Puppies are living breathing animals and grow amazingly fast. Most of them attain adulthood quickly, and before you notice it, the big collar of yesterday is almost choking your dog today. Such is the situation and in choosing dog fashion collars for your small dog today, make sure you shop carefully for tomorrow.

If you didn't know when the collar on your little dog has suddenly become so tight, it is not that you do not care enough; many people are sharing similar experiences with their dogs too. But, before you get on the wrong side of things, continue reading so that you know what to do to give your dog enough clearance for breathing healthily.

We didn't know how popular this question is until we had the need to find an answer for the same issue too. Below are two easy to remember answers we have for you on the question:

1. The two fingers rule

It's what we call the golden rule to the question. Place two of your fingers in-between the collar and the neck of your dog, if they go in freely, then it's a perfect fit for your dog to enjoy their time in the collar. This is a simple rule to follow and it's almost universal for sizing a dog's collar for fitment. The two fingers rule ensures your dog is comfortable, and it won't be easy to wiggle out.

2. Measuring

Another alternative of knowing the perfect collar fitment is measuring the neck of your dog, adding 2 inches to the measurement, then using that to size the collar.

Why does your dog need a collar?

Dog collars serve multiple purposes and it is essential your dog wears one. While it is important that you electronically tag your dog for easy finding if she ever goes missing, having a dog I.D tags on a dog's collar helps people to know where your dog came from if she ever wonders around.

Another good reason is for leash attachment. You can attach your dog’s leash to help you walk your dog. Leashes help you to stay in control making your dog-walking smooth; otherwise, you bet there would be so much more work other than walking as dogs are hard to stay focused on the task at hand if left on their own.
