Little essentials. Lots of love.

101 products

Browse our dog collars, from everyday floral, velvet and plaid designs to padded and studded leather, vintage suede with brass buckles, wide heavy-duty tactical collars, LED light-up and reflective collars, and matching collar-and-lead sets. You will also find slide-on ID tags. This page is for anyone fitting a first collar or upgrading an old one, and the guide below explains how to measure and choose.

How to measure and fit a dog collar

The AKC recommends measuring around your dog's neck where the collar will sit, starting near the withers and wrapping toward the front of the chest. Once the collar is on, you should be able to slide two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.

If you cannot fit two fingers, the collar is too tight. If you can fit several fingers or slip the collar over the ears, it is too loose. Check fit every week or two on a growing puppy, and again after grooming, because a full coat can change the measurement by more than an inch.

Collar widths and materials

Width should follow the size of the dog. Narrow collars suit toy and small breeds, while wide collars spread pressure across the neck of a large or strong dog. The heavy-duty nylon tactical collars here are wide, with metal buckles and a grab handle for close control.

Leather and suede soften with wear and look smart for years if kept dry and conditioned. Nylon and polyester webbing is light, washable and comes in more patterns. Velvet, floral and tartan collars are more about style; tartan plaid designs are a favorite for holiday photos.

Visibility on dark walks

Winter evenings mean many walks happen after dark. LED collars with steady and flashing modes make a dog visible to drivers and cyclists from a distance, and most here recharge by USB. Reflective collars and stitching light up in headlights without any battery at all.

For the best coverage, combine a reflective collar with a light. Our light-up dog collars page goes into more detail on modes, charging and pairing a clip-on light with a collar you already own.

ID tags and tracker holders

A collar's most important job is carrying identification. A tag with your phone number gets a lost dog home faster than anything else. The slide-on metal tags here sit flat against the collar, so they do not jingle or catch on crate bars.

Some collars include a holder for a small Bluetooth tracker. A tracker helps you find a dog nearby, but it is not a replacement for a microchip or a readable tag. Keep your microchip registration up to date whenever you move or change phone numbers.

Collar or harness?

Collars are ideal for carrying ID and for dogs who walk nicely on a loose lead. For dogs who pull hard, small breeds prone to tracheal problems, and flat-faced breeds, many owners clip the lead to a harness instead and keep the collar for tags.

Several sets on this page pair a collar with a matching lead or a no-pull harness, so you can have both. Whichever you choose, take the collar off in the crate or at playtime with other dogs if there is any risk of it catching on something.

How tight should a dog collar be?

You should be able to slide two fingers flat between the collar and your dog's neck. Any tighter can rub or restrict breathing, and any looser lets the collar slip over the head.

What size collar does my dog need?

Measure around the neck where the collar sits and add about two inches for comfort. Compare that number to the adjustment range in the listing, and choose a collar whose range puts your dog near the middle.

Are leather collars better than nylon?

Neither is better overall. Leather is durable and softens over time but dislikes water, while nylon is light, washable and dries quickly. Swimmers and muddy dogs often do better in nylon.

Should my dog wear a collar all the time?

A collar with ID is useful whenever your dog could slip out of the house. Remove it during unsupervised crate time or rough play with other dogs, where it could catch on something.
