Dog Collar Size Guide

Use this guide to choose the right collar size for your dog. Measure around the part of your dog’s neck where the collar will normally sit, keeping the tape comfortably snug.

You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck once fitted.

Size Neck fit Collar width Adjustment
XS 20–28 cm 15 mm 5 holes
S 28–36 cm 20 mm 5 holes
M 35–45 cm 20 mm 5 holes
L 45–55 cm 25 mm 5 holes
XL 55–65 cm 25 mm 5 holes

How to measure

Measure your dog’s neck with a soft tape measure where the collar will sit. Keep the tape close to the neck without pulling it tight.

If you are measuring an existing collar instead, measure from the buckle pin to the hole your dog normally wears.

If your dog falls between two sizes, choose the size that gives you the most useful adjustment range.

About the fit

Each Hughies collar has 5 adjustment holes, giving you flexibility as your dog’s fit changes slightly.

The collar width increases with size so the proportions remain comfortable and balanced:

  • XS: 15 mm
  • S–M: 20 mm
  • L–XL: 25 mm

Because each collar is handmade, there may be a very small variation in the finished measurement.

Still unsure?

If you’re unsure which size to choose, send your dog’s neck measurement before ordering and we can help you choose the best fit.
