Measuring Instructions - Very simple
Avoid these mistakes
- Dog was lying there
- It was not measured closely
- Measure your own on an existing collar
- Estimates & inaccurate readings
- The majority tends to measure too generously
Measure correctly
Measure neck circumference
-
Get the dog to “stand” or “sit”.
-
Place a flexible tape measure at the collar point
(alternatively: cord/thread/shoelaces) -
Pull the tape measure tightlyNote: Do not use the famous “two-finger buffer rule.” Make sure you measure snugly.
-
Read the value (or measure the length if using a cord). We recommend carrying out another test measurement.
- Note the note below about adding a “feel-good buffer.”
With a tight rope collar
💡 Please do not add a buffer . We automatically manufacture your rope collar with a 2cm buffer. So just enter your measurement result.
With any other adjustable collar
You can add another 1-2cm buffer and then determine the size you need and select accordingly in the product.
If your size overlaps with another size (e.g. M and L), we recommend choosing the larger one. It is also possible to make an intermediate size. To do this, select the “larger” one in the product and write your desired intermediate size in the note field in the shopping cart.

Measure head circumference
-
Get the dog to “stand” or “sit”.
-
Place a flexible measuring tape around the widest part of the head - often directly in front of the beginning of the ears
(alternatively: rope/cord/thread/shoelace) -
Tape measure tight pull
-
Read/mark value, carry out test measurement if necessary - round up decimal values
💡 If you use a tape measure alternative such as string, thread, shoelaces, you can then measure the marked length on the string with a ruler.
