Measure my Dog

Use fabric or a flexible measuring tape to measure your dog

For collars, measure the circumference of your dog's neck (and be sure to add appropriate slack beneath the tape when taking measurements)

BioThane® strap width

We use a range of different BioThane® strap widths in our dog products. The image below provides a comparison of BioThane® strap widths against both the New Zealand 50 cent coin and USA dollar coin.

When we refer to 'wide', we're referring to a strap width of 25mm. And when we refer to 'slim', we're referring to a strap width of 19mm. Other widths are used in either extra wide collar styles (such as the Double and Tactical Collars) or extra small sizes.

Dog collars and harnesses

The charts below show our standard product sizes. If these sizes don’t work for your dog, we provide a 'made to measure' service - simply flick us an email with your request and your dog's measurements.

Please note that the breed-to-size guide provides an indication only - please measure your dog's neck or girth to be sure.

When measuring your dog for a harness - be sure to note the style of your chosen harness as sizes vary slightly between the Quick Release and Anatomical Harness styles.

*At 44-56cm, the Large Designer Quick Release Collar is slightly smaller than our standard large (which is 44-60cm). This is due to length limitations of the printed BioThane®.
