I have 2 small dogs. They have 15'' necks. They are long-hair & their collars always mat their fur. Will these collars mat fur? Which size to get?

We have Blue Heelers and they have thick fur. So far no matting of the fur.

I haven't had any problems with matting fur on my dogs. Really only one has long hair, German Shepherd, but no problem with matting. Another dog is a rescue and she didn't have hardly any hair when got her. She's been a part of our family for a year now, and she has a beautiful coat. Her hair is about an inch long now. But still no problem matting. Maybe your dogs have much finer, softer hair?? I love, love these collars. They are sturdy, perform beautifully, and look awesome. You might want to consider a rolled leather collar? Hope this helps. Oh, I would probably lean towards the medium size. Hope this helps you... and your furry babies!

If your dogs' necks are 15", you don't have to worry about matting their fur with this collar because it will not fit on them. Contrary to the description, the collar's inner circumference is only 14 1/2 inches.

No - the collars won't mat the fur - but be sure to measure. I bought the Large for a 35 lb Cocker Spaniel...it fits but its way too heavy. I think the medium is a high as you should go.

I'm not sure. I have a bigger dog around 70lbs and he likes to run and chase stuff mostly cars so I need a larger and stronger collar with the chain. The reflective part works great

I hsve goldens, medium length hair, and they do fine. but for long haired dogs I think rolled leather collars are the best for their coats. the large will comfortably fit your 15" dogs' necks. I have 12 dogs and this is the only collar I use! I love them!

Start with the 1/2 inch collar for smaller dogs. The large 1" is for Dobies, pit bulls, boxers, etc. All my dogs are short hair so I really don't know about the matting issue.

I use the 825 collar on both my lab mixes. They are about 60 pounds now so not too big, and they fit fine on their necks. They LOVE when I reach for the collars! It means we are going for a GREAT walk/run/swim! Good luck with your purchase!

For my Scottish Terriers I got Mediums, 10 to 13" neck size. Depending on what type of dog you have determines size. When you look at them on Amazon each size gives the neck diameter they fit and a general list of the type of dogs each is suited for.

My dog isn't long haired, but she is shaggy. The collar comes with 2 sized prongs, I use the short ones, but I think if you separated the hair when placing it on the pup and used the long prongs, it would probably work.

I think this collar is definitely too large for them! Dogtra makes ecollars specifically for smaller dogs so I would look those up. I have a 65 lb lab and I had to cut about eight inches off of the collar due to it being so long. However, it fits my 110 lb lab perfectly :]

Sorry for the delay, I don't check my mail regularly. I ordered the medium for my 25 pound small dog and had to remove 4 of the links.Which left 6. These can always be added back in later if needed. My dog pulls really hard and this size works well for that. Her regular neck collar is 14 inches. I hope this helps you some. I also had trouble deciding which size I needed.

I extended the collar fully and it measures 21 inches. if your dogs have a neck size of 20 or less it should be a comfortable fit with a little room to grow.

Hi Sandra. Both my dogs are around 18 lbs. The collar is a little big on my female. I am cutting it down to fit. You might have to get a smaller collar, length wise to use it. Just make sure it is the same width.

I bought my collar for one of my dogs who weighs about 15 lb. I don't know what her neck size isbut it fit her just fine with adjustment. I think it would probably fit a 14 in. neck ok.

My dog is a German shephard and the collar did not work. I'm assuming it is because I read another review that said the collar needs to have close skin contact and I won't shave my dogs neck. I would try another collar if I were you

I have 2 Brittany's, the collars fit fine. They work as advertised my male sit on the top of my feet when I have it on him. My female stays closer for sure.John

I would recomend Large. My dog had a 19' neck and the large fit great with room to grow. They are really nice collars.Hope this helps!

Hi Greg. They fit my 25 lbs dogs fine. The collars are super long. I had to cut quite a bit off the end because it was hitting my dogs in the face.

I bought a medium sized collar and it IS adjustable. I would imagine the small one will be too. Just double check with the seller directly to be sure.

You can get very small collars for small dogs. Larger dogs can use the regular size, and they come with short and long prongs depending on the dogs fur depth.

Just get the long hair one. They work very well and it should do fine on both animals.

I know they come in different sizes and for short and long hair. I have the large for short haired dogs. I have a Westie as well, and I use it gently on her, and we always manage to get some out. I know they make them for cats, and mabe for long haired cats, which may be closer to the kind of hair your dog has. Hope this helped.
