Angie and Allie Collar Size Guide

Your Complete Guide to Sizing Personalized and Martingale Dog Collars

Every dog deserves a collar that’s not only secure but also a reflection of their unique personality and needs. Whether you’re looking to customize a stylish Personalized Dog Collar or need the added control of a Martingale Dog Collar, Angie and Allie offer collars that prioritize comfort, style, and functionality. Our guide will help you size and select the perfect collar for your pup with ease.

How to Size a Dog Collar

Sizing your dog’s collar might seem tricky, but with a few simple steps, you can find the perfect fit for your furry friend. The right collar not only ensures comfort but also keeps your dog safe on walks.

Step-by-Step Sizing Instructions

Keep Your Dog Calm

Start by ensuring your dog is standing still on a flat surface. If they’re wiggly, a treat or a little playtime beforehand helps settle them down.

Use a Soft Tape Measure

Gently wrap a flexible tape measure around your dog’s neck where their collar would typically rest—just above the shoulders, at the base of the neck.

Slide Two Fingers Under the Tape

Once you’ve measured, slide two fingers between the tape and your dog’s neck. This ensures the collar will have a snug but comfortable fit, giving your pup room to move and breathe easily.

Measure Twice for Accuracy

It’s always best to measure again to confirm accuracy. This is especially important when selecting a personalized collar.

Consider Adjustability

Many collars, including our Martingale designs, come with adjustable features, providing a flexible fit even if your dog’s weight fluctuates.

Pro Tip

If your dog is in between collar sizes, size up for comfort and adjust to fit.

The Benefits of Martingale Dog Collars

Martingale dog collars are a favorite for pet owners who need a little extra control. These collars are especially useful for training or managing dogs prone to pulling out of standard collars.

1. Gentle Control Without Strain

The key feature of a Martingale collar is its limited-slip design. It tightens slightly (without choking) when your dog pulls, offering better control while keeping them safe.

2. Perfect for Narrow-Headed Breeds

For dogs like Greyhounds, Whippets, or Afghan Hounds, a Martingale collar prevents slipping while keeping them comfortable.

3. Stylish and Functional

Who says functionality can’t look good? Angie and Allie’s Martingale Dog Collars come in an array of trendy designs to suit every dog’s personality.

4. Adjustable for a Customized Fit

Our Martingale collars are adjustable, making them a versatile choice for growing pups or fluctuating sizes.

Taking the time to properly measure your dog’s neck ensures a comfortable and secure fit for every adventure. Choosing the right collar isn’t just about safety—it’s about giving your best friend a stylish and functional accessory they’ll love wearing.
