Sizing

Dog Collar + Harness Sizing

Finding the perfect fit for your furry friend is important for both comfort and style. Use a soft measuring tape to take the most accurate measurements of your dog. If measuring tape is not available, you can use a string then measure the length against a ruler.

Dog Sizing
Chest: Measure around your dog’s chest at the widest point. This is generally directly behind the forelegs. Chest measurement is particularly important for properly sizing harnesses.
Neck: Measure around your dog’s neck at the thickest point right above the shoulder. Make sure it’s not too tight to allow for natural movement. The collar should not be able to slip over your dog’s ears but there should be enough room for you to fit two fingers underneath the collar.
Weight: Some products use a dog’s weight as a general measuring guide. Keep in mind that weight is only an indicator. Your dog’s chest and neck dimensions will provide the best way to determine your dog’s size.

Just like fashion for people, dog sizes can vary between different designers. If your dog takes a small in one product and brand, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will be a small for all products and brands. We have provided individual sizing guidelines for each of our products to help you choose the best fit. These guidelines, labelled "Sizing Chart", can be found on the individual product pages above the sizing selection.

Please make sure to measure your dog for accurate sizing before purchasing to ensure the perfect fit. If your dog is between sizes or is a growing puppy, always opt for the bigger size.

If you require assistance or have questions in determining the perfect fit for your dog, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Breed Sizing Chart

The following chart will help to give you a general idea on what your dog's neck and chest size will be according to breed standards. The sizes listed are the typical measurements for purebred dogs. Sizing may vary depending on your dog's age, weight and sex, as males are generally larger than females.

We strongly recommend that you measure your dog using a measuring tape for the most accurate measurements.
