Read on to find out everything you need to know about getting a personalized dog collar for your dog…..
These days there are plenty of manufacturers who are providing collars which are exclusive, and they also have custom designed collars to suit your needs. Since you can virtually have any kind of collar designed as you please, custom dog collars make the perfect gift to both you and your dog, and even any other pet owner you may know, as they can easily reflect the personality of the pet owner.
Standing out from the crowd -
If you want your pet to stand out, you can easily have your collar made to include unique materials like leather, suede, vinyl and many precious metals such as platinum, silver, or gold. You can easily have your collar customized to be decorated with many semi precious and precious stones and decorated beads.
Gemstones such as zircons, rubies, crystals, and even diamonds are often used to create gorgeous and very original patterns and designs on the collars.
Most commonly, crystals have been used to spell the pet’s name, and they make the collar look more appealing in general. Collars that are designed for your dog are good, because they are easily functional as a collar, and at the same time, they add beauty and charm to your dog’s collar.
Sizes -
Since there are many breeds and types of dogs, it is extremely important that you always measure your dog first, before getting a personalized dog collar, so that you do not get the wrong size.
Some common sizes range from the following:
- “Toy sized dogs”, 8-9in
- small sized dogs, 10-14 inches
- Small to medium- 14-16 inches
- Medium Sized dogs, 16-18 in
- Large, 20-22 in
- Very large dogs- 22-24 inches
The common width for most collars is ½ of an inch to around 1 inch, but they can be customized, of course to be more or less.
The 10-14 inch collars are most commonly used with dogs like Jack Russell Terriers, Shelties etc…because they have smaller necks. Bigger dogs, like Dalmatians and retrievers often fall into the small to large category, which is why you should measure your dog’s size for his/her collar.
