Made up in durable 1" (25mm) wide nylon webbing and strong metal nickel plated chain martingale. Lots of colour choices and sizes for every dog.
SIZES: Small: 8” to 13” (20cm to 33cm) Medium: 12” to 18” (30cm to 45cm) Large: 14” to 22” (35cm to 56cm) X- Large : 20” to 28" (51cm to 71cm)
CHAIN MARTINGALE: Has a chain loop that, when pulled, will tighten a limited amount to prevent slipping out (or backing out) of the collar. Put on over the head and adjust to fit. Chains are metal and can mark light fur; it washes off easily. Head and neck of dog need to be measured for correct sizing. Three types of hardware are available:
nickel plated
solid brass
stainless steel
*neon colours are difficult to photograph and have been adjusted, they are bright neon coloured.
Please check collars and leashes on a regular basis and repair or replace any damaged parts for safety reasons. Leashes and collars are your responsibility once you receive them, always keep your dog’s safety in mind and use responsibly. All collars and leashes are washable, by hand or gentle cycle in the washer (or top rack of dish washer). Hang to dry.
All photos are samples of the collars you will receive. Everything is uniquely handmade for your pet.
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.
