Martingale Collars as shit tzu Collars
some shit tzu dogs and puppies are able to slip out of a collar when
they pull away from a leash or away from someone holding their collar.
For these dogs, a martingale collar is recommended to keep them from
slipping out of their collar and running away.
What size of collar is best for a shit tzu?
Most shit tzus need a 10-14" collar, Please measure your dog for the
best fit. If you are buying a collar for your shit tzu puppy, please
let us know the puppy's current neck size and expected mature neck size
(average parents sizes, if that information is available) and we will
do our best to makre sure the collar can be adjusted to grow with him.
Below are listed the most common collars bought by shit tzu owners, see
selection of other size collars if neccessary.
Are martingale collars strong enough for a
Standard shit tzu ? If properly fitted, absolutely.
Will your collars irritate my shit tzu 's
skin or pull hairs? Martingale collars are
less likely to pull hairs than choke chains, but can still irritate the
area if the dog pulls consistently. An advantage of a martingale collar
in this area, however, is that instead of staying tight all the time
and consistenly pulling hairs and rubbing sore spots, the martingale
hangs slightly looser when not in use. This feature allows skin to
breathe while your pet remains safe and wearing identification. (Please
note, martingale collars should be adjusted so that when the martingale
loop is pulled, the collar tightens around the neck but does not choke)
