Dog Collars and Leashes for Small Dogs

Small dogs deserve gear that is secure, lightweight and perfectly balanced for their size. Choosing the right width matters — especially for dogs under 15 kg.

At LUIDO Pet Gear, our small dog collars and leashes are designed to provide safety without unnecessary bulk. The correct width ensures comfort around the neck while maintaining strength and durability for daily walks.

Whether you have a toy breed or a lightweight medium-small dog, proper gear improves control and overall comfort.

Recommended Width for Small Dogs (Up to 15 kg)

For dogs up to 15 kg we recommend:

Collar width: 13 mm
Leash width: 9 mm

This combination offers:

✔ Lightweight feel
✔ Strong and secure construction
✔ Comfortable fit for smaller necks
✔ Reliable everyday control

If your dog does not pull excessively, this width is ideal for daily use.

Why Width Matters for Small Dogs

Small breeds often have more delicate neck structures. A collar that is too wide or heavy can:

Create unnecessary pressure
Reduce comfort
Look disproportionate
Limit natural movement

A properly sized 13 mm collar distributes pressure evenly while staying lightweight and balanced.

When Should You Choose a Wider Collar?

While weight is a good guideline, temperament also matters.

Consider a stronger width if your dog:

Pulls strongly on the leash
Is highly energetic
Has a muscular build despite lower weight

Safety always comes first. When in doubt, choosing slightly stronger gear is recommended.
