How to measure a martingale collar
To measure your dog for a martingale collar you have to use a soft tape measure (or a piece of string). Measure the neck size (B). Because the collar needs to slip over the head, you also have to measure the widest point of it’s head (A). Choose the size that fits within this range to make sure that your collar fits.
How to measure a leather buckle collar
The size of our collars are measured from the buckle to the first and last hole. If you have a used leather collar that fits well you can measure that collar from the buckle to the used hole and get the right size. You can also measure the circumference of your dogs neck and then add 2 or 3 centimeters, as you don’t want the collar to be too tight. Example: if your dog has a circumference of 36 cm, order a collar that is at least 38cm.
Muzzle measuring guide
In case you don’t own a Sighthound but still would like to know if the muzzle would fit your dog, please see the measuring chart below.
Nose length = blue line: measure from the tip of the nose to the middle between the ears.
Muzzle circumference = yellow line: measure around the muzzle, just before the eyes.
