Measuring for a custom collar

We understand how difficult it can be when ordering something for your dog over the Internet. It is so much easier to take your dog to the store and try on collar after collar to find the best fitting one. However, these collars are normally plain, run of the mill collars. You obviously want something special and unique, or you wouldn't be here, looking to purchase a special collar or lead.

An inch is an inch. Right? No, at least not when we are making custom dog collars. It all depends on how the dog (or collar) is actually measured.

Don't believe us? Try it yourself…take one of your dog's buckle collars and lay it open, flat on the table. Now, measure from the buckle to the correct hole. Now, fasten the buckle and measure the inside circumference of the fastened collar with a flexible tape measure. The first measurement will be larger than the second.

We are not trying to make it difficult, we promise! We just want your dog's collar to fit as well as possible. It is impossible for us to fit your dog over the Internet. Do not ask us to make a collar based on your dog's breed, age or weight - this is impossible. Please follow the measuring guidelines below for your dog's new collar.
