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.

Sorry for the delay, I don't check my mail regularly. I ordered the medium for my 25 pound small dog and had to remove 4 of the links.Which left 6. These can always be added back in later if needed. My dog pulls really hard and this size works well for that. Her regular neck collar is 14 inches. I hope this helps you some. I also had trouble deciding which size I needed.

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

I used it on my adult great dane with no problems. He has short hair so i don't know how well it would work on a dog with long hair. The collar is plenty long enough for him but im not sure it would be with long fur.

The collars are pretty long. They are plastic/rubber. You just cut to fit with scirrors. It has holes from beginning to end to fit. I have belgian sheepdogs. My female is 46lbs and my male 60lbs. Hope that helps. I have tried two other brands of ecollars these are the best. I like the vibrate option on the control

I'd go with medium then. I just got medium because I have a little 14 point dog (shitzu Maltese mix) and I get her a 14 to 16 inch length collar. So when I emailed them saying that, they said to go with the medium.

I have a 50lb, 20 month old German Shorthair and it fits him with PLENTY of room to grow. If anything, it's too big because the excess just flops around. I love this e collar and it is 100% worth the money. It has completely changed how we hunt together. Hope that helps! Email me with any more questions... Bjcoyne@mail.usf.edu

I have a year old puppy with a 13 inch neck and I ordered a medium. It ran a little big but there was plenty of room to make it smaller. I ordered a large for my GSP adult male and had to size that to fit as well. My guess is they run large but are easily sized to fit your dog as needed. A puppy is going to grow but an adult dog will stay true to size. Hope that helps. We love our collars!

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...

well I measure my dog...he is 15- 15 1/2...I got the small they are adjustable...and I have a real hard time getting the two connections together...Dog doesn't want to wait...I think I would go medium and adjust...I have a mina. austrailian shepard...and full of hair so it is doubly difficult to attach...It is worth it however, as it does change the walk...like it...I forget what size the medium fits...

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.

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.

I have an 85 lb. Akita and the 20" collar just barely fits around her neck. It is summertime and she is shaved; during the fall/winter months when her fur grows back, this will not fit her.

I think this collar is definitely too large for them! Dogtra makes ecollars specifically for smaller dogs so I would look those up. I have a 65 lb lab and I had to cut about eight inches off of the collar due to it being so long. However, it fits my 110 lb lab perfectly :]

I would recomend Large. My dog had a 19' neck and the large fit great with room to grow. They are really nice collars.Hope this helps!

If your dog is not likely to be growing into a thicker neck, I would think (but can't be certain) that the small, which claims to go up to 12" and is only 3/4" wide might be the better choice. Otherwise you will have a lot of extra loop hanging down (which dog could get caught on). I have only had experience with the 1" wide large & medium collars. Good luck to you and your canine pal!

Measure your dogs neck. Then order. I ordered a small for my cat and I just love it on her. It does smell funny when you first get it , but the smell goes away. I love this collar it is so beautiful.
