How to choose a collar?
Collar length
This is incredibly important. Measure your dog with a tape measure. Place two fingers between the tape measure and your pet's neck (1) – making sure the tape measure doesn't press too hard on your fingers – and voilà, you have the perfect measurement! This measurement allows you to determine the right size for your dog. Choose the size where your dog's measurements fall roughly in the middle of the product's specifications.
Collar thickness
For small and medium-sized dogs, we recommend 20mm collars. For a small but strong dog, such as a bulldog, we recommend a wider collar, which will provide significantly greater comfort during walks. For larger dogs, choose a 25mm collar.
Remember - a well-chosen width corresponds to approximately two of your pet's cervical vertebrae. 💡
A collar that is too narrow may dig into the neck when pulled, while one that is too wide may cause discomfort when moving the head.
How to choose the right harness?
Have you decided on a harness? A very good decision, now it's time to choose the right size! Harnesses significantly reduce the strain on your dog during walks because they evenly distribute pressure across different body parts.
To measure your dog, you'll need a tape measure. You'll need to gather four measurements:
1 - neck circumference
2 - chest circumference (approximately halfway down the ribs or directly behind the dog's front legs)
3 - back length
4 - length of the sternum strap
We choose the harness size so that our dimensions are approximately half of the dimensions given for the product, thanks to which we are able to adjust the width of the harness and our dog will feel comfortable during walks.
