How to Measure Your Pet
🐕 For Collars
Measure around the base of your pet's neck where the collar naturally sits.
✓ Pro Tip: Add 2 inches (5cm) for comfort. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your pet's neck.
🦺 For Harnesses
Measure the widest part of your pet's chest (just behind the front legs).
✓ Pro Tip: For adjustable harnesses, choose based on your pet's weight and chest measurement.
🏷️ For ID Tags
Consider your pet's size and collar width.
✓ Pro Tip: Larger dogs can wear bigger tags, while small cats need lightweight options.
