Collar Sizing Guide
Finding the perfect fit is essential for your dog's comfort and safety. Follow the steps below to ensure you choose the right size for your sidekick.
How to Measure Your Dog's Neck
- Use a soft measuring tape.
- Measure around the base of your dog's neck where the collar naturally sits.
- Ensure the tape is snug but not tight.
- Add approximately 1–2 inches (2.5–5 cm) for a comfortable fit.
- Compare your measurement to the sizing chart below.
Tip: You should be able to comfortably fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.
