| I would say you need to measure your puppies neck before buying a collar to make sure you get the right fit. You know not to walk your dog with a leash hooked to the collar right? That can cause collapsing trachea. Always use a harness when walking your puppy on the leash.

| I like the lil pals pet collars, they are only 5/16" wide and very soft, come in nice prints and are inexpensive. They come in two sizes 5-7" and 8-12". The 8-12" is usually too big for small pups under 5 lbs. We just put Abby in a leftover one from Ziva until she fits the new 8-12" one I bought. I sharpie marker her name and phone number inside until she get big enough for a tag and quits trying to chew on it! I do put on one of the lil pal bells so we can locate her under the furniture.(just measured- Abby is 6 1/2 months -5 1/2 lbs and her collar measures 8 1/2") |

| I use a cat collar for my baby becuse they tend to be smaller, plus it has a bell so I always know where she is. |

| I agree and they have a little elastic so they can come off if they get stuck somewhere.
