Sizes -
Since dogs come in all different sizes, it would be quite obvious that you can find a personalized dog collar sized to fit your dog as well.
Dog’s collars are measured in inches, and most often the bigger the dog, the larger their collar, however this is not always the case, but keep the following chart in mind:
- Toy – 8 to 9 inches
- Small dogs – 10-14 inches
- Small to medium dogs, 14 to16 in
- Medium dogs, 16 to 18 inches
- Large- 20-22 inches
- Very large dogs- 22-24 inches
The common width for most collars is ½ of an inch to around 1 inch, but they can be customized, of course to be more or less.
Jack Russels, Shelties and other similar sized dogs most often fall into the “small dog” category, as most have a neck circumference of about 10-14 in; which should help you to scale where your dog fits into the chart. Bigger dogs, like Labs, Retrievers, Dalmatians etc.. can have a varied collar size, because their neck sizes generally range anywhere from 14 to 20 inches, and likewise for large breed dogs; which is why you should always measure your dog’s neck circumference.
