The right size – how to measure your neck circumference

To ensure a dog collar fits securely, you should measure the neck circumference correctly:

• Place a flexible measuring tape at the thickest part of the neck.
• Slide two fingers between the measuring tape and your neck for the optimal fit.
• Allow an extra 1-2 cm for choke collars or martingale collars.

The correct fit prevents pressure points and ensures that your dog cannot slip out of the collar.

The right material for every need

Which collar is best for your dog depends on the intended use, coat type and skin sensitivity.

Nylon – lightweight and suitable for everyday use

Nylon dog collars are durable, easy to clean, and available in many colors. Ideal for daily walks.

Leather – high-quality and durable

Leather collars are particularly skin-friendly, elegant, and develop a beautiful patina over time. They are well-suited for sensitive dogs.

Biothane – waterproof and extremely robust

Biothane collars are weatherproof, hygienic and perfect for active dogs and outdoor adventures.

Neoprene – softly padded

Neoprene offers high wearing comfort and protects sensitive skin from chafing. Ideal for dogs with short fur.

Overview of closure types

The correct closure increases safety and ease of use:

• Click closure: quick, easy and practical.
• Metal buckle: very sturdy – suitable for strong dogs.
• Martingale: ideal for dogs that like to slip out of their collar.

Pay attention to weight and width

Small dogs need light and narrow collars, while larger dogs benefit from wide, sturdy models. This ensures optimal pressure distribution.

The right collar for every activity

• Everyday use: Nylon, neoprene or Biothane.
• Outdoor and water: Biothane because of its waterproof properties.
• Training: adjustable collars or martingales.

Skin compatibility and comfort

Look for soft inner surfaces, rounded edges, and high-quality materials. Leather and neoprene padding are particularly gentle on the skin.

Practical extras for greater safety

• Reflective elements for better visibility
• Personalization with name and phone number
• Robust D-rings and high-quality seams
