Harnesses are a more comfortable option for most dog breeds for long walks, safety and to present any important details.
Measure your dog’s neck before ordering a collar by wrapping a soft measuring tape around the base of the neck, just below the ears, ensuring the collar sits naturally. Insert two fingers between the tape and the neck to confirm the fit is snug yet comfortable, preventing slipping. Regularly recheck measurements, especially for growing puppies, to avoid tightness. If you don’t have a measuring tape, use string and a ruler. Always consult manufacturer sizing charts, particularly for collars tailored to specific breeds. For dogs with thick fur, adjustable collars are ideal, allowing you to loosen or tighten them after grooming. When measuring for a harness, also check the dog’s chest girth (the widest part behind the front legs) to ensure a proper fit. Like collars, harnesses should fit snugly but not restrict movement, and adjustments may be needed for seasonal fur changes
