Dog Collars

Q: Should I use a collar or a harness?

There are reasons to have both in your dog&#39;s kit. A collar is essential for holding your dog&#39;s identification, license, and other tags. Dogs who aren&#39;t pullers can often walk on leash with just a collar. For dogs who pull, harnesses tend to be more comfortable by decreasing pressure on their neck.

Dog collars are an outward expression of the internal connection we share with our dogs. Inspiring colors & patterns, strong webbing, and hardware you can count on all add up to a dog collar that elevates and celebrates the journeys you take together.

Ruffwear dog collars are designed from a dog’s perspective and built to last. Whether your pup's a trailblazer, escape artist extraordinaire, water enthusiast, or night owl, there's a perfect collar for them. Our durable collars for dogs can withstand any outdoor adventure. While our secure martingale collars are ideal for pups who like to Houdini their way out of traditional collars, our stink-proof, waterproof collar is great for dogs who love to make a splash. For low-light explorers, our reflective dog collar will keep your canine visible during evening outings. Once you find the best collar for your dog, you can complete your set with our coordinating dog leashes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of collar should my dog wear?

We recommend finding the collar that speaks to you, both in function and in style. Traditional webbing flat collars with a buckle have lots of great colors and patterns and are easy on/off. Martingale collars are popular no-slip solutions. And waterproof collars are great stink-proof options.

How to clean a dog collar?

You can learn how to clean a dog collar in a few easy steps. First, you’ll want to shake off any dirt and debris. Then, you’ll hand wash the collar in warm water with mild soap and rinse thoroughly. Lastly, leave the collar out to air dry.

How should the collar fit on my dog?

Ruffwear collars are designed to fit your dog comfortably and securely. To achieve the perfect fit, follow these tips:

Take two fingers and slide them gently between your dog's neck and the collar. If they fit comfortably with a little wiggle room, but the collar isn't loose enough to slip off, you've found the sweet spot. The collar should feel snug without restricting your dog's breathing or movement. If your pup is still growing, consider an adjustable collar to accommodate their changing size.

For our martingale collars specifically, the design tightens slightly when you apply leash pressure, deterring escape attempts. However, the loose loop shouldn't be too big – it should only tighten a little when needed.

Should I use a collar or a harness?

There are reasons to have both in your dog's kit. A collar is essential for holding your dog's identification, license, and other tags. Dogs who aren't pullers can often walk on leash with just a collar. For dogs who pull, harnesses tend to be more comfortable by decreasing pressure on their neck.

What other accessories should I use with my dog?

Beyond a collar, Ruffwear offers a variety of outdoor dog gear to enhance your adventures together. Harnesses distribute weight comfortably during walks or pulls, while leashes come in different lengths and styles for every activity. For extended hikes or backpacking trips, consider a dog backpack to carry some of their supplies. We also offer paw protection like socks and boots to shield your pup's feet on rough terrain or in extreme temperatures.
