🎯 How to Measure Your Dog for a Slip Collar?

The HEAD rules – the NECK's out of luck this time!
Slip collars follow different rules than classic buckle ones. They don't fasten – they slide over the head. That’s why it’s the head you need to measure, not the neck!
🤔 Why a slip collar anyway?
Because it's where style meets function:
-
Loose when calm, snug when needed.
-
Perfect for training or city strolls.
-
Dog pulls? Collar adjusts.
No choking, no drama – just classy control!
📏 Measure it like a pro
What you’ll need:
🧵 A tailor’s tape (or string + ruler in a pinch)
How to do it:
-
Find the widest part of your dog’s head – usually over the ears and forehead.
-
Wrap the tape gently – it should be snug but not tight.
-
Don’t add or subtract anything.
The number you get is what you enter as “Head circumference” when ordering.
📌 Pro tip: Wrap the tape as if you were slipping on the collar – it should go over the ears smoothly, but not fall off like a loose sock.
❌ Why NOT measure the neck?
Because with slip collars, neck size will just throw you off.
-
Measure the neck → collar won’t fit over the head.
-
Measure the head → collar fits like a charm.
Trying to squeeze a big head through a tiny sweater hole? Yeah, doesn’t work here either.
âś… TL;DR for the impatient:
-
Measure the head, not the neck.
-
Over the ears and forehead.
-
No padding or guessing.
That number → type it in as “Head circumference.”
