Ensuring your dog's Fi Collar fits correctly is essential for comfort and effective functionality.
If you have an existing collar, lay it flat and measure its length in inches. At its correct size, the collar should allow you to fit two fingers between it and your dog's neck.
No collar yet? No problem. Use a cloth tape measure to loosely measure around your dog's neck where the collar would sit. Add 2.5 to 7 cm to this measurement to ensure the collar isn't too tight.
Once you have your correct sizing, check out the charts below to ensure the best fit!

Frequently Asked Questions
What size collar should I get for my growing puppy?
Consider starting with an Extra Small, Small, or Medium Fi Collar, depending on your puppy's current size. As your dog grows, you can purchase additional collar bands to accommodate their changing size.
The Fi Collar Band you receive in your collar box is interchangeable, but limited to its series. Click here to purchase additional collar bands for the Fi Collar Series needed through our online shop!
Can a Fi Series Collar be used on pets other than dogs?
Since we have designed and tested Fi specifically for dogs, our Fi Series product isn't optimized for cats, horses, or any other pet at this time. We do not recommend using a Fi Series product to track your cat or horse, as we don't expect a comfortable fit or optimal performance.
How do I know my dog's Fi Collar is fitting correctly?
Once the Fi Collar is fastened, you should be able to slide two fingers under it comfortably. The collar should be snug but not tight - and it shouldn't be able slip off your dog's head. This will indicate that your collar is fitting both comfortably and securely.
Is my replacement collar band the correct size?
The Fi Collar Band is measured differently from a fully assembled collar. To confirm the correct sizing:
Shorten the spare Fi Band to its shortest setting. If your collar band still has a Fi Device attached, follow these instructions to remove it.
Lay the collar flat and measure the length without the device. The spare collar band lengths should be as follows:
Series 3+ Fi Collar Bands:
Extra Small: 19.68 cm
Small: 22.22 cm
Medium: 27.30 cm
Large: 34.92 cm
Extra Large: 46.35 cm
Note: The buckle for sizes Extra Small - Medium is plastic. The buckle for Large & Extra Large is metal.
