Ever wonder what the neck size of your pup is and how it compares to other dogs? Or maybe you got a new dog and need to know what size collar to get for them?

Search our table by breed to find the right size collar for an adult dog. While this is a good guide, we recommend that you measure your dog’s neck before buying a collar.

How To Measure Your Dog For A Collar

Use a soft and flexible tape measure to determine your dog’s neck size where her collar naturally falls. Then, slide two fingers between your dog’s neck and the tape measure to make sure the dog collar fits properly without being too tight.

If you’re shopping for a new dog collar, check out our favorite customized option, the Country Brook Personalized Dog Collar.
