Will the personalization fade or rub off on custom dog collars?

For our laser-engraved nameplates, we use deep laser etching. Both our laser engraving and embroidery are guaranteed for the life of the pet.

How do you clean a personalized dog collar if it gets muddy?

Waterproof Biothane collars can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Nylon collars can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, and leather collars should be wiped and treated with conditioner.
