If your dog measures inside the overlap, the deciding factor is the dog rather than the number. A broad-necked, strong-pulling dog at 41cm is better on size 5, where the measurement sits low in the range and there is plenty of strap left before the last hole. A fine-necked dog at the same 41cm is better on size 4, where the neck sits high in that collar's range and you are not left with a long tail of webbing flapping under the chin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond the sizing, this is standard Viva: poly-weave webbing with soft padding behind it, a satin buckle, an ID loop and 9cm of adjustment.
