Well, I am having quite a time with Chloe and her collars. When I first got Chloe I bought her one and I had to go buy her another Friday. The first one was a 12 inch and the new one is a 14 inch and I have 2 more times to tighten it before it will be to little . So I figure that in about 3 or 4 more weeks I will have to get another one. Should I get a 16 inch or go ahead and get a 18 inch :confused:

I'd get one of those puppy collars that have an insane amount of adjustment. Usually they're made with nylon slides instead of holes.

I was going to do that but at petsmart the adjustable ones have different sizes in them too and I was wanting to get the biggest one that would fit her but still be snug so that it would least last last a couple of months.

How about just a nylon weave one where you just push the pin through the mesh instead of through a specific hole? You could get any lenth you want and it would still fit for quite a while.

I would get the biggest size she could wear without her being able to get it off to easy. But I do not suggest any collar that has the plastic buckles, they break way to easily....

I would go for an adjustable one.
Buy it so it is on the smallest and fits, and then just let it out as she grows.

I'd just get one bigger than you need, and you can create additional holes in the nylon ones, or the one w/out holes sounds good too (where you put the prong through the collar.) I haven't seen that one, but it sounds like a good collar for your situation.

Do you have any suggestions about where to get one of those because I havent seen any around where I live

Next time we go to petsmart if I cant locate the one lpollockandrsn is talking about I will do that.
Thanks for the suggestions :D :D
