FAQs
MEASURING, SIZING, & PRODUCT CARE
Take a soft measuring tape and measure the circumference of your pet's neck, close to the shoulder where the collar will sit.
When you take the measurement, the tape measure should be loose enough to fit one or two fingers comfortably underneath. Make sure that the tape can't slip over your cat’s ears. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, use a piece of string, mark your cat's neck measurement, and then measure the string against a ruler.
Alternatively, if your cat has a collar that already fits perfectly, lay it out flat and measure from the buckle to your pet's preferred buckle hole.
All Clothes for Cats cat collars are sized in inches from the first to the last hole.
For a perfect fit, try to select a collar size range that your cat's neck measurement sits in the middle of. For example if your cat's neck measurement was 9", then a 8-10" sized collar will provide a perfect fit.
When choosing a collar for a kitten remember to choose one that is fully adjustable and provides lots of growing room to ensure comfort. All Clothes for Cats cat collars have five or more buckle holes so you can find a snug and comfortable fit.
Although it is recommended that you should always measure your pet before purchasing a new collar you may wish to check the breed guide for an idea of what size your pet will need.
Still a perfect fit? After wearing a new collar for a short time, check your cat’s neck. If your cat has any redness or hair loss under the collar then adjust the collar to make it bigger. It is especially important to regularly check the fit of a kitten's collar, as they can out-grow a collar quickly.
Because every pet is different with a unique body shape, it is important to ensure that new pet clothes fit properly. Check that you can fit two fingers under the neck, that the chest is not too tight or restrictive, and that the garment is not too long near the tail as it will get dirty when they sit down.
COLLARS
Imitation-leather pet collars can be wiped clean with a damp soft cloth and mild soap.
Fabric collars can be hand washed with mild soap
CLOTHING
Most pet clothes can be washed at 30 degrees in a gentle wash. If they feature embellishments they should be hand washed in warm water. All clothes should be hang-dried. Individual product pages give details of garment care.
