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

The collars might be kind of large for a 20 to 30 pound dog. My two dogs are 54 to 58 pounds, and the collars are the right size for them. I have also seen 30 to 40 pound dogs in these collars and that seems OK. You can cut the collar part to any length, so that's not the issue. The issue is the shocker part is about 2.5 inches long by 1.5 inches wide by 1 inch deep. That part might be too big and heavy for a smaller dog. On the other hand, these collars are great!

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

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!

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.

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.

You can get very small collars for small dogs. Larger dogs can use the regular size, and they come with short and long prongs depending on the dogs fur depth.

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 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.

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.

I has seen there were different sizes. Is that correct? I have two 75 -80 pound dogs do you have the appropriate size that would be designed for them or is it one size fits all collars?

Hi Greg. They fit my 25 lbs dogs fine. The collars are super long. I had to cut quite a bit off the end because it was hitting my dogs in the face.

I think I would go with the small. I have 2 dogs, one has a small, the other a medium. The measurement is at the base of the neck, NOT the one up by the ears. The larger of my two [got the M] has 15 1/2 in neck at the lower point, and there is a LONG amount of collar-tail left over once it was fitted to him. The M is heavier / wider 'stuff' as well. My smaller one is a strong-willed loud-screaming male, and he was well-controlled with this. As a side note, I still swap back with an older gentle leader [head type] for ease/speed of use much of the time.

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.

My dog is a German shephard and the collar did not work. I'm assuming it is because I read another review that said the collar needs to have close skin contact and I won't shave my dogs neck. I would try another collar if I were you

My collars are used on my hunting beagles. It may look a little big but it does not weigh that much. I have to use the last hole in the collar, due to the GPS antenna on top, on my smaller females but they have never lost one in the brush. My beagles are 12 1/2" to 14" at the shoulders. The DC40 might be required for the terrier since they usually have smaller heads than a beagle.

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.
