Looking for a leather dog collar? There is no shortage of High Street shops and online stores stocking dog collars. Some concentrate on basic, everyday designs for the no-nonsense dog and his owner. Others specialising in designer dog fashion tend to go in for more bold and dramatic styles.
But whatever the design or expense, the two most important factors to consider are security and durability.
Emboldened with the family crest
Traditionalists will always prefer a brown or black leather dog collar.
This doesn’t mean that leather dog collars all have to be boring. Far from it. They come in as many shades as the rainbow, with prices ranging from affordable to astronomic.
Styles vary, too. Status-conscious owners might care to know that these collars can even come emboldened with the family crest. And while it is also possible to have the dog’s name engraved on his collar, it’s not always a good idea because if ever the animal were to be abducted, the perpetrator of the crime would know his name.
Identifying a valued friend to all and sundry is definitely not advisable.
Rhinestone cowboy
You fancy a diamante, a pink, or maybe even a red leather dog collar?
No problem. All are available at the click of a button.
Your dog is sees himself as a rhinestone cowboy? Treat him to a rhinestone collar!
He’s black, and you can’t see him when you’re out in the dead of night? Then what he needs is a reflective dog collar. These come in the unmistakeable bright green-yellow shade that stands out in the dark.
Some of these collars have flashing lights that leave no-one in any doubt as to who’s approaching.
Pet accessories
One online accessory store, Hamish McBeth, has a comprehensive stock of pet accessories (www.hamishmcbeth.com). These include luxury custom leather dog collars, waterproof raincoats for those rainy days and woolly jumpers for when our four-legged friends have been moulting. Or perhaps just shivering in the snow.
This company’s spokesman points out that they always ‘road test’ their dog collars and buckles as well as the clips on leads.
A lampshade on his head
Is your pet unfortunate enough to have been involved in an accident, has injured himself and has had to have surgical treatment?
Maybe the vet has given him one of those bucket-shaped collars to stop him scratching the site of the wound and causing himself even more damage, but Rufus has somehow managed to extricate himself from what he sees as a lampshade restricting his movements and chewed the prescribed collar to bits?
Rather than returning to the vet for a replacement, it might be interesting to note that these can be purchased on line. Without a prescription! Try www.viovet.co.uk.
This company (like many others) also supplies slip leads, anti-bark collars, flexi retractable leads, rope twist slip leads, haltis and training collars as well as a leather dog collar for every occasion!
