Reasons Waterproof Collars are Great for Small Dogs
If you have a small dog, you know that finding the right collar for them can be a big task. It seems that many collars don’t come in small enough sizes or are simply too bulky for your little pooch.
Why isn’t there an option that looks good, fits comfortably, and is built to last?
Well, here’s a secret - there is!
Waterproof collars can be a great option for small dogs when the width, strap weight, and hardware are appropriately sized for the dog.
And here’s why…
They are SOFT
The material is called Soft Grip for a reason. It’s incredibly smooth to the touch and won’t crack under the pressure of harsh climates. There are no itchy fibers to worry about, and the hardware is smooth and durable. These collars are so comfy, your dog may forget they’re wearing one.
They are Sized for the Dog
Finding a collar that is durable without unnecessarily weighing down a small dog’s neck can be a challenge. That’s why we don’t simply make every waterproof collar the same way and change the length.
Our narrower 5/8" and 3/4" waterproof collars use thinner, lighter BioThane Beta Standard strap along with proportionally smaller stainless steel or solid brass hardware. Our wider 1" collars use much heavier-duty BioThane Beta Super Heavy strap and larger, more robust hardware designed for bigger dogs. Even though the materials and hardware have a similar appearance, the difference in the finished collar can be substantial.
In other words, we scale the entire collar to the dog - not just the length. That’s also why you may see some overlap in the lengths available in different collar widths. Choosing the appropriate width is just as important as choosing the correct length for a comfortable fit.
Our waterproof collars have the attractive look and feel of leather without actually being leather, and they come in different widths so your dog can have a collar that fits them properly.
They are WATERPROOF and ODOR RESISTANT
I don’t know about you, but my small dog loves to squeeze himself into little spaces just to roll in something smelly. Waterproof collars are great because they don’t hold onto odors. A simple wipe-down and they’re ready for the next adventure.
You no longer have to worry about your dog’s collar getting ruined by playing in the water. The material is designed to handle wet conditions without absorbing water like traditional materials can, making it a practical choice for dogs that love ponds, puddles, and other messy adventures.
They are QUIET
Say goodbye to the days of listening to your dog’s hanging tag jingle with every step. Our waterproof collars can remove the need for a hanging tag. Instead, a ScruffTag can be built into the collar and sit on the scruff of your dog’s neck. Or you can have a nameplate riveted onto the collar.
These options can be especially nice for small dogs because some hanging tags can be a bit large. Little pups are already close to the ground - they don’t need an oversized tag dangling from their collar.
Skip the stress of buying flimsy collars that fall apart or collars that are unnecessarily bulky for your small dog. Choosing the right waterproof collar width and size can give your dog a comfortable collar with the durability needed for everyday adventures.
