Quick Answer

To fit a Diamond Cuban Link Collar 18" properly, measure your dog's neck snugly with a soft tape and adjust the collar so you can slide two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.

Why a Proper Fit Matters

A collar that's too loose can slip off during walks, while one that's too tight can cause discomfort or chafing. The Diamond Cuban Link Collar 18" is a fashion-forward choice, so you want it to look great and stay secure.

Because the collar is made of metal links, it doesn't stretch like fabric collars. This makes accurate measuring even more important—there's no give to compensate for an incorrect size.

Steps to Fit the Collar

  1. Measure your dog's neck: Use a soft measuring tape around the base of your dog's neck, where the collar will naturally sit. Keep it snug but not tight—you should be able to fit one finger between the tape and the neck. Note the measurement in inches. If your dog is between sizes, round up to the nearest half inch for comfort.
  2. Check the collar length: The Diamond Cuban Link Collar 18" is designed for a specific neck range. Compare your dog's neck measurement to the collar's length to ensure it will fasten properly. If your dog's neck is larger than 18 inches, this collar will not fit. Always verify the collar length against your dog's measurement before purchasing.
  3. Fasten and adjust: Put the collar on your dog and fasten the clasp. Adjust it so it sits high on the neck, just behind the ears. You should be able to slide two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck—this is the ideal snugness. If you can't fit two fingers, loosen the collar; if you can fit more than two, tighten it.
  4. Monitor during wear: Check the collar periodically, especially during the first few days. Watch for signs of irritation or rubbing. The metal links can be heavier than fabric collars, so ensure your dog is comfortable wearing it for extended periods. Remove the collar during unsupervised play or sleep to prevent any risk of catching.
