Howl-looo way over there.

You certainly can make a purchase.

Don't panic! I can still throw you a bone, it might just take a little longer and cost a wee bit more, but I do ship internationally!

My collars are designed and sized specifically with comfort in mind. 

It was of paramount importance to me to ensure that my collar is available in a suitable size that will complement the proportions of your best friend, may they be big or small. 

As a result, I offer the widest range of collar sizes on the market. 

Now, I’ve got to be honest... I've done a lot of digging in my time (whoops) and always hit the same snag. The answer to this question usually presents itself as a table full of seemingly irrelevant numbers and confusing overlapping sizes ranges! It's enough to send you barking mad! 

Choosing which size to order should be a walk in the park!

So I have developed a sizing system that makes it clear exactly which size is correct for your dog. Your dog's neck size will never border between two sizes, and my collar size calculator will tell you exactly what size collar to order for your dog, so you won't ever be left guessing which size to order. 

Plus, each size is designed with your dog's proportions in mind, so you can rest assured the size selected will both be comfortable and look great!

That's a question you'll never have to ask yourself here at THE HOUND.

My leashes are designed and sized, specifically with comfort in mind. As a result, the classic leash has been purposefully crafted in two sizes to complement the proportions of your best friend perfectly, no matter if they are big or small. 

It is, therefore, recommended you choose the XXS-S classic leash if your dog's collar size is  XXS, XS or S, and the M-XL classic leash if your dog's collar size is M, L, or XL. For assistance with achieving a proper fit, please read my measuring instructions and make use of my collar size calculator.

Size Guide
Classic Collar Size Guide

My collars are designed and sized specifically with comfort in mind. 

It was of paramount importance to me to ensure that my collar is available in a suitable size that will complement the proportions of your best friend, may they be big or small. As a result, I offer the widest range of collar sizes on the market. 

I have developed a sizing system that makes it clear exactly which size is correct for your dog. Your dog's neck size will never border between two sizes and my collar size calculator will tell you exactly what size collar to order for your dog, so you won't ever be left guessing which to choose.


To measure correctly:

1. Place a measuring tape comfortably around your dog’s neck as shown in (A).
Note: use the base of your dog's jaw as the marker for the correct place to take your measurement. This will ensure the collar you order is not too large.

2. Record the measurement in cm.

3. Enter your dog's neck measurement below and the collar size calculator will determine the correct collar size for your dog.

NOTE:  you must enter the actual measurement in cm of the base of your dog’s neck, there is no need to place two fingers between the tape and neck when taking the measurement, the correct extra space to ensure a comfortable fit has already been accounted for in the sizing. For fluffier breeds, be sure to measure slightly under the coat, I want to make sure its a snug fit so your dog does not slip out of the collar.
