If you own a terrier or a pug that weighs 13-18 pounds, the recommended width is 5\/8&#8243; width and a 7&#8243; \u2013 11&#8243; size. But if you own a big dog like St. Bernard or the English Mastiff, the recommended size is 1.5&#8243; or you can even adjust to a 2 for the width and a 24&#8243; \u2013 34&#8243; length.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/4inbandana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Dog-Collar-Size-Weight1.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Dog Collar Size &#8211; Weight1&#8243; title_text=&#8221;Dog Collar Size &#8211; Weight1&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The weight of the dog collar is crucial to a dog&#8217;s health.

If you have a small dog like the toy poodle or the Shih Tzu that weighs around 10-20 lbs., the recommended collar size is 9&#8243; -16&#8243; long and 5\/8&#8243; wide. If you have a medium-sized dog like the Bull or a terrier that weighs around 20-50 lbs., 13&#8243; -22&#8243; long and 3\/4&#8243; wide is the ideal size. However, if you have a giant dog like a German shepherd or a Labrador retriever that weighs around 50-90 lbs., the best size is 16&#8243; -26&#8243; long and 1&#8243; wide.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>How to Find the Right Size Collar for Your Dog?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/4inbandana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Dog-Collar-Size-two-finger.png&#8221; alt=&#8221;Dog Collar Size &#8211; two finger&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Dog Collar Size &#8211; two finger&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/4inbandana.com\/order\/custom-dog-collar\">Dog Collar<\/a> Size by breed<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Always remember that dogs come in different forms and breeds.

One reference to pick the right size is to check whether your dog has a short or long neck. Dogs like pugs have relatively short channels, so the best dog collar for them comes in thin ones. They would feel very uncomfortable if you give them dog collars that are too thick for their liking. In contrast, dogs with long and slender necks are comfortable with wider dog collars.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3>Dog Collar Size by Weight<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Your dog&#8217;s Weight is also significant in finding the perfect size for your dog collar.\u00a0Here is a list of dog\u2019s weight in each sizes that would fit them:<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>10 pounds \u2013 12&#8243; or less<\/li>\n<li>11-25 pounds \u2013 11&#8243; -15&#8243;<\/li>\n<li>26-55 pounds \u2013 13&#8243; -18&#8243;<\/li>\n<li>56-80 pounds \u2013 16&#8243; -24&#8243;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/4inbandana.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Dog-Collar-Size-Guide.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Dog Collar Size Guide&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Dog Collar Size Guide&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>What Sized Collar Will I Need If My Dog is Still Growing?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>What Sized Collar Will I Need If My Dog is Still Growing?<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Raising a puppy is both fun and a responsibility.
