Dallas Collar in Pink & Purple: Choosing the Right Size

Use the Dallas Collar's four size options and your dog's neck measurement to pick a safe, comfortable fit in the limited Pink and Purple colorways.
Quick answer
Measure your dog's neck at the widest point and add about two fingers of room, then choose the Dallas Collar size that brackets that measurement. The 16-inch and 18-inch options use a 3/4-inch width, while the 20-inch and 22-inch options step up to 1-inch and 1.5-inch widths.
Why the Dallas Collar's width changes with size
The Dallas Collar pairs neck length with width: the two smaller sizes are 3/4 inch wide, the 20-inch size is 1 inch wide, and the 22-inch size is 1.5 inches wide. That progression matters because a wider collar spreads pressure over more of the neck, which suits larger, stronger dogs, while a narrower band keeps small dogs comfortable and less restricted.
If your dog sits at the top of one size range, compare the next size up before deciding. A longer collar with extra adjustment can be tightened, but a collar that is too short cannot be made longer.
The trade-off: color choice versus size availability
Pink and Purple are limited colorways, so your preferred color may not be available in every size. Decide early whether size or color is the fixed requirement. A safe fit should always come first; if your dog's measured size is sold out in Pink, check Purple or the standard Dallas Collar rather than sizing up or down to get the color you want.
When a different collar makes more sense
The Dallas Collar sizing is built around breed examples such as Boston Terrier, Jack Russell, French Bulldog, Pug, Collie, and Aussie Shepherd. Dogs with very thick necks, very small necks, or a need for a specific buckle type may fall outside those brackets. In that case, measure carefully and compare against other collar options rather than forcing a Dallas size.
Decision rules for picking your Dallas Collar size
- Measure before you choose a color: Wrap a soft tape measure around the widest part of your dog's neck, then add about two fingers of slack. Write down the number before browsing Pink or Purple. A collar that fits correctly is worth more than a color that is temporarily unavailable.
- Match the measurement to the size bracket: Choose 16" x 3/4" for necks around the Boston Terrier or Jack Russell range, 18" x 3/4" for French Bulldog or Pug range, 20" x 1" for Collie or Aussie Shepherd range, and 22" x 1.5" for dogs at the upper end of those builds. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger size and use the adjustment to tighten it.
- Decide whether width or color is non-negotiable: If you need the 1.5-inch width for a strong dog, accept that Pink and Purple availability may be limited in that size. If color is the priority, confirm the size first and treat the color as the second decision. Never size down to get a color; a too-small collar can restrict movement and sit uncomfortably.
