MEASURING, SIZING, & PRODUCT CARE
How do I measure for a dog collar?

Get your dog to stand (if they refuse then our gourmet treats should do the trick!) Take a soft measuring tape and measure the circumference of your pet'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 the dog’s ears. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, use a piece of string, mark your dog's neck measurement, and then measure the string against a ruler.

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

How do I choose the right size dog collar?

All Prince & Princess dog collars are sized in inches from the first to the last hole.

For a perfect fit, select a collar size range that your dog's neck measurement sits in the middle of. For example if your dog's neck measurement was 14", then a 12-16" sized collar will provide a perfect fit. If your dog's neck measurement was 16" we would recommend getting the next size up, a 16-18".

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

Although it is recommended that you should always measure your pet before purchasing a new collar you may wish to check the breed guide for an idea of what size your pet will need.

Still a perfect fit? After wearing a new collar for a short time, check your dog’s neck. If your dog 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 puppy's collar, as they can out-grow a collar very quickly.

How do I measure for a pet harness?

There are two measurements that need to be taken when sizing for a dog harness:

The Chest Measurement
Using a tape measure or string, measure the chest at its broadest point, (this is usually directly behind the front legs.)

 

 

 

The Neck Circumference
Measure the circumference of your pet’s neck as you would for a collar. Ensure that this is not tight, (you should be able to get two fingers behind the measuring tape) before noting the measurement.

 

 

How do I measure for pet clothes?

There are three measurements that need to be taken when sizing for dog clothes:

The Body Length
Measure from the base of your pet’s head (where the collar normally sits) along the backbone to the base of the tail (the point where the tail begins).

 


The Chest Measurement
Using a tape measure or string, measure the chest at its broadest point, (this is usually directly behind the front legs.)

 

 

 

The Neck Circumference
Measure the circumference of your pet’s neck as you would for a collar. Ensure that this is not tight, (you should be able to get two fingers behind the measuring tape) before noting the measurement.

 


Leg Length (optional)
Measure from the point where the collar usually sits at the shoulder, straight down to the paws. (Although this measurement is not as important as the others, it will give an indication of how far down garments, such as hoodies, will fall on the legs.)

How do I choose the right size pet clothes?

Because every pet is different with a unique body shape, it is important to ensure that new pet clothes fit properly. Check that you can fit two fingers under the neck, that the chest is not too tight or restrictive, and that the garment is not too long near the tail as it will get dirty when they sit down.

How can I buy pet collars, harnesses, and clothes based on breed?

Although, it is recommended that pets are measured before choosing new designer pet clothes, we know that this isn't always possible when buying gifts or for new puppies. The size chart below is a guide only, as all pets are unique and therefore may not fit into their breed's 'standard' size. Within breeds, there will be some size variation between the genders with females being smaller (sometimes one or two sizes smaller than males of the same breed.)

How do I care for pet collars and clothes?

COLLARS

Imitation-leather pet collars can be wiped clean with a damp soft cloth and mild soap.

Fabric collars can be hand washed with mild soap

 

CLOTHING

Most pet clothes can be washed at 30 degrees in a gentle wash. If they feature embellishments they should be hand washed in warm water. All clothes should be hang-dried. Individual product pages give details of garment care.
