Leather Dog Collars

Many dog parents decide to purchase a leather dog collar because it offers not only timeless style but also robust workmanship and exceptional comfort. Thanks to its exceptional durability, a leather collar can accompany your four-legged friend reliably for a lifetime.

Leather is naturally resistant to harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for rain and snow. These dog collars combine practicality with a fashionable look, ensuring your dog always steps out in style. In the zooplus online store, you will find a wide selection of leather dog collars from recognized brands, in many variants and sizes, suitable for both small and large dogs.

Heim leather dog collars combine elegance with exceptional quality. Each collar is crafted from carefully selected raw materials, such as durable tanned cowhide, ensuring long-lasting strength and comfort for your dog. The use of animal-friendly leather guarantees a pleasant wearing experience, while meticulous workmanship reflects Heim’s commitment to excellence.

For greyhound-type dogs – whether a tiny Italian Greyhound, Whippet, or majestic Greyhound – opt for wider collars, typically 3 to 5 cm depending on the breed, rather than the standard 2 or 2.5 cm. Many dog parents appreciate fishtail collars, which taper towards the buckle and are wider at the front. This is important because such a collar will not compress the dog's delicate neck and will not slip over the head and the strap tapering towards the back will allow free head movement and prevent the equipment from twisting. 

Leather dog collars are beautiful and elegant, but caring for them can be tricky if you’re not experienced. Since they adhere so closely to the dog's neck, should they be impregnated? And if so, with what? And what about washing when the pet rolls in a smell that is pleasant only to them, and the collar suffers from it?

Impregnation:

Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and never use products that could irritate your dog’s skin. Some specialists suggest natural options like beeswax - only if your dog tolerates it well.

Daily care:

• Wash by hand only, never in the washing machine.
• Wipe the collar with a slightly damp, soft cloth (e.g., microfibre).
• For larger dirt a small amount of natural soap, a soft sponge, and patience work best.
• For stubborn dirt use a soft-bristle brush.
• Avoid soaking the leather - use minimal water to prevent damage.

A leather dog collar for a large dog differs significantly from one for a small one. For small dogs choose a leather dog collar that is delicate, soft, and rather thin. Pay attention not only to the weight of the leather but also to the weight of the fittings – for example, brass, although beautiful, will not work in the case of a tiny Yorkie. The width matters too, for small dogs stick to around 2 cm, and for miniature breeds, even 1 cm or less.

For large dog breeds, on the other hand, robust leather and durable metal fittings are essential to withstand strength and varied conditions. The collar in this case can be several centimeters wide for stability.

Extra tip:

If you want to be clearly visible after dark, a reflective dog collar is a must-have!
