Your best buddy deserves a collar that’s not just stylish but also comfy and safe! At The Sho Room, I want to make sure your furry friend gets the perfect fit. A collar that’s too loose or too tight can be uncomfortable—or even dangerous. Here’s a simple guide to help you measure your pet’s neck correctly for their new handcrafted leather collar.
Why the Right Fit Matters
🐕 Too Loose:
- Your dog could slip out and wander off—yikes!
- A loose collar might rub against their skin, causing irritation or even getting caught on their legs or objects.
🐕 Too Tight:
- Tight collars can restrict airflow, leading to choking.
- They can also irritate your dog’s skin, making them feel uncomfortable.
How to Measure Your Dog’s Neck 🐕📏
1️⃣ Grab a Soft Tape Measure
- Measure around your dog’s neck—not the collar. Measuring the collar can lead to inaccuracies.
- Wrap the tape snugly around their neck, allowing for some space for comfort.
2️⃣ Follow the Two-Finger Rule
- You should be able to fit two fingers (index and middle) snugly between the collar and your dog’s neck.
- When measuring, keep your fingers in the loop to get an accurate size for the perfect fit.
Tips for the Perfect Collar Fit 🎯
- Use your measurement as a guide when selecting a collar size.
