Sighthound collar size guide
It is essential that you correctly measure your hound's neck (or a collar that fits your dog) for a prefect, comfortable and safe fit. Our collar sizes are given as neck measurements, not the total length of the collar. Read below if you need guidance on how to measure your dog for a new collar.

Our collar sizes are deliberately designed to overlap allowing you to choose the width that you feel is most appropriate for your dog. Fixing holes are evenly spaced on collars. You can always ask for an extra hole to be made, if your dogs falls right between sizes.
How to measure your dog for a sighthound collar
Our collar sizes are given as neck measurements, not the total length of the collar. The neck size given is the distance from the buckle (A) to the first (B) and the last (C) hole.
For example, the size XXS collar is sized for necks between 18cm and 22cm
(7" - 8.5"). This means that the distance from the buckle to the first
hole A is 7" and to the last hole B is 8.5". As long as, your dog's neck is somewhere between 7" and 8.5", this is the size to go for.
If you already have a collar, the easiest method would be to measure your existing collar. Please measure from the buckle to the hole you are using.
Otherwise, you can measure your hound by using a soft tape measure, ribbon or anything that can be wrapped around your hound's neck from below the chin to behind the ears. This measurement will be the smallest size collar that will comfortably fit your dog, but, at the same time, is tight enough to ensure that your slender hound can not back out off the collar.
Add 10-20mm should you require a looser fit collar for your dog. If you want to be precise, measure neck circumference around the centre of your hound's neck and not under the chin and ears.
