Dog collars are the most common treat for dogs. Most dog owners love giving their best friend a beautiful dog collar to delight their furry buddy.
Dog collars have to be very comfortable. The dog has to feel at ease with the collar around its neck at all times. Most pet owners do not give too much importance to the kind of collar and go for a common one that is believed to fit all dogs. But in most cases, this is not really true. Different breeds of dogs have different neck sizes. The collar has to fit the neck perfectly, with enough breathing space for the dog.
Dog collars are available in different sizes: small (10-14″), small plus (14-16″), medium (16-18″), large (20-22″) and extra large (22-24″). Small collars are for smaller breeds of dogs, including Maltese, pomeranians, miniature pinschers, beagles, Jack Russells, shelties and papillons. While measuring the dog’s neck for the collar, place two fingers between the neck and the tape. Also ensure that the tape is kept loosely around the neck. The collar is likely to rest a few inches below the head, but it is better to add a couple of inches to the measurement. If the length is between two sizes, choose the bigger collar. Select a bigger collar if the dog is still growing.
Dog collars are believed to reflect the dog’s personality. They may even show the owner’s personality. Dog collars are now available in unique designs which range from ‘cute’ to ‘designer’. Some of the different kinds of dog collars are handmade collars, leather collars, washable collars, cotton collars, metallic collars, glitzy collars, spiked collars, colored collars, plush suede collars, and so on.
The most common designs are flowers, baseball, rainbow, batik, rhinestone, collars with letters, flamingoes, polka dots, mink, Halloween, Hawaiian, patriotic, and several more. Other special kinds of small dog collars are adjustable collars, washable collars, training collars, no-bark collars, reflective collars, electric collars, waterproof collars, talking collars and others. Prices of these collars start at as low as $5 and can go up to $200 or more, depending on the kind of collar and the material used. There are also many providers of personalized collars for small dogs.
