Wrap the puppy band around the pup's neck leaving enough room to insert a finger between the collar and the pup. The band should be wrapped and attached evenly to avoid leaving a pointed edge exposed, as this can cause irritation.
Check the bands daily and adjust as needed. Move up to the next size if necessary as the puppy grows.
Hand wash with soap and water as needed.
To get the most accurate size collar for your furry best friend, measure the center of their neck a with a cloth tape measure, a few inches down from their head. Pull the tape snug, but not tight. If you don't have a tape measure, you can also use a piece of string and measure it with a rigid ruler afterwards. Make sure there’s enough room for about two fingers between the collar and your pup’s neck.
We recommend if you have a toy breed or small dog, add an inch to the neck measurement. For medium and large dogs, add two inches to the neck measurement. It is recommended that ALL breeds start with the 8-inch size. Please follow the chart below for puppies over 10-14 days old.
| Size | Recommended Breed Size |
|---|---|
| 8-inch | Newborn Puppies |
| 12-inch | Small - Medium |
| 14-inch | Medium - Large |
| 16-inch | Large - Giant |

I bought these identification collars when my Chloe became pregnant after sneaking out the window. I figured she would have nothing but black cats like her mother did and I was right (6!! And 4 are pure black!!). These bands are very soft Velcro and perfect for any newborn, however they're a bit too thick for a newborn kitten. I solved this by cutting them in half length wise. Other than that, they're perfect for telling apart kittens and they worked very well for me!!

I love the ease of use and a quick way to identify a litter but the edges of the strips cut into one of my puppies neck. The strip wasn't over tight but I checked the strips and the rough edges make for a serrated edge. Very sharp. I took them all off. I'd pay a few dollars more for the Velcro colored collar idea but given the present design I would not recommend and I ordered more which I will return. Good idea but the edges need to be softer. I'm running my finger on the edge now and I feel bad I put it on her. One week old puppy.

These bands are probably ok for larger puppies but not for toy breeds. The width is too wide and they are too stiff. I can see where they would rub their necks raw if I left them on

At first I thought the 14inch were going to be way too big for our lab puppies. They were not, because the pups grow so fast they need to be adjusted every other day. I love being able to tell them all apart. Glad we purchased these. Makes the daily weights and health information more accurate when you know for sure which puppy you are consistently caring for.

I orders this cause it said it came with a chart. I guess the pieces of colored Velcro would work if I had a chart. Oh you can buy the piece of paper to go with the colored vecro for 11.00 Plus shipping. So for 30.00 I can get what I ordered. I'm going to cut of a piece of the 17.00 Velcro and make my own chart.

Be sure to get the right size. These were recommended for newborns, and only fit 3 of 9 pups

Not made of a quality product, does not stand up to wear. Better off making them yourself.

These collars are crap, they fall off after 3 days and you can't tell which pup is which

This would be a size I would recommend for a toy breed. They would not fit around the necks of my 4week old frenchies
