Collar Size Chart
Buying Pet Collars Based on Breed
The size chart below is a guide only, it is always recommended that dogs are measured before choosing a new collar, as all pets are unique and therefore may not fit into their breed's 'standard' size. Furthermore, within breeds, there will be some variation between the genders with females being smaller (sometimes one or two sizes smaller than males of the same breed.)
