Sizing Guide
Here’s a sizing guide to help you accurately determine your belt size or find the right collar for your dog. This will ensure a perfect fit for both you and your furry friend!
Belt Sizing
Measure a Belt You Already Wear
Lay your belt flat and measure from the base of the buckle to the hole you use most. That’s your belt size.
Measure Your Waist
If you don’t have a belt, put on the trousers you’ll wear it with. Measure around your waist where the belt sits. Order the closest size.
Fit Tip
A well-fitting belt fastens on the middle hole. If you’re between sizes, go up to the next size for comfort.
-
Belts are usually worn on the middle hole, leaving you room to adjust either way.
-
If you're between sizes, go up rather than down.

Dog Collar Sizing
How to Measure Your Dog for a Collar
1. Ask your dog to stand or sit comfortably.
2. Wrap a soft tape measure around the base of the neck, where the collar naturally sits.
3. The tape should be snug but not tight. You should be able to fit two fingers underneath.
4. Note the measurement and choose the size that includes it.

Still Not Sure?
If you’re unsure about sizing, custom lengths, or buying a gift, just get in touch. I’d much rather help you get it right first time than see a collar or belt that doesn’t fit.
