NEW- hand stamped name tags now available (stainless steel only- but more options soon!)
Simple, easy and uncomplicated. This non- adjustable (MEASURE BEFORE PURCHASE) trouble free tag collar with the safety of a breakaway collar. Available in solid brass, stainless steel or matte plated black hardware. Made of washable, waterproof genuine Biothane. Breakaway is only available in black.
How to size this collar: It is one size so, NOT adjustable but does buckle in back so head size is no problem. Measure twice - just to be sure as we don't take exchanges or refunds. - Take a soft measure tape and measure around base of neck at most comfortable for the pup, not tight. This is the "resting" neck size. The inside diameter of the collar will be this size.
*Matte Black Plated Hardware: The sleek black hardware gives each piece a bold, slightly rugged, modern edge. The finish may chip and naturally develops character over time, creating a subtle worn-in look that makes every collar uniquely yours.
It is available in 38 colours of Biothane and either solid brass, matte plated black or stainless steel. Vegan leather alternative; animal friendly. Handmade in Canada to your specifications. It is just for tags, so please don't attach it to a leash. We construct, design, photograph, and hand-make all items in Canada.
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.
