Compare the 1", 1.5", and 1.75" Everyday Collars to choose the right width for your dog's size, activity level, and gear needs.
Quick answer
For most dogs, the 1" Everyday Collar is the easiest all-around choice: it's light, comfortable, and works for small to large breeds. Choose the 1.5" if you want more surface area for daily wear or a slightly more substantial feel, and the 1.75" if you prefer a wider profile for working dogs or larger frames.
Why width matters more than you think
Collar width affects comfort, weight distribution, and how well the collar stays in place during activity. A narrower collar is lighter and less noticeable, which suits dogs that wear it all day. A wider collar spreads pressure over a larger area, which can be more comfortable for strong pullers or dogs with sensitive necks, but it also adds bulk.
The Everyday Collar series comes in three widths—1", 1.5", and 1.75"—all designed for daily use. The right pick depends on your dog's size, coat, and what you attach to the collar.
The trade-off between lightness and surface area
The 1" collar is the lightest option, making it a good fit for small breeds or dogs that are sensitive to bulk. The 1.5" adds noticeable surface area without feeling overly wide, which can help with weight distribution if your dog pulls. The 1.75" is the widest and most substantial, offering the most surface area but also the most bulk—it may feel like too much for a small or fine-boned dog.
None of these collars are padded, so if you need extra cushioning for a dog with neck sensitivity, you may want to look at padded options or consult your vet.
Key trade-offs at a glance
- 1" Everyday Collar: Lightest and least bulky; best for small breeds or dogs that dislike wide collars. Less surface area for pressure distribution. If your dog is under 20 lbs or has a short coat, start here.
- 1.5" Everyday Collar: Balanced width for medium to large dogs; more surface area than 1" but less bulk than 1.75". A versatile middle choice. Good for daily walks and training when you want a bit more presence.
- 1.75" Everyday Collar: Widest option for large or strong dogs; maximum surface area but heaviest and bulkiest. May overwhelm small frames. Choose this if your dog is over 50 lbs or you prefer a wide, working-dog look.
Everyday Collar width options
- Everyday Collar 1.5": 1.5" width, designed for everyday use with a sleek design. A middle-ground width that adds surface area without the bulk of the widest option.
Everyday Collar 1.5" - Everyday Collar 1.75": 1.75" width, the widest in the Everyday Collar series. Provides the most surface area for larger or stronger dogs, but may be too wide for small breeds.
Everyday Collar 1.75" - Everyday Collar 1": 1" width, the narrowest Everyday Collar option. Lightest and least bulky, ideal for small dogs or those new to wearing a collar.
Which width is right for your dog?
Best for
- Small breeds (under 20 lbs) or puppies: 1" width
- Medium to large dogs (20–50 lbs) or everyday wear: 1.5" width
- Large or strong dogs (over 50 lbs) or working dogs: 1.75" width
Not for
- Dogs with very short coats or sensitive skin may find wider collars irritating—consider a padded collar instead.
- Dogs that are between sizes: always measure your dog's neck and check the collar's size chart before ordering.
