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

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 just measured the two of mine and they come in at a max of about 23". That's to the last hole on the collar. It also comes with two extra prongs that are about twice as long as the stock ones. This helps with long haired fidos. I've stated this in other reviews, but these are BY FAR the best purchases I've made for my dogs. I literally just got back from a long walk of freedom when I saw your question. I could never give them the exercise they truly need, without these collars. I have one controller controlling both dog collars. That's pretty cool too. Good luck!

If your dog is not likely to be growing into a thicker neck, I would think (but can't be certain) that the small, which claims to go up to 12" and is only 3/4" wide might be the better choice. Otherwise you will have a lot of extra loop hanging down (which dog could get caught on). I have only had experience with the 1" wide large & medium collars. Good luck to you and your canine pal!

The collars might be kind of large for a 20 to 30 pound dog. My two dogs are 54 to 58 pounds, and the collars are the right size for them. I have also seen 30 to 40 pound dogs in these collars and that seems OK. You can cut the collar part to any length, so that's not the issue. The issue is the shocker part is about 2.5 inches long by 1.5 inches wide by 1 inch deep. That part might be too big and heavy for a smaller dog. On the other hand, these collars are great!

Hi, For sizing, we suggest to measure snugly pet's neck size and add 2-3 inches to get the proper length. If the neck size is 12 1/2", we will suggest Medium size. Thank you! Amazon Seller: DogCollars

Measure your dogs neck. Then order. I ordered a small for my cat and I just love it on her. It does smell funny when you first get it , but the smell goes away. I love this collar it is so beautiful.

I gave this as a gift to my daughter-in-law who has a small Chihuahua/Cairn Terrier mix and guessed at her size. I don't know the dog's neck size but the collar fit her and she is a small, but not tiny dog. Sorry I can't be of much help here.

I have a dog who has to wear a collar long term. I use the Comfy cone collar. I use it with his regular collar. My dog is hairless and the Comfy Cone does not cause skin irritation.

They come in different sizes, my dog is a Shepard pit mix with a 12" neck. The size I got seemed to work. I honestly don't what the size range was for my dog, but it is a clean fit. My guess if they have a larger size try that. How ever the way it fits on the collar, that gap will ride under his neck.Esp for stocky dog.

For a full blooded Lab I would go with the Short Haired Version (I use to have a Full blooded lab also). I've compared both styles and the Short hair version would get close to doing as good as a job on say a Husky (my case) But Labs lean more towards shorter hair. Its still long but not as long as a Shepard of Husky style dogs hair cut. It grows different and there is less coat to get through. The Short hair Furminator should do the trick in your case. :)

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 have one of these collars for both of my 75lb dogs. It is the only collar that works EVEN through their thick fur.

If you go to www.perrisleather.com and click on canine you'll find the following sizes: XS: 3/8" X 8.5- 10", Sm: 3/4" x 10-13", Md: 1" x 12-16", Lg: 1" x 16-20", X-Large: 1" x 20"-25". Measure your dog's neck and then order the appropriate size. My guess is you'll need a large but measure to be sure. The quality of Perri collars is excellent. - Dave Carson

I use my FURminator as brushes and as de-shedding tools. I have small FURminators for my 2 small dogs and large ones for the 2 long-haired large dogs. If your small dog has short hair be sure a get the brush for short hair. My dogs truly enjoy their "FURminator time"; I use a small dog, short hair one on my Jack Russell terrier, a small dog long hair brush on my Shitzu , and large dog long hair FURminators on my Chow/Lab mixes. I believe the FURminators are well worth the money.

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.

Our pug has a 17" neck and we have the medium collar. You can adjust the size to make it smaller. I think you would be fine with the medium size.

The collar pictured is a versatile size and should work well for you. The length is long enough for larger dogs and can be cut shorter for smaller dogs
