I have a 14lb pug that wears a small size collar. Should I buy this product or the size up? Can the collar be adjusted?

The collar is adjustable. When fastened on the last hole possible, the collar is 10 inches in diameter. I suggest measuring your pug's neck prior to purchasing (save yourself the trouble of returning it if it doesn't work)Hope this helps :-)

My dog is a 13 pound Youkie/Toy Poodle cross. If memory serves me correctly... I measured her neck according to the instructions. The collar is adjustable to an extent: the jewels don't cover the entire outer surface so... It needs to be sized correctly. Good luck! The collar is high quality, durable and dazzling/brilliant in sunlight.

Hi Julie! I have a 6 lb morkie. I had to put the collar in the tightest notch. Yes it is adjustable and **very well made. "Star" has had hers for over 6 mos and it is like new. I am very happy with the collar. I think the small will work for your pug... Although they do tend to have fairly large necks :)

I brought this collar for my sister's cat. The cat's nexk measures 9" loosely. The collar is hooked on the second hole, and there is one hole that can make it tighter, and two holes to make it larger. The holes are spaced 5/8", so if you can measure your dog's neck, you can see if it's fits.

I have a long-haired miniature dachsund and the collar ended up being a little too big on her. Its difficult to adjust as well.

I used it on a 14lb dog. The collar adjusted down to fit. 8lb? Not sure. You can take the unit off the collar that I comes with and put it on another collar if you want. It just has to be as wide (I think 1/2 inch?)

In my opinion this collar would be a little much for a 5 lb dog. My dog is a 50 lb pitbull and it fits her pretty good. My recommendation would be to contact PetSafe to see if they have a smaller one for your doggie. I hope this helps.

The holes on the collar go almost all the way around, so you can tighten it up as much as you need. My dogs are just under 7 lbs and it will work on them.

Well I ordered the product anyway and figured if the collars didnt fit I would make adjustments somehow. Well for my 7 lb yorkie the fit is ok it's a bit big on the shortest setting but its fine. It moves around a bit but is not completely too loose to use. For the 8 lb cockapoo the shortest setting is also ok. the instructions say not to have the prongs touching the neck anyway so the shortest collar setting is fine for both my small dogs! Hope that helps!

The dog I purcahed this for is on the small side.i cinched up all to max tightness around his chest. This size should work for your dogs if you lest loose settings all the way.

I think it might be a bit too big for a 7lb dog. You should contact Dogtra and ask them if they have smaller collars for smaller dogs.

I have a pug that is about 17 lbs and I have the x-small for him. Hope this helps.

I think the collars are supposed to be one-size-fits all. You can adjust it quite a bit. My dog is about 90 lbs, and it just fits him. You cannot adjust the shock intensity on these. The Invisible Fence guy who serviced our fence said you can adjust it on theirs. However, I accidentally shocked myself, and it's not too bad. Enough to be unpleasant and tingle for a minute or two afterward, but not too bad.

Measure your dog's neck (loosely) and order a collar 1-1/2-2" larger than neck size, if between sizes go UP, rather than down in size. It should not fit snugly until pulled. It can be TOO TIGHT, but never too loose.

The small also fits my 35 lb. labradoodle. His is neck is about 15" around. I have adjusted the collar to almost the largest it will go. I first ordered the medium collar based on his weight... and it was big and heavy! I would have had to adjust the medium-sized collar to the smallest it would go... then there would have been a lot of extra strap just hanging there. SO, I am really happy with the small (and almost the biggest it will go)! I'm not familiar with a Shiba Inu, but I hope you find this helpful! PS. I also have free shipping/returns w Amazon Prime...

Our schnauzer weighs around 15 pounds and we had a medium size collar for him and it worked really well. It wasn't too tight but still kept him from getting to his stomach where his incision was located. The e-collar also attaches to a collar, so even if it is a little big it should not be a problem. I think it'd be safer to go with a larger size than too small.

The collar inflates like a donut. The size small keeps my 18 lb dog from accessing an incision on his stomach. Assuming the collar is proportional, it should work well. If not, Amazon's return policy should take it back if not working as intended.

I have a pug that weighs about 22 pounds and he wears a small. I would think an extra small would be better for your dog.

I agree with Cindy about the proper fit as our dog definitely responds. You do have to be sure the collar is making the proper contact with the dog's neck. Good luck

I have a 20lb male Pug and the small fit ok around the belly but the collar was way too short and wouldn't fit around his neck. Going to get the medium.
