Why weight is the wrong number for a Collar

Short-necked and thick-necked breeds tend to get sized by eye, and that is how collars end up too tight. We invert the order: neck measurement first, size second.

Boundary and Sizing Advice

Individual dogs of this breed fall into more than one size. Measure before ordering; the chart narrows the choice rather than settling it.

Puppy Sizing & Growth Timeline

Beagle typically reaches mature skeletal size around 12 months.

For puppies, consider an adjustable harness/collar with multi-point expansion or use a crate divider panel until adult size is achieved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know the collar size for my dog?

Measure the neck at its mid-point and add 4 cm, which is about two fingers of room. Neck circumference is the only measurement a collar depends on.

Why does my breed need a bigger collar than the weight suggests?

Short-necked and thick-necked breeds carry more neck than their body weight implies. That is why we size collars from neck measurement alone.

Is a wider collar better for a thick neck?

For short, thick necks a wider band distributes pressure better and resists slipping. Our recommended size assumes a standard band; adjust upward for a narrow one.

How to Measure Your Beagle

Take measurement with a flexible tape while your dog is standing square.
