Closed-Loop Collar Measuring instructions:
Beaded collars will "loose" some length due to the space taken up by the thickness of the beads. We recommend adding 2 inches for large bead collars (18+ MM beads). Add 1" for collars made of beads smaller than 18MM.
1. Prepare a soft measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler.
2. Ensure that your dog is standing comfortably and relaxed.
3. Measure the widest part of your dog’s head, typically just behind the ears.
4. Wrap the measuring tape or string around this area, making sure it is snug but not too tight. Take note of the measurement in inches.
5. If you’re using a string, mark the point where it overlaps and then measure the string with a ruler.
6. Next, consider the desired fit. For a slip-on collar, it should be snug enough to fit over your dog’s head but not so loose that it can slip off easily.
7. Compare your measurement to the available sizing options. This will help you select the appropriate size.
8. If your measurement falls between two sizes, it’s generally best to choose the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
9. Once you have determined the correct size, you can proceed with purchasing or ordering the closed-loop dog collar.
Remember, it’s important to measure your dog accurately to ensure a proper fit and to prevent discomfort or potential escape.

1. Get a soft measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler.
2. Ensure that your dog is standing or sitting comfortably.

4. Place the measuring tape or string around the base of your dog’s neck, where the collar usually sits.
5. Ensure that the measuring tape or string is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers between the tape/string and your dog’s neck for a comfortable fit.
6. If you’re using a string, mark the point where it overlaps and then measure the string with a ruler to get the circumference.

Additionally, you can measure an existing collar to determine the correct length. Beaded collars will "loose" some length due to the space taken up by the thickness of the beads. We recommend adding 2 inches for large bead collars (18+ MM beads). Add 1" for collars made of beads smaller than 18MM.
Remember, an accurately sized collar is essential for your dog’s comfort and safety, so take the time to measure carefully.
