I have 2 small dogs. They have 15'' necks. They are long-hair &amp; their collars always mat their fur. Will these collars mat fur? Which size to get?

I'm not sure. I have a bigger dog around 70lbs and he likes to run and chase stuff mostly cars so I need a larger and stronger collar with the chain. The reflective part works great

For a full blooded Lab I would go with the Short Haired Version (I use to have a Full blooded lab also). I've compared both styles and the Short hair version would get close to doing as good as a job on say a Husky (my case) But Labs lean more towards shorter hair. Its still long but not as long as a Shepard of Husky style dogs hair cut. It grows different and there is less coat to get through. The Short hair Furminator should do the trick in your case. :)

If your dog is fully grown the medium would probably be OK but if the dog is still growing, go for the large. Also, if the dog's fur around the neck is quite "furry" then go for the large. My dog is a Siberian Husky amd I opted for the large. By the way, good choice of collar!--this is one of the best leather collars I've seen in years.

I gave this as a gift to my daughter-in-law who has a small Chihuahua/Cairn Terrier mix and guessed at her size. I don't know the dog's neck size but the collar fit her and she is a small, but not tiny dog. Sorry I can't be of much help here.

I know they come in different sizes and for short and long hair. I have the large for short haired dogs. I have a Westie as well, and I use it gently on her, and we always manage to get some out. I know they make them for cats, and mabe for long haired cats, which may be closer to the kind of hair your dog has. Hope this helped.

I have an eighty pound German shorthair. The collar is very large I had to cut quite a bit off. There will be plenty of collar for your dog.

The collar is very large, but you can make it as small as you like, cut off the excess and heat the end to seal it so it doesn't ravel. I have three collars - one for a pug/terrier mix (about 20 lbs), one for an Olde English Bulldogge (about 70 lbs) and one for a mastiff (about 150 lbs).

I think it would be good to measure the dogs necks. I measured my 9 month old boxer's neck and went with a large because she was in between a medium & large. I would suggest measuring the dogs necks to figure out what size you need. Hope this helps.

I have a dog who has to wear a collar long term. I use the Comfy cone collar. I use it with his regular collar. My dog is hairless and the Comfy Cone does not cause skin irritation.

I think I would get a medium. My dog has a 14 1/2" neck and I got the medium. His collar has about 3 1/2" left on this one, so you'd be right at the edge of the size, but if you got the large, you'd have a lot of collar left. Hope this helps!

I haven't had any problems with matting fur on my dogs. Really only one has long hair, German Shepherd, but no problem with matting. Another dog is a rescue and she didn't have hardly any hair when got her. She's been a part of our family for a year now, and she has a beautiful coat. Her hair is about an inch long now. But still no problem matting. Maybe your dogs have much finer, softer hair?? I love, love these collars. They are sturdy, perform beautifully, and look awesome. You might want to consider a rolled leather collar? Hope this helps. Oh, I would probably lean towards the medium size. Hope this helps you... and your furry babies!

There's no way for me to tell you what size would fit best. You need to measure length, neck, and girth for best fit. I would guess since bulldogs usually have larger necks you may have to go up a size, but it may end up being too long. I would definitely measure to get the best fit!

Hi, For sizing, we suggest to measure snugly pet's neck size and add 2-3 inches to get the proper length. If the neck size is 12 1/2", we will suggest Medium size. Thank you! Amazon Seller: DogCollars

If you go to www.perrisleather.com and click on canine you'll find the following sizes: XS: 3/8" X 8.5- 10", Sm: 3/4" x 10-13", Md: 1" x 12-16", Lg: 1" x 16-20", X-Large: 1" x 20"-25". Measure your dog's neck and then order the appropriate size. My guess is you'll need a large but measure to be sure. The quality of Perri collars is excellent. - Dave Carson

Start with the 1/2 inch collar for smaller dogs. The large 1" is for Dobies, pit bulls, boxers, etc. All my dogs are short hair so I really don't know about the matting issue.

Just get the long hair one. They work very well and it should do fine on both animals.
