Size Guide
Every hound is a little different. Two quick measurements and you'll know exactly which collar size to choose. 🐾
How to measure
Grab a soft tape measure (or a piece of string and a ruler) and take both measurements.
Neck
Measure around the top of the neck, just behind the ears. This is where a martingale sits.
Head
Measure around the widest part of the head, over the ears. The collar needs to slip over this when loosened.
Pick your size
Choose the size where your neck measurement sits inside the range and the head measurement isn't bigger than the top of the range.
The perfect fit: when the lead is pulled gently, the collar tightens snugly behind the ears, and you can still fit two fingers underneath. The two metal rings shouldn't touch.
Martingale collar sizes
20–29cm
Neck
Perfect for: Italian greyhounds and other small, slim-necked dogs (papillons, toy poodles, chihuahuas).

In between sizes? If your hound's neck falls where two sizes overlap, email us their neck and head measurements (and a photo if you like) and we'll help you choose.
