Sizing
The “Neck Sizes” correspond to the actual measurements of your dog. Use our guide to better assist you when you are measuring your dog. For collars, measure the pink area. For harnesses, you will need to measure the blue area.
Collar Sizes
All products are sized in inches. Sizes below are the dog’s actual neck measurement, not the collar’s cut length.
| collar Size | Neck Size | Available Widths |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 8″ – 11″ | 3/4" |
| Medium | 10″ – 14″ * | 3/4″ & 1″ |
| Large | 13″ – 22″ * | 1″ & 1 1/2″ |
| X-Large | 18″ – 31″ * | 1″ & 1 1/2″ |
* For martingale collars with a buckle, sizing is slightly modified... Small: N/A, Medium: 11″–13″, Large: 13″–19″, X-Large: 19″–30″.
For collars, measure the pink area. For harnesses, measure the blue area.
How to measure
When measuring your dog, use a flexible measuring tape or string and measure loosely around your pet’s body to assure a comfy fit. All products are sized in inches.

How to fit a martingale collar
Martingale collars are measured as the size of the dog collar without the martingale loop. They should be fitted so they are snug (but not choking) around the dog’s neck when the martingale loop is pulled close. Different dogs may require martingales fitted with slight variation. Please keep that in mind when choosing your collar size.
The general trick to fitting a martingale collar is to position the collar at the smallest part of the neck just behind the ears. Then pull on the martingale loop to tighten the collar (as if your dog was pulling) to determine the distance between the two metal ends on the main part of the collar (typically these are O-rings, D-rings or a figure 8 slides). Then adjust as specified below…

Harness Sizing
Our dog harnesses are custom sized for your dog. Just provide your dog’s chest measurement. Harnesses are adjustable and should have some wiggle room in either direction to assure a comfortable and secure fit.
