How to Make Your Sure Dog Collar Fits Correctly

Your dog is an important and beloved member of your family, and going for regular walks is an important part of your dog's daily routine. When you take your dog on a walk, it is very important that your canine companion has a comfortable, safe collar on. Dogs can be hurt or become lost if their collar does not fit correctly or if the dog's collar slips over the dog's head. You do not want to take a chance on anything happening to your pet, so you should be sure to shop around and find a dog collar that is a good fit.

How to Make Sure Your Dog's Collar Fits Comfortably

You should be sure to measure your dog to determine what size collar your dog needs. If your dog is growing, you may wish to buy a collar that can be adjusted. However, most collars that are specifically designed for young puppies are going to end up being too small for your dog to wear as your pet becomes older.

When you have selected a collar for your dog, you want to check and see whether it is comfortable. Fasten the collar around your dog's neck and close it using the clasp or using the buckle. If the collar is adjustable, adjust it so that it fits snugly around your dog's neck but so it does not fit too tightly around the dog's neck. You should be able to fit around two fingers inside of the collar between your dog and the collar when your pet is wearing it. If you can fit more than two fingers into the gap, then the collar is probably too big or else the collar needs to be tightened.

You need to watch as your dog grows to ensure that the collar still stays at the right size for your pet and does not become too tight. Some collars can also loosen up over time and may become too loose, necessitating replacement.

For some dogs, it can be a challenge to find a collar that has the right fit, that looks nice, and that is comfortable and easy to clean. Fortunately, there is a great solution for pet owners who want to make sure that their dog has a comfortable and safe collar. Pet owners can have a custom made collar created just for their dog. The collar will be made of a durable, washable material and you have your choice of how the collar will look. You can also have your name and/or your dog's name, and your telephone number or other contact information put on the collar as well. By buying a custom collar, you'll ensure you get the right fit every time and by engraving it you will make sure that it is easy for people to contact you if your dog does get loose.
