The 5 Cutest Yorkie Collars With Matching ID Tags
Here's the collar situation with Yorkies: the collar is not for walking. We've said it before and we'll keep saying it. Yorkie necks are delicate and the leash goes on the harness. But the collar? The collar holds the ID tag, and it's also the one piece of gear your Yorkie wears all day every day, which means it's worth finding one you actually love.
Because the collar isn't doing any structural work, you can lean into cute. This is the time.
What to Look For
Yorkie necks are typically 8-10 inches around, which means many collars labeled "small" still run too big. Always check the actual size range, not just the label.
Beyond sizing:
Lightweight hardware. Heavy buckles and D-rings on a tiny neck get uncomfortable fast.
Soft or padded lining to protect the coat and skin.
A sturdy snap or buckle that won't pop open if the collar catches on something.
A D-ring large enough for an ID tag to hang and spin freely.

What to Put on the Tag
Keep it simple: your dog's name and your phone number. That's it. An address isn't necessary and tells strangers where you live. "Microchipped" is worth adding if your dog is chipped. Skip the cute sayings and make sure the actual information is readable.
The Bottom Line
The collar is the one thing your Yorkie wears constantly, so it's worth getting one that fits well and looks good. Any of these picks would make us happy, and the tag is non-negotiable from day one.
