    4 What type of collar is best for my puppy?

    Either the Adjustable Snap Collar or the Adjustable Buckle Collar is the best choice. Both of these collars adjust and therefore grow with your puppy. Puppies usually outgrow both the Standard Buckle Collars and Small Buckle Collars.

    5 Do I need a neck size for Adjustable Collars?

    For Adult Dogs and Cats: No, it is optional. By giving the neck size of your pet it allows for maximum visibility of the information to be embroidered. If the neck measurement is not given the embroidery will be started at the non-adjustable end. If anyone needs to see the information, the adjuster may be moved.

    For Puppies and Kittens: It is not recommended to give the current neck size of your puppy or kitten. As your pet grows the information will be hidden and may not be visible when he/she is an adult. We do not recommend guessing your puppy or kitten's neck size for when it is an adult. Again it will only be a guess and if the guess is incorrect the information may be hidden and may not be visible when your pet grows to its real adult size.

    6 Adjustable Snap Collar vs. Adjustable Buckle Collar?

    The Adjustable Snap Collar is available in 4 sizes (x-small to large). It is very popular because it is easy, convenient and lighter than buckle collars. The Adjustable Snap Collars are made with high quality, contour snaps that are quick to snap on or off. These collars are not recommended to be used as a restraint collar, or as a collar for dogs that pull or are tied out.

    The Adjustable Buckle Collar is available in 2 sizes (medium/small to large). It is popular because it has the strength of a buckle with the flexibility of being adjustable. The buckle attaches to a single hole in double-ply nylon making this our strongest collar.

    7 Can I put a second telephone number on my pet's collar?

    Yes! For an additional fee a second phone number can be embroidered into your pet's new collar. This service is only available on the Adjustable Style Collars. All collars with additional information cannot be set to your pet's neck size. There is a good possibility that some of the information will be covered by the adjuster and /or hidden underneath the collar. However, the information is there and the adjuster can be moved if the information is required. The additional information is not limited to only a second phone number, it can be used if you want to use your pet's long name i.e. Captain Morgan 905-123-4567.

    8 Do I need to have an accurate neck measurement / neck size when ordering Standard Buckle or Small Buckle Collars?



    Yes! Buckle collars come in 2" increments with 5 or 6 holes. An accurate neck size is required so that we can select the buckle collar that will best fit your pet. We will choose the collar where the neck size is approximately in the middle hole so you can adjust the size up or down slightly. There is not much room for making buckle collars tighter or looser, therefore we do not recommend ordering this style collar for puppies.

    9 What if I give you the measurement of my dog's current Buckle Collar?

    We select our buckle collars on the neck size you give us. If you give us the length of the existing collar we may select a collar that will be too long and thus too big for your dog. This is very important. Measure your dog's neck size from it's existing Buckle Collar by measuring from the middle of the buckle to the hole that you currently use to fasten the collar, this will give the correct size.

    10 Why do your Standard Buckle Collars have the D-ring first?

    A D-Ring is the metal ring on the collar that is shaped like the letter D. This ring is used to attach your pet's tag(s) and the leash.

    Our Standard Buckle Collars have the D-Ring first for added strength. The D-Ring is reinforced with extra stitches and cannot be pulled off. There is less pressure on the buckle and less chance of the buckle coming undone. This gives a stronger, better fitting collar for your pet.

    11 How do I fasten the Standard Buckle Collars?

    The collar goes through the D-Ring first, then does up in the buckle.

    12 What is the most popular type of collar?

    The Adjustable Snap Collar is the most popular. The Adjustable Buckle Collar is a close second.

    13 Are the collars washable?

    Yes, the collars are washable. The collars may be hand washed using mild detergent and cool water. Do not use bleach or detergents with bleach. Some bright colours may fade. Some colours may run if wet (red and/or purple - depending on the dye lot).

    14 What are the 3 most popular colours of collars and embroidery colours?

    The 3 most popular colours are:

    • Red collar with Black or Navy Blue embroidery
    • Black collar with Yellow or Red embroidery
    • Hunter Green collar with Tan or Yellow embroidery

    15 What type of collar is most popular for cats?

    The Break-Away Safety Cat Collar is the most popular. The Break-Away Safety Cat Collar is designed with a special snap closure that will release with pressure for your cat's safety. It is available in either solid colours (such as Red, Royal Blue etc) or in bright Reflective.

    16 Will the items I order be the same colour as on my computer screen?

    The colour displayed on your screen may not be the exact colour of the item. The quality of your display adapter and/or monitor may distort the actual colours (both the item colours and the embroidery colours). Also, item colours can vary due to different dye lots. K9Collars.com will not be held responsible and/or liable for mismatched colours.
