What Size Collar & Harness for a Alaskan Malamute?
For an adult Alaskan Malamute, a L collar and L harness are the usual starting point, based on a typical neck of 46–56 cm and chest of 71–91 cm. But every dog is different — measure yours and use the two-finger rule before buying.

⚠️ Measure your dog — breed is only a starting point. A Alaskan Malamute's build varies a lot between individuals, and a collar is a safety item. Measure the neck snug, add about 2-3 cm (the two-finger rule), and confirm against the specific collar's size guide before buying.

| Typical range | Recommended size | |

| Neck (collar) | 46–56 cm (18.1–22.0 in) | L |
| Chest (harness) | 71–91 cm (28.0–35.8 in) | XL |
