How to Measure and Size a Martingale Collar

For a collar to be safe, function appropriately, and looks its best, it needs to fit properly.

Martingale Collar Neck Size Measuring

Step 1 - Measure Dog’s Neck: Using a soft tape (seamstress tape) measure around your dog’s neck where their collar naturally sits. Pull the tape until it is snug but not tight. You should be able to comfortably put two fingers between the measuring tape and your dog’s neck. Record your measurement.

If you do not have a soft tape, use a piece of string and measure around your dog’s neck using the above instructions. Take the string and lay it flat on a smooth surface and use a ruler or tape measure to obtain the measurement.

Step 2 - Measure Dog’s Head: If you are ordering a standard martingale (without a buckle) the collar will need to be large enough to fit the neck, but also large enough to fit over the head and ears. Using the same method from step 1, measure the head starting at the throat and going around the head, including the ears.

Record the measurements and use while determining the correct size collar to order. Additional information is available in this dog collar sizing guide.
