When choosing a collar for your Pug, the most important factor is finding a comfortable, well-fitting design that avoids putting pressure on their short neck and flat face. Pugs are brachycephalic and prone to respiratory issues, so a martingale or flat collar with a wide, padded band is ideal to prevent choking. Our editorial team researched popular options to help you pick a collar that balances safety, comfort, and style for your Pug.

Pugs are sturdy, playful dogs with wrinkled faces and a low center of gravity. Their thick necks can make collars twist or slip, so look for a durable material like nylon or leather with a secure buckle. We recommend avoiding choke chains or prong collars, which can harm their delicate trachea. Instead, opt for a collar that provides gentle control without straining their breathing.
