What are the sizes for your dog collars?

Traditional Buckle Collars

Our buckle style Rescue Me Dog Collars come in 5 sizes and 3 widths. Every collar is custom made at the time it is ordered. Our medium, large, and extra large dog collars come in a 1 inch (2.5 cm) width. Our medium, small and extra small dog collars come in 3/4 inch (2 cm) width. Our large, and extra large dog collars are also available in 1.5 inch wide webbing. Almost all of our patterns can be made in each width. Occasionally there will be a pattern that does not fit well within the thinner margins of a 3/4 width and we will note that in the collar's description. And we can custom make sizes for you. Need a large collar in a 3/4th inch width? Want a 3/4th inch buckle but a 1 inch wide collar? Just email us @

info@RescueMeCollars.com     

We can usually make most custom orders without any problem, and usually no extra charge.

All of our collars are adjustable and made to fit dogs as they grow and change. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to find a list of breeds and standard neck sizes. If that doesn't work you can measure your dog's neck with a tape measure, or use a string, then measure the string length on a ruler.
