NEW: matching strap keeper to tuck the remaining tab/strap into!
*Finally* a side release in waterproof Biothane!!! There is only a small adjustment on these, so make sure you have measured your pups neck. No returns as each collar is custom sized specifically for your pup. We construct, design, photograph, and hand-make all items in Canada. This collar is 1" (25mm) wide.
MEASURE CAREFULLY
To measure size: Take a soft measuring tape and wrap it around your pups neck where your regular tag collar sits. It should be snug but not tight. This measure is your dogs neck size and should be the smallest size you would need the collar.
Hardware Option:
- shiny brass plated buckle with the D-ring in solid brass, conway.
or
- shiny nickel plated buckle with a stainless steel D-ring, conway.
Materials and care
For Biothane:
Genuine Beta Biothane
solid brass or stainless steel hardware
end sealed in matching shade
rivets (either solid brass or nickel plate solid brass)
Cleaning is a snap! You can use soap and water for most dirt/salt water. Polish solid brass and stainless steel with a slurry made of white vinegar and baking soda (foamy but works great) and rinse off after. Even a disinfecting bleach dip (10%) is fine. Magic erasers work well for stubborn stains.
For Tartan ribbon or Nylon collars:
Genuine Tartan Ribbons from Scotland
strong nylon webbing
nickle plated hardware
thread for sewing
Cleaning of fabric type collars is usually done by hand or gentle cycle in the washing machine. Use gentle soap, no harsh chemicals. Let air dry fully.
Handcrafted with love, made to order just for you. No drop shipping involved.
Martingale, Chain Martingale- it's a pass-over-head style (tartans) or opens fully (Biothane); measure neck and largest part of head. Adjust to fit once on.
Side Release (also called quick release or side squeeze)- it opens fully, so just the neck size is needed to fit. Adjust the size then buckle around neck.
Breakaway- basically a side release that will pop open in any force is pulled on it. Mostly used in tag collars or cat collars.
Roller buckle (shoe buckle, belt style buckle)- opens fully, weave the end through the buckle and secure with tongue. Just need to have the neck size for it to fit, there is adjustment holes for sizes. We list size at the centre hole.
