If it is the colour you want, this is the collar, and the neck it fits is a large one — from a big gundog at 45cm through to a giant breed at 70cm, with no purple option at either of the two smaller sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 25cm span is the widest of the three collars, and on a heavy-coated dog that is a practical feature rather than a specification: poly-weave webbing, a quick-fit and release buckle, and a sliding adjuster that holds a set length instead of jumping between punched holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25cm of adjustment, 45cm to 70cm at the neck — Ancol size 5–9.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe only size in the Viva adjustable range made in purple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoly-weave webbing, which Ancol describe as lightweight and weatherproof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick-fit and release buckle rather than a pin buckle and holes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlider adjustment, so a seasonal change in coat thickness is a two-second correction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated by Ancol for swimming, and machine washable at 30°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidely recyclable, plastic-free packaging.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge and giant breeds measuring 45–70cm at the base of the neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who wants purple specifically — it is not made in the smaller two sizes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-coated dogs whose neck measurement changes between summer and winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-dog households using colour to keep collars apart.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs under 45cm at the neck need the 30–50cm size 2–5 Viva adjustable collar, which we stock in black, blue, pink and red but not purple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere the ranges overlap between 45 and 50cm, this collar is the better choice: it sits early in its adjustment while the 30–50cm collar would be at full extension.
