Recovery Collar Size Guide
Peek4Paws · Soft Recovery Collar for Dogs & Cats
Measure the neck, not the weight
This collar comes in 4 sizes — XS through L — matched to your pet's actual neck circumference rather than a weight guess. Here's how to measure, and the full size chart.
How to measure
You'll need a soft tape measure and about a minute. Measure where the collar will actually sit — at the base of the neck, where a regular collar would normally go.
Wrap the tape snugly around the base of the neck — this number is what decides your size
Find the spot
Locate the base of your pet's neck, roughly where a regular collar would sit.
Wrap the tape
Run a soft tape measure all the way around — snug, but not pulled tight.
Check the two-finger rule
You should be able to slip two fingers under the tape. That's roughly the fit the collar should have.
Size chart
Match your pet's neck measurement first — weight is a rough cross-check, not the primary number.
XS 10–18 cm, up to 2 kg · S 12–22 cm, up to 5 kg · M 16–29 cm, up to 10 kg · L 19–36 cm, up to 15 kg
Common questions
My pet's between two sizes — which do I pick?
Size up for comfort, especially just after surgery when the neck area can be a little swollen or sensitive. Check the collar sits securely without pressing — you should still be able to slip two fingers underneath.
Will this fit a cat as well as a dog?
Yes — sizing is based on neck circumference, not species, so check your cat or dog's actual measurement against the chart above rather than assuming by species or breed.
