The Ultimate Collection of Waterproof Dog Collars: Durable, Stinkproof, and Personalized for Safety
Adventure-Ready Collars Built to Outlast the Outdoors
For the dog that lives for adventure—the swimmer, the mud-roller, the all-weather explorer, the dog with an outdoor job—you need a collar that can keep up. At dogIDs, we hand-craft the most durable, stinkproof waterproof dog collars designed to handle whatever your best friend gets into or Mother Nature dishes out. Constructed with premium Biothane material, these collars offer the perfect blend of flexibility, comfort, and rugged longevity, ensuring your dog stays safe and stylish through every splash and sprint.
Unmatched Durability and Odor-Proof Performance
Tired of that persistent wet dog smell clinging to your dog's collar? Our waterproof Biothane collars are completely odor-proof and stinkproof. Unlike traditional nylon or leather, Biothane is non-porous and won't absorb dirt, moisture, or bacteria, making it the superior material for active dogs.
Key Benefits of Biothane:
- 100% Waterproof: Perfect for beach trips, lake swims, duck sloughs and rainy hikes.
- Easy to Clean: A quick rinse with water is all it takes to make them look brand new—mud and grime simply wipe away.
- Incredibly Durable: Biothane resists tears, abrasions, and stays soft and pliable in hot and freezing temperatures, making it ideal for the most rugged conditions. Did you know that the Biothane strap we use for our waterproof collars was originally developed for building harnesses for workhorse teams? Yes, it’s super tough.
Personalized Safety: Keep Your Dog Known and Safely Home
Safety is our number one priority, which is why every one of our waterproof dog collars are available with a custom laser engraved ID tag built in. We offer several styles to ensure permanent identification for your pup without the hassle of dangling tags:
- Waterproof ScruffTag Collars: Featuring our popular, low-profile, and deeply engraved nameplate that is riveted securely to the back of the collar, sitting flat against your dog's neck. No jingle, no snagging—just clear, lasting ID.
- Rivet-On NamePlate Collars: The tried and true design familiar to most people with a classic regal look. These collars used to be mainly used for sporting dogs but over the last several years, pet parents have also adopted this practical style to keep their dogs known and safely home with nothing to catch on obstacles or make noise.
- Reflective Waterproof Collars: For added peace of mind during dawn and dusk walks, choose a style with an embedded reflective strip to maximize visibility and safety in low light conditions.
- Waterproof Martingale Collars: A humane training collar that provides gentle correction for dogs that need a little more physical communication or tend to slip out of standard buckles.
Explore our collection to find the perfect fit and style, including convenient Quick Release buckles and elegant options with brass hardware—all backed by our lifetime guarantee on quality craftsmanship.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What is Biothane, and why is it used for waterproof collars?
A: Biothane is a proprietary, high-tech material made of a strong polyester webbing core with a protective TPU or PVC coating. It's chosen specifically for waterproof dog collars because it is incredibly strong, flexible, easy to clean, highly resistant to abrasions, and—most importantly—it is completely waterproof and stinkproof, making it superior to traditional collar materials for active dogs.
Q: How do I clean my waterproof dogIDs collar?
A: Cleaning is simple! Because the Biothane material is non-porous, dirt and grime sit on the surface. Simply wipe the collar down with a damp cloth or rinse it under running water. For tough messes, a mild soap and a brush will work effectively without harming the collar material or the personalized engraving.
Q: Is Biothane a new material?
A: No, dogIDs has been making dog products with Biothane strap since we started in 2005. And actually our founder, Clint, started making Biothane dog collars in the 1990's. Back then black, brown and orange were the only color options offered, but that’s gradually expanded over the years to a full spectrum of beautiful colors.
Q: Will the personalization on my collar fade or rub off?
A: No, the personalization is designed to be permanent and highly durable. We use high-tech laser equipment to deep-engrave the stainless steel or brass nameplates. Unlike printing or shallow etching, our deep engraving ensures your critical contact information will remain clear and legible for the life of the collar, even with constant exposure to water.
Q: Are these collars suitable for puppies or small dogs?
A: Absolutely. Our waterproof dog collars are available in a full range of sizes, including narrow widths suitable for small dogs and puppies. The Biothane material is lightweight and flexible enough to be comfortable for all breeds, ensuring every dog can enjoy the benefits of a durable, personalized, and stinkproof collar.
