How to Measure for a Cat Collar

Buying Based on Breed
Take a soft measuring tape and measure the circumference of your cat's neck, close to the shoulder where the collar will sit. When you take the measurement, the tape measure should be loose enough to fit one or two fingers comfortably underneath. Make sure that the tape can't slip over your cat’s ears. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, use a piece of string, mark your cat's neck measurement, and then measure the string against a ruler.

Alternatively, if your cat has a collar that already fits perfectly, lay it out flat and measure from the buckle to your pet's preferred buckle hole.

 

Finding the Perfect Fit
Prince & Princess cat collars come in two sizes and are sized in inches from the first to the last buckle hole. For a perfect fit, select the collar that your cat's neck measurement sits in the middle of.

When choosing a collar for a kitten remember to choose one that is fully adjustable and provides lots of growing room to ensure comfort. All Prince & Princess cat collars have five or more buckle holes so you can always find a snug and comfortable fit.

 

Still a Perfect Fit?
After wearing a new collar for a short time, check your cat’s neck. If your cat has any redness or hair loss under the collar then adjust the collar to make it bigger. It is especially important to regularly check the fit of a kitten's collar, as they can out-grow their neckwear very quickly.
