A dog collar is, first and foremost, to ensure the safety of the pet itself, as well as those around it.

A properly chosen accessory will help you avoid troubles during a walk, especially if you are talking about a large breed of dog.

We will tell you how to choose the right collar for your dog and what points to pay attention to.

First of all, the size

To measure your dog's neck, take a tape measure and wrap it around the middle of your dog's neck. Don't tighten it too tightly - you should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and the neck.

Secondly, the material

There is a demand for leather, nylon and textile collars. The leather collar is considered the most durable and expensive.

Nylon ones are lightweight, but not the most reliable.

Textile ones are safe and not the most expensive, and their durability depends on the quality of the material.

Thirdly, fittings

You have to choose between a buckle and a carabiner.

The first option is the most reliable.

The carabiner is easier and faster to fasten, but this mechanism is not the strongest.

It is better not to use magnetic clasps, especially if we are talking about a large breed of dog.

As for the design, this is the last point to pay attention to. In most cases, you need to rely on personal opinion.
