The Mellow Collar in Butter Yellow is a limited-edition leather collar in six sizes, XXS to XL, and this guide explains how to choose the size and judge the fit.
What you are choosing

Hardware: brass.
Color: Mellow Butter Yellow, a soft and uplifting tone.
Edition: Mellow Collection, Limited Edition.
Includes: a matching Commitment Bracelet.
Sizes: XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL.
Measuring the neck
Use a soft tape around your dog's neck at the place where the collar will sit, usually high on the neck behind the ears. Do not pull the tape tight. Write down the number, then compare it with the size information on the page. The listing names six sizes but gives no measurements for them in the description.
Picking between sizes
Between two sizes: think about leather, which softens with wear; start with a comfortable, not loose, fit.
Fluffy coat: feel the neck rather than the fur.
Growing dog: a puppy may outgrow a collar quickly, so choose with that in mind.
Tiny dogs: XXS and XS are the sizes for the smallest necks.
The fit check
Fasten the collar and slide two fingers underneath. It should not slip over the head, and it should not press on the throat. Watch your dog walk and play to see that the collar sits still.
Why Butter Yellow
Butter Yellow is soft rather than neon, so it looks pretty on dark coats and subtle on light ones. Being a limited edition, it may not stay available for long, so check the options if you plan to order.
