Can you imagine the following scene: a cat running at the seashore, hitting the waves and splashing around, having the time of its life? To most animal lovers, this would sound preposterous. 

However, if you have to imagine the same scene but with a dog in the main role, it will undoubtedly be much more credible and probably something you have experienced with your own furry pal. 

If your pup likes playing in the water, you are, in all likelihood, aware of the mess that can create. While you cannot prevent wet and smelly fur, you can spare yourself a lot of trouble with a waterproof dog collar. 

The hidden advantages of waterproof collars

When you think about the most important features of a reliable dog collar, water resistance is possibly not the first thing that comes to mind. Nonetheless, it is a mark for a high quality collar. And that is precisely what we at DoggoCollar want to offer to our customers.

Waterproof dog collars play a vital role in the maintenance of your pup's hygiene and health. A collar that is not water resistant easily absorbs moisture from the dog’s fur and retains all kinds of harmful bacteria. They can cause a number of diseases and infections if they get inside the dog’s mouth, nose, and eyes. 

A humid environment is also perfect for the development of fungi. A canine fungal infection is just as nasty as it is with humans. It can cause skin irritation and intense itchiness, and is generally an unpleasant experience for both the dog and its owner.  

Of course, waterproof dog collars are not a guarantee that no sickness will ever reach your pup. Bacteria and fungi can come from many places and no dog or human is invincible. Nevertheless, a collar that is water resistant significantly reduces the risk of developing an infection. 

Your dog’s health and safety are our priority and we believe that pet care is not exhausted with food, water, and walks. Choosing the right collar is of extreme importance, and we created DoggoCollar with dogs’ best interest in mind. If you are uncertain of how to make that choice, you can consult our blog post.

Another advantage of water resistance is that it also makes the collars stink proof. The materials used for our DoggoCollar 4-cm collars do not absorb moisture from the dog’s fur. That eliminates the risk for the fabric to develop an unpleasant odor that you cannot get rid of. 

Last but not least, having a waterproof collar spares you from the disagreeable ordeal of touching the wet material when taking the collar off. You also do not have to worry about washing and drying the collar after your dog’s aquatic adventures. This is especially helpful during the cold seasons when drying off takes significantly longer time. 

How it works

The market for waterproof dog collars and leads is rich and diverse. Most manufacturers, however, choose the BioThane material for their products. BioThane dog collars are quite practical and readily available. 

We at DoggoCollar decided to go in a different direction. Our collars are made of Cordura advanced fabric on the outside and softshell on the inside. These two materials are used in many industries. Their diversified properties make them suitable for an extended variety of products.

Both are distinguished for their high water resistance and simple maintenance. The materials are easy to wipe clean and wash with hot water and soap if needed. 

They are also sturdy and an ID tag of any kind can be attached to the collar. The Cordura and softshell will not wear out quickly even if the tag creates friction.

Our blog post about luxury dog collars will provide more in-depth information about the DoggoCollar materials.

Additionally, the D-rings of our DoggoCollar 4-cm collar are made of stainless steel. Even if you live in a place with high humidity, there will be no risk of rust. And if your four-legged friend loves playing in the lake or sea, the stainless steel will suffer no damage. 

The same applies to the release buckle of our collars since it is made of plastic. We rely on the power of magnets for our buckles, thanks to our partners at Fidlock. More information about this and other special features of our products can be found in this blog post. 

In conclusion

To summarize, waterproof dog collars are hygienic, practical, and long lasting. If you got into the “add to cart” mood after learning all this, you can order your DoggoCollar waterproof 4-cm collar now!
