How to choose a dog collar
Choosing a collar is really a case of keeping an eye out for the right things and veering away from cheap, unsustainable styles that aren’t going to be able to stick it out with you and your dog for the long run. Here are a few elements that you need to watch out for…
Dog Collar Styles- Materials
Materials really do matter, especially when it comes to shopping for something that your dog is going to be wearing every single day! Look for silky soft polyester to ensure that your dog is always comfortable and protected.
Metals
The shiny stuff needs to be paid a little attention, too! You’re going to want to look for sturdy, scratch resistant hardware.
Measurements
One of the most essential elements is the fit. The dog is going to be wearing that collar all day long, so make it as comfortable as possible. You don’t want them to feel like they are wearing something uncomfortable or worse, painful, so listen up fur parents! Measure the circumference of your dog’s neck and keep those measurements (plus a couple of centimeters for comfort) next to you whilst you browse the big beautiful world of dog collars. If you’re unsure, search for an adjustable fit with a buckle secured closure point, you can’t go wrong!
