How to Measure and Size a Martingale Collar (continue)

Why Custom Sizing is Important

In order to ensure a perfect fit it‘s recommended to order a custom fitted martingale collar.

• Custom sized martingale collars are typically made with your dog’s neck size at the center position allowing the collar to go smaller or larger in size.
• The smaller the collar the less amount of adjustability when compared to large collars. Ordering a custom sized collar gives you the most adjustability for smaller dogs.
• Custom sizing allows you to purchase a collar slightly larger than needed, while still fitting now, allowing your dog to grow into the collar.

Choosing a Width for Martingales

Generally speaking, you would select a smaller width for a smaller dog, and thicker width for bigger dogs. A wider collar will distribute the pressure across a larger area of your dog’s neck making it more comfortable. There is no right or wrong answer but think small, medium and large in relation to the size of your dog and the width of the best size collar to order. Strong dogs, heavy pullers or dogs bordering on the next size up you may want to select a wider collar.

• ¾” may be appropriate for very small dogs.
• 1” is right for medium-sized and larger dogs and is the most common size for most dogs.
• Medium and larger dogs or dogs with long, delicate necks may benefit from a width of 1.5” or more.
