Dog Necklace Size Guide: Find the Perfect Fit for Your Dog
Finding the right pet necklace size is easy. Use our pet necklace size guide to measure your dog or cat’s neck and choose the perfect fit for comfortable, stylish pet jewelry.
Pet Necklace Size Chart: XS to XL
When measuring your pet for a necklace, use a soft measuring tape and measure around the base of your pet's neck where the necklace will sit. Measure your pet's actual neck rather than measuring over a collar.
If your pet is between sizes, we recommend choosing the larger size for a more comfortable fit. Neck measurements can vary even among pets of the same breed, so measuring your pet is the best way to choose the right size.
For a comfortable fit, leave enough room to place one finger between your pet's neck and the necklace. If you prefer a longer, dangling look, choose a longer necklace length or add an extension.
| Necklace Size | Neck Size | Recommended Pets |
|---|---|---|
| XS | 5 to 8 inches | Chihuahuas, Teacups, Toy Breeds, Small Cats |
| S | 8 to 11 inches | Yorkies, Boston Terriers, Toy Poodles, Small Dogs, Cats |
| M | 11 to 15 inches | Beagles, Corgis, French Bulldogs, Medium Dogs, Larger Cats |
| L | 15 to 19 inches | Labs, Pit Bulls, Retrievers, Large Dogs |
| XL | 19 to 23+ inches | German Shepherds, Great Danes, Rottweilers, Extra-Large Dogs |
Always measure your dog's neck before choosing a necklace size.
