 Posted: Sun Aug 16, 2009 7:29 pm Post subject: Ruby needs new collar- recommendations please |
    |
|
Ruby needs a new collar as the Rogz one she has has not worn very well, looks very grubby and smells !!!
I have an Ancol buckle one for her but it is too big and the next size down is too small.
I am not really looking for anything too fancy or expensive and something that will be suitable for everyday use. I know lots of LF people have a Red Dingo collar but I wondered how these wear- her Rogz collar didn't like brambles and pulled really easily.
I know these may be a silly questions but do people wash their dog's collar and what collars cope with the occasional dunk in the river the best ???
I look forward to hearing your response
Chloe

Ruby had a Rogz collar, it lasted a week before it looked fit for the bin  she still has it as a spare but it really didn't wear well.
She now has a dublin dog collar which has proven to be pretty much indestructible! even after a week of non stop swimming in sea and rolling in the sand it still looks like new!
Edit: Her fabric collars i used to wash in the washing machine in an old sock, her Dublindog collars dont get washed unless shes rolled in something really gunky, and then i just rince it under the tap!

It seems that dublin and red dingo are the way to go.
I assume from the sizing info that most people opt for the large size in both of these ???
Having measured Ruby's neck I make it about 17" which puts her just in the large size. Does this sound about right ?
