Collar Size Guide & Care Instructions 🐾
Everything you need to get the perfect fit for your dog and keep your Jacaranda gear looking great for years. Handmade in Orange, NSW — built to last, easy to maintain.
Collar Size Guide
📏 How to measure your dog's neck: Use a soft measuring tape and measure around your dog's neck where the collar would naturally sit — close to behind the ears. Add two fingers for comfort. The collar should be snug but not tight.
The collar length shown in the size chart is the full strap length — not the neck measurement.
| Size | Length / Width | Neck fit | Suited for |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 30cm / 16mm | 14–27cm | Mini Dachshund, Chihuahua, Mini Foxies, Toy Poodles |
| Small | 40cm / 16mm | 23–37cm | Pug, Terriers, Jack Russell, Dachshund, Whippet, medium breed pups |
| Medium | 50cm / 25mm | 25–44cm | Kelpie, Collie, Standard Poodle, Greyhound, French Bulldog, Labradoodle, Spaniel, Schnauzer |
| Large | 60cm / 25mm | 35–53cm | Staffy, Dalmatian, German Shepherd, Cattle Dog, Bull Terrier, Great Dane, Golden Retriever |
| XL | 70cm / 25mm | 42–65cm | Rottweiler, Labrador, Mastiff, Wolfhound |
What does a good fit look like?
🐕 Out in public — active use
Buckle the collar snugly behind the ears. You should be able to slide two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. Secure enough that they can't back out of it.
🏡 At home — everyday wear
You can keep the collar a little looser sitting lower towards the shoulders. At this fit you should be able to slide three fingers between the collar and the neck.
Care & Cleaning Guide
One of the biggest advantages of PVC webbing — it takes about 30 seconds to clean. No soaking, no scrubbing, no special products needed.
💧
After muddy walks
Wipe down with a damp cloth. That's it. PVC doesn't absorb mud so it wipes straight off.
🧼
Deeper cleaning
Hand wash with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before use. No harsh chemicals needed.
📦
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight when not in use. Check hardware regularly for any wear.
Zero returns. Zero faults. Built Tough for Aussie Dogs. 🐾

The catching lead look a fantastic love the vibrant colours great quality so thankyou very much 😊.
Bought the seatbelt ties. They didn't fit in the polaris buggy plugs but perfect for the ute. Love the colours 🎨
Great service, fast delivery and answered all my pesky questions! Excellent quality leads and collars
I have just moved to the coast where I walk the beach most days with my greyhound! She loves the water but cannot be off leash. This long waterproof leash is absolutely perfect for trotting in the waves!
Lightweight, but not TOO light, great colour too! Thanks so much!
I found jacaranda collars at Dubbo show! Bought 4 items,the BEST collars I have ever had. Soft but durable,keep there colour perfectly,don’t get hard and brittle after a few months of wear and tear!
I seen them again at Nyngan ag expo,a few friends bought some things,nothing but good commmets.
Now my entire working crew (8 kelpies) are sporting jacaranda collars!
We LOVE THEM!!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Fantastic products! Very impressed with the hand-made quality. Size guide was accurate and very reasonably priced. Very fast delivery and products look great as well. Highly recommend.
Product is better than expected!
The colour is great, lightweight and delivery was on time!
It took a while to finally find a puppy collar small enough for my toy Cavoodle. Jacaranda sent me the cutest, great quality collar. Thank you
I am SO happy with our order!
I inquired a few times and Jacaranda were extremely efficient with responding and helpful!
We ordered the Martingale collar for both our girls one of them usually needs a face-harness due to pulling like a freight-train, she now does not need it and has drastically improved.
The quality is amazing and is so easy to clean and so bright, I also love how there are so many different colours to choose from.
From,
A very happy customer 😁
Collars and leads arrived really quickly and are of great quality, heaps better than more expensive ones I've previously purchased.
Absolutely love this waterproof set. The neon pink is beautiful and highly visible on my red heeler pup. It's completely weatherproof, incredibly easy to clean, and doesn't get smelly like standard nylon collars. Wonderful to find such a high-quality product made right here in Australia by a small business. The medium size is perfect for a growing puppy. Will definitely buy again!
Absolutely thrilled with our 10-metre Waterproof Long Line Dog Lead in fluoro pink from Jacaranda Collars! Fantastic customer service, incredibly quick and helpful responses, and the quality is absolutely superb.
We live in the city, and unfortunately our little fluff ball can’t safely be off lead. We do, however, have a lovely big oval nearby, and this gives her the freedom to sniff, explore and potter around while still keeping her safely connected to us.
The first time we used it, she couldn’t believe her little fluffy eyes when she looked up and realised we were quite a distance away. For our little 7kg fluff ball, it may be complete overkill, but the peace of mind that comes from knowing she’s attached to such a strong, beautifully made lead is worth every cent.
The fluoro pink is gorgeous, it feels sturdy without being cumbersome, and we honestly couldn’t be happier.
“Zero returns. That’s our record.” That line absolutely sold me, and now that we have the lead in our hands, I can completely see why! Fantastic Australian-made product, wonderful customer service and a business I’d happily recommend.
We give Jacaranda Collars 5-stars, and Miss Ruby gives you five very enthusiastic tail wags and two paws up! 🐾🎀
The collar is great quality. And shipping was very fast. I will definitely purchase again.
I stumbled across Jacaranda Collars when browsing for a new collar for my escape artist doggo, i liked what i saw, placed an order on the Tuesday late at night and i had it at my door by Friday morning!! The green and orange colours are even better than i had expected, i definitely wont be losing my pup anytime soon! Very happy customer, will be purchasing again for sure!!
