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

We have Blue Heelers and they have thick fur. So far no matting of the fur.

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!

If your dogs' necks are 15", you don't have to worry about matting their fur with this collar because it will not fit on them. Contrary to the description, the collar's inner circumference is only 14 1/2 inches.

No - the collars won't mat the fur - but be sure to measure. I bought the Large for a 35 lb Cocker Spaniel...it fits but its way too heavy. I think the medium is a high as you should go.

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

I hsve goldens, medium length hair, and they do fine. but for long haired dogs I think rolled leather collars are the best for their coats. the large will comfortably fit your 15" dogs' necks. I have 12 dogs and this is the only collar I use! I love them!

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.

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.

If your dog is done growing I think the small should be enough. I bought the medium 1" for a Bernese who now is 85lbs. The collar allows some room for adjustment around the neck. Very sturdy collars and gentle around the neck. Easily washable. Love the loop that fits your hand to keep the dog at arm's length. Good luck.

Our pug has a 17" neck and we have the medium collar. You can adjust the size to make it smaller. I think you would be fine with the medium size.

The collar will fit smaller dogs ,when I ordered mine,I only got one unit that would work

They should do, remember your dogs e collar should be able to fit two fingers between it and the dogs neck, my dog is medium hair but its thick and this collar works well on him

Yes. The collar is meant to be trimmed down to fit the neck of the dog you intend to use it on. I use the collars on our following 2 dogs: 1) Female Husky, 55 lbs - Lots of hair on neck but have not had an issue making contact with skin. 2) Male Black Lab, 85 lbs. These are not the largest of dogs when compared to a Great Dane, but I believe there is more than enough collar length to accommodate larger breeds. Dogtra does make a collar specifically for smaller breeds and we have one for our Boston Terrier. I hope I have been able to answer your question.

I got the small one for long hair for my Japanese Chin.... beagles have short hair right? Then I would say get the small brush for short hair dogs.Anise

I bought my collar for one of my dogs who weighs about 15 lb. I don't know what her neck size isbut it fit her just fine with adjustment. I think it would probably fit a 14 in. neck ok.

You need to measure your dog's neck & check the CM website for the suitable size collar. I use the "small" on a 40lb staffy, but it's too small for the yellow lab that I walk.

If you order according to neck size of dog it will be fine. Remember your pup will grow fast and the collar is adjustable. However, if you buy the small or medium now, you may need the large by the time the dog is full grown.

The collar pictured is a versatile size and should work well for you. The length is long enough for larger dogs and can be cut shorter for smaller dogs

Just read other responses, I'd check the Cesar Millan site as suggested. That is how I decided. My smaller dog who wears the small is short haired. My medium size one has long hair & a much gentler personality. He is more into the Medium size per fitting info but I think he could wear a small.

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 bought a medium sized collar and it IS adjustable. I would imagine the small one will be too. Just double check with the seller directly to be sure.

Honestly you have to ask the company. They don't put that info in the selling their harness or collars. I had to find out the hard way that if you have a mid-large dog then you might want to choose the harness instead of the collar.

Hi Sandra. Both my dogs are around 18 lbs. The collar is a little big on my female. I am cutting it down to fit. You might have to get a smaller collar, length wise to use it. Just make sure it is the same width.
