Getting the Right Fit for Your Tattoo Dog Collar
The Beast & Buckle Tattoo Dog Collar combines a classic look with comfort and durability. To get the most out of it, you need the right fit. This guide walks you through measuring your dog, adjusting the collar, and checking the fit so your pup stays comfortable and secure.
What the Tattoo Dog Collar Offers for Fit
-
Tattoo Dog Collar: The collar features an adjustable fit – all collars can be adjusted to fit your neck perfectly. This means one size can adapt to a range of neck sizes, but you still need to measure your dog to pick the right size option.

Tattoo Dog Collar: The interior features comfortable neoprene so you don't just look great – you feel great, too. Neoprene adds padding for comfort, which is especially important if your dog wears the collar for long periods.
-
Tattoo Dog Collar: The polyester webbing strap can weather even the most adventurous play sessions, and the secure-locking buckle keeps it on your neck. Durable materials and a secure buckle mean the collar stays in place once adjusted, reducing the need for readjustment.
How to Measure Your Dog for the Collar
Accurate measurement is the first step to a good fit. You'll need a flexible measuring tape or a piece of string and a ruler.
- Measure the neck: Wrap the measuring tape around the base of your dog's neck, where the collar would normally sit. Keep it snug but not tight – you should be able to slide one finger between the tape and your dog's neck.
- Note the measurement: Record the measurement in inches or centimeters. Compare it to the size chart for the Tattoo Dog Collar. The available size option is Medium-sized Dog (15-50 lbs.), which fits dogs with a neck circumference in that range.
- Check the fit with two fingers: Once you have the collar on your dog, you should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. This ensures it's snug enough to stay on but loose enough to avoid choking.
Adjusting the Collar for a Secure Fit
The Tattoo Dog Collar is designed for easy adjustment. Follow these steps to get the perfect fit.
- Loosen the buckle: Unbuckle the collar and slide the buckle along the webbing to loosen it completely. This gives you room to work.
- Place the collar on your dog: Slide the collar over your dog's head and position it at the base of the neck. The D-ring for ID tags and leash should be on top, near the back of the neck.
- Tighten to the correct snugness: Pull the free end of the webbing to tighten the collar until it fits snugly. Check that you can still fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.
- Secure the buckle: Lock the buckle in place. Give it a gentle tug to make sure it's secure. The secure-locking buckle is designed to stay put during active play.
What to Watch For After Adjustment
After you've adjusted the collar, keep an eye on your dog for the first few wears. The neoprene interior adds comfort, but every dog is different. If you notice chafing or redness, the collar may be too tight. If it slides around or your dog can slip out, it may be too loose. Recheck the two-finger test and adjust as needed.
The collar is easy to wash – just toss it in the washing machine or hand wash with mild soap. This keeps the neoprene and webbing in good shape for long-term use.
