Dog collars help to manage, control and protect your dog. They also serve as a place for identification; rabies tag, dog tag with the name of the dog, your address and phone number, etc.
A dog’s collar should be selected according to your dog’s size, weight, and the circumference and length of its neck. A dog’s collar should not be too tight or too loose. There should be enough room to slip two fingers between the collar and the dog’s neck. It should never be too loose that it’s easy to drag the collar over the dog’s head.
It is also necessary to consider the type of your dog’s hair. While some dogs keep around the same amount of hair all year round, some of them shed during the summer or get haircuts, but are fluffy again in the winter months. For these dogs, you should account for the enlarging and shrinking of the neck circumference.
Similar to people out-growing their clothes, dogs can out-grow their collars. You should regularly check to see if your dog’s collar is fitting properly using the two finger rule, especially with a growing puppy.
