collars Hi everyone! I have a 1 year old little Yorkie named Roxie. I am looking for a new collar for her. She has a collar that she slips over her bottom jaw! It is so scary! I do want her to wear a collar for her name, address, etc. She is microchipped. Any suggestions would be great. I have tried tightening it by one notch, but I think that is too tight around her neck Thank you!:aimeeyork |
I'm having a similar problem. JT's hair gets very matted under his collar, no matter which one I try, and I want his id visible on him just in case he slips out. The groomer had to shave his chest today. His hair is baby-fine. Does anyone know a collar that doesn't cause matts? A cat collar can be small enough. |
In general, due to the collapsed trachea issues with Yorkies many advocate for harnesses and not collars. And, yes you are correct collars and harnesses can be a situation with Yorkie hair! |
Collars JT's collar is just for his identification tag. I agree with you, I would never put a leash on it. We use a harness for walking. But even the tiny collar and the tag caused mats. I just ordered a brush someone else recommended, along with a detangler. His daily brushing just got more complicated! 😊 🐾 |

I like the 3/8" collars by yellow dog design they are not pricey but very soft and small. I use the quick buckle not the buckle that is like a belt. |
Fitting a collar properly for a yorkie is different than for larger dogs. You really only want to be able to slip a pinkie finger btwn the neck and collar - that's it. If it can get to her jaw/mouth - it's wayyyy too loose. |

For my kiddos, I'd have them in a collar as a puppy, but if I left the house - I'd always take it off as a caution. When they were around 6-8mths, they could start wearing it all the time then. |
