Walkies and Woofs

If you are considering purchasing a Long Paws Collar, please find our useful size guide below.

Measuring for your dog for a collar:

  • Ensure your dog is standing still
  • Measure using a fabric tape measure or string
  • Measure the neck line at the base of the neck
  • You should then be able to fit 1 to 2 fingers inside the collar, for your dog to be comfortable
