Default Collar width

I'm wondering if anyone is online and can help me :)

I was hoping to order customizable martingales for my two online. I'm at work late today, and am not sure if they have the right size or not.

The only width that sounds like might work for my two is 5/8" thick. That seems really thick. I tried drawing it up, but it's hard to tell without my dogs in front of me.

My dogs are slightly under 16" tall, and weigh around 16 lbs.

Does anyone know if they think that would work? If it helps, I'm looking at these.

I would say yes, 5/8" is fine. Just think of it as a little more than 1/2". The size collar I have Missy wearing is 3/4", and it's fine. I would imagine something 1/8" smaller would work :).

I think Emma's rolled collar is around 5/8", def not much bigger. Liam's snap buckle collar is around 1/2" but he could go up a bit without a problem. I would say the 5/8" is likely fine - both Liam and Emma are close to 16" too.

Thanks so much everyone! Don't tell the pups, though, it's one of their Christmas gifts :)

Liam's getting a new rolled leather collar for his birthday next week, so I'll make sure we don't share with Lexi and Bentley.

I definitely vote for a rolled collar, martingale even better if you can find it, and the thinner the better.

I know that Shannon is not actively producing anymore, but if you can find something comparable to hers, it would be ideal.
