Correct Collar sizing guide ( NYLON or LEATHER COLLARS )
To determine proper size measure the circumference of your pets neck and add 1-2", 1/2" - 5/8" width is best for puppies and small dogs. 5/8"- 3/4" width is best for small to medium dogs. 1" - 1 1/4" width is best for large dogs. ( AND PLEASE REMEMBER TO ALWAYS KEEP A CLOSE CHECK ON THEM SO THEY NEVER GET TO TIGHT AROUND THEIR LITTLE NECKS )
Sizing for Coats, Sweaters, Shirts and Saftey Vests.
Measure the length of your pets back from the base of their neck to the base of their tail, if the measurement is between sizes going up 1 size is recommended also if your pet has a stout build, a deep chest or is over weight I recommend to go up a minimun of 1 size for proper fit, If a dog is long backed like a Dachshund a smaller size is recommended.
Mid-drift style Jackets and Shirts
For shorter mid-drift style garments measure the length of your pets back from base of their neck to the base of their tail but due to the unique styling of mid-drift garments they may sit higher on the dogs back.
