Logic - The best collar for your dog

So many dogs, so many choices for collars, harnesses, split chains and other ways to leash your dog. But what should you look out for when buying a collar? What is the advantage of a collar? What is the advantage of a leather collar for your dog?

What should you look out for when buying a collar?

The purpose of a collar is to be able to leash a dog. So you can keep him safe from danger and make sure you can have great adventures together. Whatever you choose, it is important to look carefully at what your dog needs.

  • Choose a collar that is both beautiful and practical and animal-friendly.
  • Choose the right size. Make sure the collar is not too loose, but certainly not too tight. A good size is important. Need help measuring the size? Then check out our handy tips.
  • Choose a collar that suits your situation. If your dog runs loose a lot, a collar that is integrated with the leash may be more convenient, such as the Cotton Ocean leash.
  • Choose a collar that suits your dog. Of course, the colour and look of the collar is very important. Also pay attention to your dog's type of coat. If your dog has a long-haired coat, choose a collar where the coat cannot get tangled.

Advantages of a collar?

A collar has the advantage of only being around the neck. It leaves your dog completely free to move around. The advantage is the disadvantage. It is only around the neck, so if your dog pulls a lot, the pressure of pulling will be on the neck. Therefore, make sure you practice together enough how your dog can best walk on a leash and how we as owners can best guide the dog. Because just like dogs, we too should not pull on the lead.

Advantage of a leather collar?

A collar comes in many different designs. Nylon, Polyester, Cork, Leather and many other materials. Leather is supple, looks cool and chic and is very strong. As a result, it does not break easily.
Cooper & Quint's collars are made of vegetable-tanned leather. Organic or vegetable-tanned leather has several additional advantages:

  • No animal is killed for its hide. On the contrary, the raw hides used by our tanneries are the discarded by-products of the food industry producing meat for human consumption. The hides all come from Europe and have not travelled a long distance to the tannery.
  • Because vegetable or organically tanned leather is tanned with natural tannins, its chemical-biological properties allow it to be easily discarded at the end of its useful life.
  • Vegetable-tanned leather, recognisable by its trademark, contains no toxic substances such as azo dyes, nickel, PCP or chromium VI. Great for your dog and for nature.
  • Because only vegetable materials are used to tan the leather, the leather still contains a lot of life. Rub a collar a few times and you will see that it changes colour due to the warmth of your skin. As soon as it cools down, it goes back to its original colour.
