Care Instructions

When you receive your order it will be ready to be worn by your dog straight away. In order to maintain the look of your collar there are some basic care instructions that you can follow.

Washing Instructions:

Harris Tweed/Yorkshire Tweed/Tartan Dog Collars/leads

Wash in delicates bag/pillowcase/sock. Cool wash only. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.
Metal hardware should be rinsed with clean water including after contact with salt water.

Tweed may fur up over time to refresh the fabric you can use a 2 blade razor and gently shave the fuzz off the fabric and it should look good as new.

Velvet Dog Collars/leads

Wash in delicates bag/pillowcase/sock. Max. 30° wash. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry.
Metal hardware should be rinsed with clean water including after contact with salt water.

Faux Leather Collars/leads

Wipe clean with warm soapy water and sponge. Dry Flat. Metal hardware should be rinsed with clean water including after contact with salt water.

All Bow Ties

Due to their delicate nature, we do not recommend machine washing any of our bow ties, instead you may spot clean them with soapy water if they get mucky.

Personalisation

Note: Personalisation may deteriorate over time with daily wear/after washing. This is normal wear and tear. 

Before & after each walk

Before each walk, ensure that the collar & lead is working properly and is correctly fitted to your dog's neck. Please check buckles & trigger clips regularly.  After each walk the collar should be inspected for any damage, if the collar has become wet or dirty it should be immediately rinsed (particularly if the collar has been in salt water).

Dog collars are commonly used to hold identification and registration tags. If your dog pulls on the lead whilst walking, the pressure on the neck and throat can cause discomfort and possibly injury. We therefore ALWAYS recommend that dogs are walked with a harness to prevent discomfort and injury.
