Monster Yetis Dog Collar: Sizing and Everyday Use Tips

Quick answer

Measure your dog's neck at its widest point, add about two fingers of room, and choose the Monster Yetis Dog Collar size that puts that measurement in the middle of its range. Then check the fit weekly and rinse the Ecoweave strap whenever it looks dirty.

Step-by-step: measure, fit, and care for the collar

1. Measure the neck with a soft tape: Wrap a flexible tape around the widest part of the neck, just behind the ears and above the shoulders, and record the number in inches. Common mistake: measuring over a thick winter coat or a harness, which adds bulk that is not there on a normal walk. Measure twice on a calm dog and write the number down before you open the size list.
2. Match the measurement to the listed size range: Compare your number with the sizes shown on the Monster Yetis product page and choose the range where your measurement sits near the middle. Common mistake: picking a size at the very end of its range, which leaves no room to loosen the collar later. If the measurement falls on a boundary, choose the next size up.
3. Put the collar on and run the two-finger check: Fasten the collar, then slide two flat fingers under the strap at the side of the neck. You should feel light pressure, not a tight squeeze. Common mistake: testing only at the buckle, where the strap naturally sits looser than at the side. Check both sides of the neck, not just the front.
4. Watch the bottle opener and hardware: With the collar on, confirm the built-in bottle opener and buckle sit flat and do not dig into the throat when your dog lowers its head. Common mistake: leaving the opener rotated inward after fastening, which can rub during a long walk. Rotate the opener to the outside of the neck before every walk.
5. Recheck the fit weekly and after grooming: Slip two fingers under the strap once a week, and again after a bath or a haircut, since wet or trimmed fur changes how the collar sits. Common mistake: assuming a collar that fit at adoption still fits months later. Add a weekly two-finger check to your walk routine.
6. Rinse the Ecoweave strap and dry the hardware: Wipe or rinse the recycled strap with mild soap and water when it looks soiled, then dry the metal opener and buckle with a cloth. Common mistake: soaking the collar for hours or leaving it damp, which dulls the hardware and stiffens the strap. Air-dry fully before the next walk, and inspect the stitching at the same time.
