Measuring Tips: We recommend measuring your pet in their natural sleeping position to find the perfect bed size. When in doubt, size up - no one likes falling out of bed! There are no standard collar sizes. As a result, we strongly recommend measuring your dog's neck to ensure the right collar size.
Measuring Tips : Measure your pup's neck with a soft tape measure, pulling the tape snug but not tight if you don't have a tape measure, use a piece of string and then measure the string with a ruler. Allow sufficient room to slip two fingers between the collar and your pup's neck. Size: Height: 15 - 17 inches Weight: 10 - 25 lbs. Miniature Schnauzer Avg.
