Buying the Right Size Dog Collar

Along with other things that I keep in my cell phone, like hubby's shoe size, friend's birthdates, gym lock combination (don't use that often enough to remember!) I note (in inches) my dog's collar size. I tend to impulse buy things for my three dogs, so I keep that info handy. Should you have a growing puppy in the house, keep a strand of yarn that's longer than what you've measured around his or her neck in your purse or wallet and mark and keep it as your pup is growing. This is helpful as you gauge what the next size up collaryour dog will need.
