Creature Clothes plain leather dog collar | Merry Dogs

• Hand-made in the UK.
• Made from high-quality Spanish saddle leather, dyed throughout so scratches won't show.
• Made from a single piece of leather. Absolutely no stitching – just strong leather and tough rivets.
• Leather is a natural product that your dog will find extremely comfortable to wear. See 'Care' for advice on how to look after your leather collar.
  
• Choose from nickel (solid brass coated with nickel), or solid brass hardware.
• Black, chocolate and tan leathers are hardwearing and suitable for active dogs.
• Red leather is best kept for non-swimmers.
• Available in six sizes – extra small to extra large.
• Matching plain leads are available.

Use a soft tape-measure to check the circumference of your dog’s neck. Allow a little give. Match this measurement to 'Neck size' in the table below.

Alternatively, measure the size of a collar that currently fits your dog well.  Remember to measure from the fastened size, rather than the full collar size.  

Size	Neck size	Collar width
1	23–30 cm 9–11¾ in	2 cm
2	25–35 cm 9¾–13¾ in	2 cm
3	31–42 cm 12¼–16½ in	2.2 cm
4 narrow	40–51 cm 15¾–20 in	2.2 cm
4 wide	40–51 cm 15¾–20 in	2.4 cm
5 narrow	46–56 cm 18–22 in	2.4 cm
5 wide	46–56 cm 18–22 in	3.1 cm
6	56–66 cm 22–26 in	3.1 cm

We recommend black, chocolate and tan leather if your dog enjoys a regular swim. Red leather is best kept for non-swimmers or town wear.

Leather is a natural material that requires a little more care than nylon collars.  If it is regularly left on your dog while wet the leather will crack and its lifespan will be reduced. Follow our care guide below for best results.

EVERYDAY WEAR

If your dog’s leather collar gets muddy or wet, rinse off mud and debris with water, and wipe clean with a soft cloth.  Always remove a wet collar from your dog and air-dry the collar (away from direct heat) overnight. Condition your dog’s collar every few months using the same products as you would for horse tack.  Creature Clothes use saddle soap and neat's foot oil.

SPECIAL CARE ADVICE FOR SWIMMERS

Always remove your dog's leather collar after it has swum, and allow the collar to dry overnight (away from heat sources). If your dog swims regularly treat the collar with leather conditioner (e.g. neat's foot oil) every couple of months.

This collar is made to order. We aim to dispatch it within 5-7 working days.
