Best Dog Collar for a Pomeranian: Size, Fit, and Style Guide
June 25, 2026 · 5 min read
Pomeranians are mostly floof. Under that spectacular coat is a tiny neck, and measuring over the fur is the fastest way to end up with a collar that is far too loose. Here is how to size a collar for your Pom the right way.
Pomeranian collar size at a glance
Poms are tiny under the coat. Measure to the skin, since the fur can hide the real number by a wide margin.
| Measurement | Range |
|---|---|
| Neck circumference | 10-14 in (25-35 cm) |
| Typical weight | 4-13 lbs |
| Recommended Dazey size | S; measure to the skin under the coat |
How to measure your Pomeranian's neck
The number on the size chart only works if you measure first. Wrap a soft tape measure or a piece of string around the base of your Pomeranian's neck, where the collar naturally sits, then keep it snug but not tight. The gold standard is the two-finger rule: you should be able to slip two fingers between the collar and the neck once it is buckled. For the full walkthrough see our dog collar size chart, or let our sizing calculator do the math for you.
- Measure the base of the neck where the collar sits, not up near the head.
- Keep the tape snug, then add room for two fingers.
- Measure to the skin, not over thick fur, so the collar is not secretly too loose.
- If you land between two sizes, size up and use the adjustment range.
Fit notes for Pomeranians
The coat is the catch with a Pomeranian. That dense double coat can add inches of apparent bulk, so a collar fitted over the fluff will slide loose against the skin. Part the coat right down to the neck, measure there, and tighten to a true two-finger fit on the skin, not the fur.
Poms are small dogs with a fine neck, so keep the collar lightweight and gentle. As with other toy breeds, a soft harness is a popular choice for walks, with the collar carrying ID and looking adorable day to day.

A bright, happy pattern pops beautifully against a Pom's fluffy coat. A cheerful look like our Sunny Smiles collar suits their bold little personalities. Browse the rest of the Dazey collars for more lightweight small-dog options.
Quick fit reminders for Pomeranians
Measure to the skin
Part that big coat and measure at the skin, or the collar will be far looser than it seems.
Keep it light
A fine neck does best in a lightweight collar with no unnecessary bulk.
Re-check after grooming
Coat changes shift how the collar sits, so confirm the fit after each groom.

Frequently asked questions
What size collar does a Pomeranian need?
Under the coat, most Pomeranians measure about 10 to 14 inches at the neck, which is a small in Dazey sizing. Always measure to the skin, since the coat can add a deceptive amount of bulk.
Why does my Pom's collar keep slipping?
Almost always because it was fitted over the coat. When the fur compresses, the collar loosens. Re-measure against the skin and tighten to a true two-finger fit.
Is a harness better for a Pomeranian?
For walks, a soft harness is gentle on a small neck and harder to slip. A lightweight flat collar is still ideal for carrying ID tags every day.
