The smallest is 2.25 mm x 16 in, the Medium is 3 mm x 22 in, and the largest is 4.0 mm x 25 in. Buyers who need a different wire thickness or overall length can look at the other three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to check before you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe neck size is the deciding number: the manufacturer gives it as up to 19 inches (48 cm), while the collar itself runs 23 inches (58 cm) in total length. Anyone whose dog measures beyond 19 inches around the neck is past this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer does not recommend the collar for light colour dogs, so a pale-coated dog is a reason to choose something else. The prong tips are slightly beveled and the links are interlocking, each carrying two blunt prongs; the centre plate holds the links so that pressure is applied evenly around the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure the neck and compare it with the 19 in (48 cm) upper limit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNote the coat colour, since light colour dogs are excluded by the manufacturer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllow for the 23 in (58 cm) overall length of the collar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePutting the collar on and fitting it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe quick release buckle opens so the collar can be placed and removed, and the links also slip over the dog's head for on and off. The manufacturer's direction is a snug fit just below the ears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLength is adjusted by adding or removing links: up to 4 links can go either way, and spare links are sold separately. With four links out the collar is shorter, and with four added it is longer than the 23 inches it arrives at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe links, the prongs and the centre plate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterlocking links form the body of the collar, and each link has two blunt prongs with slightly beveled tips. Removing links shortens the collar by roughly one link at a time, and adding them lengthens it, within the limit of four in either direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe centre plate is the piece that keeps the links lined up so that pressure sits evenly around the neck. Chrome plated steel gives the collar its silver colour, and the whole collar measures 58.4 x 0.3 x 0.1 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions buyers ask about this pinch collar\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat neck size does this collar fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is for dogs with a neck size up to 19 inches (48 cm).
