Average neck sizes of popular dog breeds

Measuring your dog’s neck is a simple process, and you can do it easily with a flexible measuring tape. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

What you need?

1. Flexible measuring tape
2. Your dog

Steps:

1. Get the Measuring Tape:
   • Use a flexible measuring tape. This type of tape is best as it can easily conform to the shape of your dog’s neck.
2. Find the Base of the Neck:
   • Locate the base of your dog’s neck, which is generally where the neck meets the shoulders. This is where you’ll want to place the measuring tape.
3. Wrap the Tape Around:
   • Gently wrap the measuring tape around your dog’s neck, ensuring it sits comfortably without being too tight or too loose.
   • Make sure you can fit two fingers snugly between the tape and your dog’s neck to ensure a proper fit.
4. Take the Measurement:
   • Read the measurement where the end of the tape meets the rest of the tape around your dog’s neck.
   • Ensure that the tape is level and not twisted to get an accurate measurement.
5. Record the Measurement:
   • Note down the measurement in inches or centimeters. It’s always a good idea to measure in both units, especially if you plan to shop for collars or accessories that use different measurement systems.
6. Double-Check:
   • For accuracy, repeat the process once or twice to confirm the measurement. If there are any significant differences, take the average of the measurements.
7. Choose the Right Size:
   • When buying a collar or any accessory that requires neck measurement, refer to our sizing chart provided on the product page to select the appropriate size for your dog.

Remember, it’s essential to measure your dog’s neck periodically, especially if they are still growing or if there are changes in weight. This ensures that their collar or accessories continue to fit comfortably and securely.
