Please use a flexible tape measure to ensure an accurate reading.
Neck – Measure the neck length as you would for a collar. Allow some leeway for a comfortable fit.
Chest - Measure the chest at its widest point, which is typically right behind the front legs.
Body Length - Measure along the dog's backbone from the base of the head to the base of the tail.
This is from the base where the collar rests to where the tail is attached.
If neck, chest and body length measurements are given, take into account all measurements and purchase the item that best encompasses all measurements.
Fitting a Collar
Of course you don't want a collar which fits too tightly, as you may choke your pet! But if you give too much room, the collar wont be secure and your pet may be able to slip it off. A collar that fits correctly should always allow just enough room for you to fit two fingers through.

Every designer is different, be sure you know how to choose the best size for your pup.
