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

my dog has a 22 inch neck and I ordered him the one that says it adjusts to 23 inches (I think the Large)...it was too small. Luckily a neighbor with the same collar gave us an extra link in order to make it fit...so my only suggestion would be to buy at least 2 inches larger than your dog's neck. You can always remove a link if you have to. Otherwise though, the collar has worked out well and we have had no issues at all with it.

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. :)

I wish there was some way to ask your friend how long his corgi is from neck to tail. 16 inches is pretty long but Corgi's are sort of squatty. The 16 inch I have fits my 20lb. Schnoodle, it may fit the corgi, it would be great if these came in a large but they do not. The material does have some give, it is really soft and looks so nice.. I sure hope you can get the right fit. All of these dog clothes are never uniform in size that is why it is so difficult to find the right fit. Neck sizes also must be taken into consideration. Not all 24 lb. dogs have the same neck size. Feel free to ask anything else. I hope this helped some.

There's no way for me to tell you what size would fit best. You need to measure length, neck, and girth for best fit. I would guess since bulldogs usually have larger necks you may have to go up a size, but it may end up being too long. I would definitely measure to get the best fit! Thanks, Sara @ Richards4Nutrition

Measure around dogs neck making sure that you allow for two of your fingers to fit comfortable between neck and collar. Collar should fit loose and be able to spin freely around dog's neck. We ordered the small (10") collar for our Italian Greyhounds and they fit perfectly. Hope this helps! Peter

I have a year old puppy with a 13 inch neck and I ordered a medium. It ran a little big but there was plenty of room to make it smaller. I ordered a large for my GSP adult male and had to size that to fit as well. My guess is they run large but are easily sized to fit your dog as needed. A puppy is going to grow but an adult dog will stay true to size. Hope that helps. We love our collars!

I would probably try the red ones (small). I would actually try to check these out at Petco or something first if you can- I think they list some suggested sizes by breed on the back of the box (but I could be completely making that up) and the staff could advise you too. With fluffier breeds, I think you have more flexibility- even if they are a little big on your dog, the hair will help keep them in place (you need a more accurate fit on smooth/short hair or they'll slip off if too big). If they end up being too big for now, sounds like your dog will probably grow into them by the end of the winter! Hope that helps! I would probably try the red ones (small).

well I measure my dog...he is 15- 15 1/2...I got the small they are adjustable...and I have a real hard time getting the two connections together...Dog doesn't want to wait...I think I would go medium and adjust...I have a mina. austrailian shepard...and full of hair so it is doubly difficult to attach...It is worth it however, as it does change the walk...like it...I forget what size the medium fits...

Dear Ancient One, both collars are 28 inches long. They should fit even the most `ancient' of dogs.

The collar comes with two different prong sizes. I use the shorter ones on my beagle mix, but his fur isn't very thick. They're about 1/2in long. I feel like the longer prongs might work for you, but it depends on how thick your dog's fur is.

I used it on my adult great dane with no problems. He has short hair so i don't know how well it would work on a dog with long hair. The collar is plenty long enough for him but im not sure it would be with long fur.

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

The collars are pretty long. They are plastic/rubber. You just cut to fit with scirrors. It has holes from beginning to end to fit. I have belgian sheepdogs. My female is 46lbs and my male 60lbs. Hope that helps. I have tried two other brands of ecollars these are the best. I like the vibrate option on the control

It all depends on the neck size. This one here is for 12 to 17 inch necks. So if your dog is smaller than a 12 inch neck size you will need a small.

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.

Yes. The collar is meant to be trimmed down to fit the neck of the dog you intend to use it on. I use the collars on our following 2 dogs: 1) Female Husky, 55 lbs - Lots of hair on neck but have not had an issue making contact with skin. 2) Male Black Lab, 85 lbs. These are not the largest of dogs when compared to a Great Dane, but I believe there is more than enough collar length to accommodate larger breeds. Dogtra does make a collar specifically for smaller breeds and we have one for our Boston Terrier. I hope I have been able to answer your question.
