A Jack Russell collar is one of the most important dog essentials that you will buy as it is a legal requirement in UK. A collar will identify your dog, be used to attach the lead for training and also be used for grabbing your dog if he escapes! There are many different styles and materials that you can get a collar in. Some people even like to have more than one collar and they also serve as fashion accessories as well as for practical use! We have been looking for the best collars for Jack Russells on the internet and here’s what we’ve found.
Table could not be displayed.It’s important to measure your dogs neck with a tape measure when choosing a collar. As a general rule, a collar needs to fit snugly on your dog. It should be tight enough to not slip over the dogs head, but loose enough get two fingers down in between it.
A medium leather or nylon collar around 1 inch in thickness will be perfect for a Jack Russell. Avoid chain collars and collars for special breeds such as Greyhound and Staffy collars which would be too thick. It’s important to choose a Jack Russell Collar with a metal attachment loop which is much more sturdy than plastic ones which may break.
Leather Jack Russell Collar
The next thing to consider is what material to choose. We usually go for a leather collar for our Jack Russells. We find them hard wearing and breathable. A sturdy and well made dog collar is unlikely to suffer as much wear and tear as a fabric one and can last a Jack Russell his whole life.

You might also like to order a name tag for your dogs collar. In the UK, legally a dog has to have a collar, ID tag (with owners address or contact details) and has to be microchipped. Blake has a bone shaped ID tag which looks lovely on his brown leather collar. You can buy a personalised dog tag on Amazon for less than £5
