Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best dog collar on the market?

The best dog collar depends on your specific needs, but quality features to look for include durable materials, comfortable padding, and secure closures. For dogs who pull excessively, our Gentle Leader Headcollar is designed by veterinary behaviorists and has helped improve over 5 million walks worldwide. It provides gentle control without restricting your dog's ability to eat, drink, or pant. PetSafe® offers a range of premium collars to suit every dog's personality and training requirements, ensuring you'll find the perfect match for your furry companion.

How do I properly fit a dog collar?

To properly fit a dog collar, measure your dog's neck and follow the two-finger rule for safety and comfort. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck, ensuring it's snug but not tight. The collar should sit high on your dog's neck, just below the ears and jawline for optimal control and comfort. Regular adjustments are important as your dog grows or if their weight changes, and PetSafe® collars feature easy-adjust mechanisms to make sizing simple and secure.

What are the benefits of using a dog collar?

Dog collars provide essential safety through identification tags, giving your pet the best chance of returning home if lost. They offer convenient control during walks and training sessions, helping establish good leash manners and communication between you and your dog. Many collars include reflective materials for visibility during evening walks, and specialized training collars can address specific behavioral issues like pulling or jumping. PetSafe® collars are designed to enhance the bond between you and your pet while keeping them safe, comfortable, and well-behaved in any situation.

Are there different types of dog collars and which is best?

Yes, there are several types of dog collars including flat collars for everyday wear, martingale collars for dogs who slip out of regular collars, and specialized training collars like headcollars for pullers. Flat collars work well for well-behaved dogs, while headcollars like our Gentle Leader are ideal for strong pullers who need gentle redirection. Training collars such as our Soft Point collar help with specific behavioral issues during walks. The best type depends on your dog's size, behavior, and training needs, but PetSafe® offers expertly designed options for every situation to ensure successful and enjoyable walks.

How can I choose the right size for my dog's collar?

To choose the right collar size, measure around your dog's neck where the collar will sit using a soft measuring tape, then add 2 inches for comfort. Check our sizing charts which typically range from petite for dogs under 5 pounds to extra-large for dogs over 130 pounds. Consider your dog's breed characteristics, as some dogs have thicker necks relative to their body size. It's important to recheck the fit regularly, especially for growing puppies, and PetSafe® provides detailed sizing guides and adjustable features to ensure the perfect fit for your dog's comfort and safety.

What features should I look for in a dog collar?

Look for safety features like secure buckles, reflective materials for visibility, and D-rings for ID tags and leash attachment. Quality materials such as durable nylon with padded elements provide comfort during extended wear, while quick-release mechanisms ensure easy removal when needed. Consider specialized features like no-pull technology for training, adjustable sizing for growing dogs, or weather-resistant materials for active outdoor pets. PetSafe® incorporates all these essential features into our collar designs, combining innovative technology with veterinary expertise to create products that prioritize your dog's safety, comfort, and your peace of mind.
