Does your dog have a summer collar?

What is a summer collar?

Basic collars are not divided by season: their quality, size and shape do not change from summer to winter, and vice versa. But you can come across such a thing as “summer” or, for example, “autumn” collars. What is it about?

These are special seasonal collections. Usually brands produce them in addition to the standard range.

“Summer” collars are called collars with a bright, juicy, “summer” design. For example, this year the popular German brand Hunter released a special summer collection. It includes super stylish collars that reflect the global fashion trends of this summer. All of them are designed to add color to the life of the owner and pet and emphasize their individuality.

What is the trick?

Seasonal collections are not only high quality, but also high fashion. They pick up modern trends, stand out with stylish fittings and new color combinations.

Reliability, convenience and practicality in use are the basic characteristics of any good collar, but this is not enough. It is much cooler when the collar also looks spectacular, attracts attention and complements the image of the owner. Imagine yourself in a light dress with an elegant braided strap and the same braided collar around your beloved dog’s neck! Your family bow will definitely cause a storm of delight. Good mood and new likes on Instagram are guaranteed!

The collar is not just an attribute for walking. This accessory speaks of the sense of style of the owner of the pet, expresses his attitude towards his ward, the level of his care and responsibility.

If the owner “dresses” the pet in his own style, he clearly treats him as a full-fledged member of his family and wants to emphasize their cohesion. In today’s world, this is very valuable!

How to choose a collar?

The collar can be so spectacular that you immediately want to buy it and forget about the selection rules. But take your time!

Before you buy a collar, make sure it fits your dog in size and thickness. For dogs of large breeds, thin models should not be purchased, and wide brutal ones will not work for minis.

The collar should not be too loose or tight. Its length should be such that you can slip two fingers between the collar and the dog’s neck.

And a few more rules:

• Choose models from high-quality, dog-safe material.

• It is better if the collar clasp is made of stainless steel, and the rings are solid.

• Accessories must be securely fastened and sewn under the lining so as not to injure the skin and coat of the pet.

• Impregnation of the collar should not stain the coat.

Give preference to handmade collars. In manual production, each work is worked out, each is given attention. The probability of marriage is minimized, and you can be calm about the quality of the collar.

Well, now you know about summer collars and know how to choose them. Onward to a stylish summer!
