars in the past that were just loud and obnoxious, but Auburn Leathercrafters’ bells called to mind sleigh rides and all kinds of snowy winter fun. If you’re looking for a fun winter collar, this is it!
