As Happy Pooch is run by only one person, taking into account all items are completely custom and made to order, it naturally takes longer to process orders. Where other businesses have several people focusing on fewer tasks, Happy Pooch only has one person(Hello, I’m Maja, nice to meet you 👋) to run this show.

All of our items are custom, handmade from start to finish, based on your provided measurements and choices of colour, hardware, and style.

What size you’ll need to order depends on your dog’s size and weight.

Collars

Our collars are measured laid flat, making an o-ring of a soft measurement tape. That way providing a true to size measurement. Take the style of collar and your dog’s Head/Neck measurements into account when choosing a size.

DECORATIVE COLLARS

This style of collar slips over your pooch’s head. So order a size that’s at least equal to your pooch’s head girth( the thickest girth around their head).

COLLARS WITH SNAP/BUCKLE

This style of collar should not slip over your pooch’s head. So go for a size that’s smaller than your dog’s head girth measurement but possibly an inch(2 cm) larger than their neck measurement.

CHAIN MARTINGALES

Martingales are measured with the chain closed. Go for a size that’s at least a little smaller(an inch, 2 cm) smaller than your dog’s neck measurement. Cotton rope is a natural material and will adjust somewhat to your dog as you use the collar. Hence the recommendation to select a size that’s a little smaller than the neck measurement.

ADJUSTABLE MARTINGALES

Our adjustable rope martingales are measured open, at it’s largest size. We recommend a size that’s approx 1,5″/3-4 cm larger than your dog’s neck girth(halfway down their neck). The extra length will approximately equal to how long the slip section will be.

EXAMPLE

Our mascot Teemo measures 27 cm neck girth and 30 cm head girth. His slip-over decorative rope collars are made size 30 cm. Collars featuring a buckle are made size 28-29 cm and martingales 26 cm.

Some tips, tricks and suggestions

HARNESSES

Cut strips of paper based on the measurements you’ve taken of your dog and tape together a “paper harness” on your pupper. This way, you’ll be able to tell if a measurement is incorrect.

APPAREL

It is highly suggested to order something cheaper to start if you’re concerned you haven’t measured your dog correctly. Something like the classic fleece tank-top.
