Quick answer
Measure your dog's neck, choose the right size and buckle option for the Everyday Collar 1.5", then adjust the fit to sit snug but comfortable. Clean the pattern regularly with mild soap and water, and check the buckle and stitching often to keep the limited-edition collar looking and working its best.
Why the 1.5" width changes fit and care
A 1.5-inch collar spreads pressure over a wider area than a standard narrow collar, which can make it more comfortable for strong pullers or dogs that tend to strain. That extra width also means you need to measure more carefully: the collar sits higher on the neck, so a size that fits in a 1-inch collar may feel tighter here.
Because this is a limited drop, replacement parts may not be available later. Treat the buckle and pattern as long-term investments from day one, and inspect them more often than you would a plain everyday collar.
Buckle choice and pattern: what to decide before you measure
The Everyday Collar 1.5" comes in two buckle options and several limited-edition patterns. Buckle style affects how the collar sits and how easy it is to put on, so pick that first. Then choose a pattern that suits your dog's environment and your own taste.
If your dog is between sizes, size up rather than down. A collar that is too tight can rub, especially with a wider 1.5-inch band, and the limited drop means exchanging for a different size may not be possible.
Step-by-step: fit and care for your limited drop collar
- Measure your dog's neck: Use a soft tape measure to measure the widest part of your dog's neck, then add about two fingers' width for comfort. Common mistake: measuring over thick fur or a harness and getting a false reading. Write the measurement down and compare it to the collar's size options before ordering.
- Choose your size and buckle: Match your measurement to the available sizes, then pick one of the two buckle options. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size. Common mistake: choosing a buckle based only on looks without checking how it fastens. Confirm the buckle style works for your daily routine before the limited drop sells out.
- Test the initial fit: Put the collar on your dog and check that you can slide two fingers under the band without forcing. The collar should not slide over the head when your dog pulls backward. Common mistake: fastening it too tight because the 1.5-inch width feels secure. Recheck the fit after a few minutes of wear, since the collar may settle.
- Adjust for activity: For walks and training, the collar should sit snug enough that it does not rotate but loose enough that it does not restrict breathing. Common mistake: leaving the collar at the same fit for every activity, including rest and rough play. If your dog wears the collar all day, check the fit again during rest periods.
- Clean the pattern regularly: Wipe the collar with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air-dry it completely before use. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can fade the limited-edition pattern. Common mistake: soaking the collar and letting it dry in direct sunlight. Clean after muddy walks or heavy shedding to keep the pattern and hardware clear.
- Inspect buckle and stitching: Check the buckle, D-ring, and stitching each week for wear or looseness. Because this is a limited drop, replacement parts may not be available, so address small issues early. Common mistake: ignoring a slightly stiff buckle until it fails. Set a weekly reminder to inspect the collar, especially if your dog is a strong puller.
