It was great to see Lesley Nicol, who plays Mrs Patmore in Downton Abbey, promoting Medical Detection Dogs on ITV’s Daybreak. If you look closely you’ll see the lovely Medical Detection Dog next to Lesley is wearing a Sky signature collar!
This is all quite timely with the Duchess of Cornwall now also signing up as patron for Medical Detection Dogs.
Check out the full interview here.
When measuring your dog’s neck, include the space for 2 fingers to slide under comfortably in your measurement. Our size guide works on the available holes on the collars, so we would encourage you to aim for a collar size that uses one of the middle holes. The breeds suggested against each size are based on averages. Please measure your dog for accurate sizing – every dog is different! For more information, check out our blog to help you choose the perfect size.

How to measure for our martingale collars:
Use a soft tape to measure the widest part of your dog’s head and neck, keeping it fairly snug. Using the biggest measurement, add 5cm or 2 inches. Now use this new figure when referring to the size chart for the size needed. If you are on the cusp of the 2 sizes we would suggest you size down.
