Selecting A Burberry Dog Collar

By Aimee Schwartz


When selecting dog collars there are many factors to bear in mind, from functionality and appearance to cost and materials used. Collars are worn for many different reasons and the appropriate one is chosen to suit a particular purpose. It may be used for offering control, identification and maybe even for medical purposes. Many owners choose collars according to appearance too and a burberry dog collar offers exclusive style.

Burberry is a British luxury fashion house that makes many different products. They are well known for their iconic fabric, and although their current ranges do not include collars, they have inspired many others to produce similar items. These a sold online by a variety of different suppliers. Authentic collars are still available online too from sites like eBay.

The materials used for making these collars need to be considered when making a choice. However, size is probably the most important factor. Collars are inhumane if they do not fit correctly. Too snug and they are painful. If they are too loose, they may fall off. A general rule of thumb is that with a small breed, one should be able to fit a finger between collar and neck. For a medium breed, two fingers should fit and with a large breed, three fingers.

Another factor people tend to forget about is the amount of fur on the animal. This can affect the fit, depending upon how recently the animal has been groomed when measured. As the hair grows, so the collar becomes tighter. A product that is easily adjustable is better and also makes more sense for dogs who are still growing.

Collars also come in different widths, and the thicker ones offer more support than the thinner ones. They also tend to be more comfortable as they exert less pressure on the neck than thinner ones. However, smaller breeds may battle with wide collars as they tend to be much heavier.

Many different types of collars are available, but people tend to choose buckle collars for the widest variety of situations. These are commonly made of nylon or leather, both of which are durable. Leather has an added advantage of becoming softer with wear due to the oils in the skin. Many different styles and materials are used for the buckles, such as plastic and metal.

Collars are found that are more traditional, such as a plaid one in red, black and tan or a brown and red check. However, there are other styles that are more contemporary. A black, grey and pink check, for example, on a solid pink background is a modern choice. Tartans come in all colors, from red and green, to blue and black. Customization is also offered by some suppliers who make collars to order.

Budget, materials, functionality, and size are the main factors to consider when making such a purchase. The Comfort of the animal is of far more importance than appearance. However, as long as the fit is perfect, choices of colors and patterns is virtually unlimited.
