📍 How to Measure the Neck for a Dog Collar

1. Find the right spot

Wrap the tape around the thickest part of your dog’s neck.

2. Not too tight

The tape should be snug but not tight. You should be able to fit 1–2 fingers between the tape and the dog’s neck.

✅ Write it down in centimeters

🎽 How to Measure Your Dog for a Harness

Ours harnesses  – require two main measurements:

1. Chest girth

Wrap the tape around your dog’s chest, just behind the front legs.

It should be snug, with 1–2 fingers of room.


2. Neck girth

Measure lower up than a regular collar.
