P'etiquette Dog Collars: Size Guide

It is very important that you measure your dog's neck before ordering a collar to ensure the comfort and the correct fit. We find the following methods the easiest:

  • Take the existing collar and measure from the worn hole to the tip of the buckle.

  • Place two fingers on the dog's neck (not flat, but pointing out like scissors) and measure around the neck and your fingers.

  • Alternatively, measure the existing collar from the middle of the buckle to the most used hole.

    If you need an alternative size or width not listed below, then please don't hesitate to contact us, and we can make the collar to whatever measurements you require.

    Wideboy Collars

    We've now introduced the P'etiquette "Wideboy" collar, which have the slim part of the collar under the chin for comfort, but then have a wider part of the collar on the back of the neck along with the D-ring for easier fitting to the lead. The Wideboy collars are fantastic as they show really well through long fur, or if you really want to show off your new luxury collar.
    The Wideboy is available with all of our leather collars, just select the corresponding size from the drop down menu of the collar page when purchasing your collar.
