No measuring tape? No worries. Here’s a simple way to measure your dog’s neck using a string or ribbon:

1. Wrap it around the middle of your dog’s neck — right where the collar would sit.

2. Keep it snug, but not tight

3. Mark the spot where the ends meet, then lay it flat and measure the length with a ruler.

That’s your dog’s neck size — now you’re ready to choose the right fit.

To measure for slip-on collars (like limited slips), you’ll need your dog’s head size — not just their neck.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Grab a soft measuring tape, ribbon, or string.

2. Wrap it snugly around the widest part of your dog’s head — just in front of the ears and under the chin.

3. Make sure the tape stays flat and snug all the way around (not loose, not too tight).

4. Mark where the ends meet and measure the length if using a string.

This ensures the collar can slip on comfortably over the head — but won’t slide off during walks.
