How to Measure for an E-Collar Strap
There are a few different relevant measurements to consider when selecting the correct size e-collar strap: length, width, and thickness.
E-Collar Strap Adjustable Size Length
Using a flexible tape measure, measure your dog's neck where you want the e-collar to sit. This is typically at the top of the dog's neck, right behind the ears. Measure 3 times to be sure you are getting a consistent measurement.
Once you have your dog's neck size where you want the e-collar to sit, add enough room for the e-collar receiver to your measurement. Most receivers add about 2 inches to the neck measurement, though this does vary by model. If you use a double brick setup, be sure to add enough room for both receivers.
This dog's neck measures 14 inches. For a single receiver setup, adding the 2 inches for the receiver brings the measurement to 16 inches. Therefore, the 14 - 18 inch adjustable size length e-collar strap is a perfect fit for this dog.
What if My Dog is Between the Available Size Ranges?
If your dog is between sizes, or if you just want more room for adjusting, we are happy to customize the range.
When ordering, select the next size up, or the option that includes the largest size you'd like included. In the order notes, let us know how small you'd like the adjustment range to go.
E-Collar Strap Width
Another important measurement to consider is the width of the e-collar strap. They are available in 3/4 inch wide and 1 inch wide.
For example, E-Collar Technologies Micro and Mini Educator both require a 3/4 inch wide strap. The Dogtra 280x also requires a 3/4 inch wide strap. The Dogtra ARC requires a 1 inch wide strap.
Be sure to choose the correct width strap for your particular model receiver.
E-Collar Strap Thickness
Lastly with sizing is the strap thickness. E-collar straps are made with standard biothane, at approximately 0.100 inches thick.
The biothane should easily slide through the side slots of the receiver. The back slot of some receivers have slimmer margins for straps. Since biothane can have slight variations in thickness, this can sometimes make it a bit tricky to get the biothane through the back part of the receiver for those with dexterity challenges. If this is the case, you can run the biothane over, rather than through the back part of the receiver, as long as it is through both of the side slots.
These e-collar straps are not compatible with Garmin collars, as they will not fit standard thickness biothane in any of the slots.
