Buying Guide

Which collar for your small dog to choose
based on its size and personality?

Small dogs have specific needs. Three questions to find the right collar.

Question 01

Does your dog pull on the leash?

For a small dog that pulls, opt for a model with an adjustable buckle and soft material to avoid injuring its delicate trachea. A harness can complement the collar if pulling is frequent.

Question 02

Are you looking for an everyday collar or a stylish model?

For everyday use, choose a lightweight, waterproof, and easy-to-clean collar. For outings or photos, a personalized or embellished model adds a real touch of class.

Question 03

What is your dog's neck size?

Most small dogs have a neck size between 18 and 32 cm. Always measure before ordering and allow two fingers of space between the collar and the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know
before buying

What collar width for a small dog?+
For a small dog, a collar 1 to 1.5 cm wide is recommended. Excessive width can hinder movement and put unnecessary pressure on the trachea.
How to measure my small dog's neck size?+
Use a flexible tape measure and measure at the base of the neck. Add 2 cm for a comfortable margin — you should be able to slide two fingers between the collar and the skin.
Collar or harness for a small dog?+
Both are compatible. A collar is ideal for identification and calm walks. If your dog pulls or has delicate airways, combine it with a harness for active walks.
Can a small dog wear a collar permanently?+
Yes, provided the collar is well-fitted and regularly checked. Remove it at night or during intense play to prevent any risk of snagging.
What collar for a Chihuahua, Yorkshire, or Bichon?+
For these breeds, choose an ultra-light model, maximum 1 cm wide, with a secure clasp. Biothane and soft leather are particularly suited to their delicate physique.
