Why It’s So Hard to Find Collars for Italian Greyhounds – and Where to Get One That Fits

Why Most Dog Collars Aren’t Right for Italian Greyhounds

If you’ve got an Italian Greyhound, you’ll already know they don’t exactly fall into the “standard” category when it comes to collars. Most of what you’ll find in pet shops just isn’t made with IGs in mind. They might technically fit, but they often look too chunky, feel stiff, or just don’t sit right.

Italian Greyhounds aren’t shaped like most other dogs. They have slim necks, narrow heads, and fine coats, which means standard collars often don’t sit properly or feel comfortable. That’s why they need something designed specifically for their build.

What really sets a good Italian Greyhound collar apart is the design. The right collar should be shaped for comfort, lightweight enough not to bother them, and soft against the skin. And let’s be honest – if it’s not stylish too, what’s the point?

Why Italian Greyhound Collars Are Hard to Find

Walk into most pet shops and you’ll find walls of collars in every size—except the one that actually works for an Italian Greyhound. Although the breed is classed as a toy by the Kennel Club, their collar needs are completely different from other small dogs.

The problem isn’t just size—it’s shape and design. Most collars on the market are made for general use, with no thought given to the slimmer necks or finer coats of a small sighthound. And because Italian Greyhounds aren’t one of the more common breeds, very few companies actually make collars designed specifically for them.

That means most owners end up hunting online, trying to find something that fits well and looks right. And once they do? They rarely look back.

What to Look for in a Collar for Your IG

When you’re choosing a collar for your Italian Greyhound, comfort and quality should be at the top of the list. It’s not just about getting the right size—it’s about finding something that feels good, fits well, and is built to last.

Here’s what makes all the difference:

• Comfortable by design – Italian leather is an excellent choice for IGs. It’s naturally soft and flexible, with no stiff edges or rough backing to cause irritation.
• Lightweight, yet strong – A good collar should feel light enough for everyday walks, but still tough enough to handle regular use.
• British made with care – Unlike mass-produced collars, ours are made to order, giving a tailored fit and a level of craftsmanship you won’t find on the high street.
• Premium materials – From genuine Italian calf leather to durable stainless steel hardware, every element is chosen for its quality and longevity.
