How to measure the dog collar?
It is very important to choose the right size for your dog, as it will accompany you for a long time, both on hikes and on everyday walks.
It is very important that you measure him correctly.
What length of collar should I choose?
Take a tape measure and measure the width of your dog's neck where the collar normally sit. Insert two fingers when measuring so that the collar you choose is not too tight for your dog.
If you choose a slip-on or martingale collar, be sure to measure the head of your pup as well, so that you can easily get your dog out of it.
If your pet is between two sizes, we always recommend to choose the larger size. It will accompany your dog on his adventures and make it easier for you to put his collar on and off.
What width of collar should I choose?
In our webshop you will find two widths of collars:
- Thin - 2,5 cm
- Thick - 4 cm
For small dogs we typically recommend thinner collars, while for larger dogs (border collie and above) we recommend 4 cm wide collars.
The best way to decide which collar is right for your dog is to cut a 2.5/4 cm wide strip of paper and attach it to your dog's neck.

How to measure dog harnesses?
To choose the right harness size, measure your dog's chest girth.
Remember, if you're hesitating between two sizes, always go for the larger one, as it will help the harness to fit over the dog's head.
S: chest girth: 43-55 cm
M: chest girth: 55-70 cm
L: chest girth: 65-80 cm
XL: chest girth: 85-95 cm
