The correct fitting collar is imperative for your pet’s safety and comfort. Get the collar too big and it will slide over and off of your dog’s head, fit the collar too small and it could cause sores, coughing, and trouble breathing.

The best rule is to adjust your collar so that you can snugly fit two fingers between your dog’s neck and the collar. For toy and teacup dogs (under 8 lbs), one finger may be used.
