Braided Leather Dog Collars
Wonderful Braided Leather Dog Collars
The leather braided dog collar is a great collar for
dogs of any breed or size. They are classically
fashionable for todays dog. The leather braided dog
collar is one of the most durable dog collars around. It
can withstand the toughest conditions without breaking.
Although it is not completely waterproof, this collar is
the one to get.
Large Dogs
Large dogs do very well with braided leather dog
collars. With dogs that easily break normal nylon
collars, you need to try these. Leather is extremely
strong and there are very few dogs that can break a
leather collar. If you have a large dog that can break a
regular leather collar, rest assured that a braided
leather collar is even stronger than a plain leather
collar.
Sizes
Leather collars tend to loosen and relax with wear, so
make sure you get a collar that will work with your dog
if it loosens. Leather collars are made in small,
medium, large, and extra large. These sizes usually
accommodate any breed. It is much better to get the
collar a bit big and adjust it with the proper clasp
hole than to get one that is too tight. A leather collar
that is too tight can be a choking hazard to your dog or
cause neck and windpipe damage.
Comfortable
Braided leather collars are very comfortable for dogs to
wear. They feel soft and smooth against the skin. Long
hair breeds may have problems getting their hair twisted
into the woven leather. The tighter the braid, the less
likely this is to occur. So, take this into
consideration when purchasing one of these collars.
Care Of Leather Collars
Leather dog collars should be cared for properly to
ensure the quality of the collar and the comfort to the
dog. Leather does not do well in wet conditions, so when
it does get wet, care for it immediately. Most collars
are water repellant, but if very saturated, they will
retain water. Remove the collar from the dog; wipe any
dirt or debris from it, and lay it flat to dry. Make
sure the drying area is not warm but room temperature.
Saddle soap is a good product to have for taking care of
your leather collars. It renews the oils that protect
the leather and keep it soft and beautiful.
Disadvantages
Some leather collars have the capability of changing
your dogs hair color. Some of the dyes in leather
collars will rub off onto your dogs fur around the area
in which the collar stays. This is not usually a problem
for darker colored dogs. Owners of white dogs may take
this into consideration when purchasing a leather dog
collar.
Braided leather collars are great for any size and breed
of dog. They are durable and safe to use even with
unattended dogs. They will not break easily when used
with large breeds and cannot be chewed off quickly.
Although they cost a bit more than nylon collars, their
advantages are much greater.
