Festive Heritage Dog Bow

Q: Do dogs in the UK need engraved collars by law?

Yes. The Control of Dogs Order 1992 requires a collar and identification tag with the owner's name and address when in a public place. Snazzy Pooch engraved collars satisfy this — no separate tag needed.

Q: My dog is between two sizes — which should I choose?

For harnesses, always size up. For collars, choose the smaller size if your measurement is near the bottom of the larger size range.

Breed-specific size tips

Labrador

Broad chest and powerful shoulders. Many Labs fill out until 18–24 months. No-Pull or padded harnesses recommended. Check chest room over winter coats.

Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Muscular neck and deep chest. Choose sturdy, padded harnesses and avoid rubbing under the forelegs. If between sizes on chest, always go up.

French Bulldog

Stocky frame with short neck. Avoid pressure on the throat — a Comfort Fit harness spreads load across the chest. Watch chest width carefully.

Dachshund

Long backs and narrower fronts. Step-In harnesses keep pressure off the spine. Ensure the chest strap sits lower and does not rub the underarm.

Cockapoo & Cavapoo

Fluff can hide fit — re-measure after grooming. Adjustable Step-In or No-Pull harnesses suit energetic walks. Full grown by 12–18 months.

Golden Retriever

Feathered coats need adjustability. No-Pull or Comfort Fit ideal for adolescence when pulling is common. Check fit seasonally.

Beagle

Active scent hounds — choose secure Step-In or Comfort Fit. Measure snug to prevent backing out when following a scent.

Jack Russell

High-energy escape artists. A snug Step-In or No-Pull harness helps control zig-zagging. Double-check chest fit regularly.

Shih Tzu & Chihuahua

Small frames need light hardware and soft webbing. Avoid bulky fittings near joints. Step-In harnesses are safest for Chihuahuas.

Border Collie & German Shepherd

Athletic working builds. Front-clip options assist with heel training. Coats change seasonally — re-check fit every few months.

Frequently asked questions

How do I measure my dog for a harness?

Measure the neck just above the front shoulder blades below where a collar sits, and the widest part of the chest behind the front legs. Keep the tape snug but not tight — you should be able to fit two fingers underneath. The chest measurement is the most important for harness sizing.

What size collar does my dog need?

Match your dog's neck measurement to our collar size ranges. If between sizes, choose the larger for comfort. Always measure your dog's neck directly rather than measuring an existing collar — collars stretch over time and will not be accurate.

Do dogs in the UK need engraved collars by law?

Yes. The Control of Dogs Order 1992 requires a collar with the owner's name and address when in a public place. Our personalised engraved collars satisfy this requirement — your dog's name and your contact details are engraved directly onto the collar, so no separate tag is needed.

Which harness style is best for my breed?

Active pullers benefit from a front-clip No-Pull harness. Smaller breeds and dogs who dislike things over their head often prefer Step-In styles. Dachshunds should always use a Step-In or chest harness to protect their long spine. Use the interactive tool above for a tailored recommendation.

My dog is between two sizes — which should I choose?

For harnesses, always size up — a slightly larger harness can be adjusted snugly, while a too-small harness cannot be adjusted at all and can cause discomfort. For collars, choose the smaller size if your measurement is near the bottom of the larger size's range, as collars should fit snugly.

Can I personalise every product?

Yes — every collar and harness can be personalised with your dog's name, your phone number or postcode, your choice of font, and hardware colour. Each piece is made to order specifically for your dog.

What if my breed isn't listed in the size tool?

Select "Other breed" and enter your dog's actual measurements — neck, chest and weight — for accurate sizing. If you're unsure, contact us and we'll help you find the right fit.

When to size up or down

If your measurement sits at the very end of a size range, size up for harnesses and choose the smaller band for collars. Always check chest room for deep-chested or stocky breeds like Staffies and French Bulldogs.

Troubleshooting fit

Rubbing near the forelegs? Lower the chest strap or try a Step-In. Collar rotating or slipping? Adjust smaller or try a narrower strap width. Pulling on walks? A front-clip No-Pull harness can significantly help with heel training.
