FAQS
For a puppy or a determined chewer, choose a nylon collar—it’ll stand up better than leather. It’s also a great choice for dogs who love the water, and it washes easily. Our nylon dog collars come in a ton of bright colors and patterns and have a convenient quick-release buckle. If your dog pulls against the leash or has a narrow head (think greyhound or whippet) we recommend our martingale collar to wear along with a regular collar—just be sure to remove the martingale when you can’t supervise your dog. Leather collars last longer than any other materials, so go for leather if you’d rather not replace your dog’s collar from time to time. It’s also a great option for a dog with a nylon allergy. Whether you choose nylon or leather, be sure to personalize your dog’s collar with their name and your phone number.
Yes, if it’s a nylon dog collar, and we’ll embroider it for free! We suggest choosing a thread color that contrasts well with the color of the nylon for better visibility. Find all the options on the product page. We also make a personalizable reflective version of our nylon collar that’s ideal if you spend time outdoors with your dog in low or zero light conditions.
Yes, our leather shotshell dog collar comes with a brass name plate; we’ll engrave it with your phone number and your dog’s name for a nominal fee.
A harness that serves as a dog restraint system is best to use in the car. Ours also works as a standard walking harness, so it’s a super convenient accessory on the road AND when you get there. It attaches conveniently to your car’s shoulder harness, or snap in the optional tether (sold separately) and clip it to your dog’s harness. NOTE: Never attach a seat belt restraint directly to your dog’s collar—this can severely injure your dog in the event of an accident.
Yes, we do—it’s available in multiple colors and we’ll personalize it for free. Besides being waterproof, this collar wipes clean and it won’t stink. So if your pal spends lots of time in the water, this collar is a great choice.
When you notice wear and tear in the material, or the buckles start to function improperly, replace your dog’s collar, harness, or leash.
