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 it's 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 1 to 3 inches to this measurement, depending on your dog's size, to ensure the collar isn't too tight.
Once you have your correct sizing, check out the charts below for the Fi series you're purchasing to ensure the best fit!

Frequently Asked Questions
What size collar should I get for my growing puppy?

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 band the correct size?
The Fi Band is measured differently than a fully assembled collar. To confirm the correct sizing:
Shorten the spare Fi Band to its shortest setting. If your band still has a Fi Device attached, follow these instructions to remove it.
