1) How do I know what size dog collar to choose?
Dog Collars are essential to keeping your dog safe during walks, runs or other outdoor activities! Ranch Hand makes choosing the right sized collar very easy by sizing our dog collars based on the hole length instead of the overall length. This takes the guess work out of which collar works for your dog!
Here is Ranch Hand Store’s recommendations for measuring your dog’s neck and which size will fit:
Step 1 ) Measure your dog’s neck with a string, then lay the string out next to a ruler or measuring tape
Step 2) Match your dog’s neck measurement to the below dog collar sizing chart below.
- X Small – 8 – 11 inches (shortest to longest holes)
- Small – 13 – 17 inches (shortest to longest holes)
- Medium – 18- 22 inches (shortest to longest holes)
- Large – 20– 25 inches (shortest to longest holes)
- X Large – 20– 27 inches (shortest to longest holes)
Each dog collar page will have measurements available on product page or you can visit our Dog Collar Sizing page for more details. Keep in mind that all of our dog collars are handmade and some measurements may vary slightly.
2) Can I return my collar if it doesn’t fit?
We offer a Happy Dog guarantee at Ranch Hand! But it is very important that you follow our measurement guidelines before purchasing your next collar for your doggo so we can get the right size the first time. Ranch Hand is happy to offer a replacement collar within 14 days of purchase. Please return the original collar in its unused state and we will issue a replacement collar with the correct size. We do not refund our shipping charges and sale items are final sale. But, we get it, things happen!

3) How do I clean my leather product from Ranch Hand?
Ranch Hand’s dog collars are low-maintenance and easy to use. They are built to be used and made to last. To ensure long-term durability it is never a bad idea to condition your leather dog collar periodically. When leather is exposed to the elements it can become worn down and dry over time, to prevent this Ranch Hand recommends conditioning your leather products from time to time. This is true for headstalls and dog collars. There are tons of great cleaning and conditioning products for leather. There are some great options that are non-toxic, cost effective and work great on a variety of leather products. Visit our Leather Care page for more instructions.

6) What kind of leather is used?
We use two kinds of full grain leather – cow hide and buffalo hide. All of our dog collars are made with cowhide leather ad our headstalls are made with either buffalo hide or cow hide. The leather is tanned by the process of vegetable tanning. But, you can rest assured all of our leather is genuine full grain. Full Grain leather is the strongest and most durable leather. It has slight imperfections that give it character and you can feel and see a grain to it. It also lasts longer and is resistant to wear and tear.
