Every pet owner wants the collar to be not only stylish, but also comfortable for the animal, so as not to worry about the pet slipping away.

Therefore, before you go to the store, you should measure the circumference of your dog's neck using a measuring tape.

When measured, it should not be tight around the neck or sag.

To the resulting number you need to add another 2-3 centimeters if we are talking about a large breed, but another 1-2 if we are talking about a small dog.

It is also worth considering the width of the accessory. A product that is too narrow will cut into the neck.

In addition, you should decide on the material.

One of the best materials for a walking collar is considered to be leather. It is waterproof, does not rub, is quite durable and will last a long time.

The collar should also not stretch too much, but you should choose elastic models.

The item must be inspected for defects. The collar must be well stitched, the fittings must be of high quality and withstand loads, and there must be no suspicious chemical smell.
