It's very important that you have the proper measurement for your dog's collar, as not all charts and general sizes (small, medium, large etc...) will fit your dog, since the collars are customized in the first place.

While some collars do come in sizes .like small, medium, and large; most often a dog's collar is measured in inches, and you can check the chart below to see some common measurements:

  • Tiny dogs (ex. teacup), 8-9 inches

  • small sized dogs, 10-14 inches

  • Small to medium dogs, 14 to16 in

  • Medium- 16-18 inches

  • Large- 20-22 inches

  • Very Large Breeds, 22 to 24 inches

The common width for most collars is ? of an inch to around 1 inch, but they can be customized, of course to be more or less.

A good example to help you figure out the scale of the chart, is to look at Jack Russels, as they most often fall into the small dog category, of about a 10-14 inch collar.
