The Best Soft Dog Collars
February 21st, 2010 by ljr3233Welcome dog owners. Dependent on what breed of dog you own and really enjoy you want a dog collar that is stylist, practical, robust, and resilient. With so many choices for dog collars offered we want to focus our attention on rolled leather dog collars.
In comparison to the traditional flat leather collar, the rolled dog collar looks different and is made differently to make them feel much softer on the dog’s neck. To be able to roll it into the tube like a rolled pillow, the collars are crafted from the softest leather such as lambskin or sometimes calfskin. The collars are very cautiously formed into a roll and then stitched to produce the round shape. Additional steps are performed by hand to bevel and polish the edges to make sure the dogs hair does not get caught in the collar. Another thing about these rolled collars is that they can be easily dyed a color to make them more stylist than a straight leather dog collars. But keep in mind that you will have to shell out a little additional for a rolled leather dog collar because of the more manufacturing steps. These collars come with buckle made of brass, plated nickel, zinc, etc.
The majority of dog owners that have one of these rolled dog collars are convinced that these collars are the longest lasting collars. A few owners state these rolled collars are worth their weight in gold and can endure any type of torture a dog can inflict on it. These collars also withstand cracking longer than classic leather dog collars. The rounded shape which is similar to a cord or rope provides the collar with more strength.
Dog owners discover that the traditional leather collars grow to be uncomfortable for their loving dog. They uncover their pet scratching and pawing at the collar because it bothers them. A number of dog owners are switching from the traditional leather flat collar to the rolled dog collar. This may not stop all dogs from scratching and pawing the collar, but they seem to be a lot happier when wearing a rolled collar.
These rolled collars are mainly suited for dog with long, thick coats. The rolled collars help the avoidance of tangling and matting of the fur around the dog’s neck. They are also very resilient and generally do not result in hair loss or parting. However, the rolled leather collars also look awesome on those dogs with short fur too!
Most of the rolled dog collars are available in sizes that start at 10 inches and go up to 34 inches. When purchasing a collar you want to measure the circumference of your dog’s neck. Most of the time if the measure is uneven you go up one size.
