FAQs
Is this collar suitable for breeds other than Greyhounds or Whippets?
While it can be used on other breeds, the contoured 'hound' shape is specifically designed to benefit breeds like Whippets, Lurchers, and Greyhounds by protecting their trachea and distributing pressure. For breeds with different neck shapes, a standard flat collar might be more appropriate.
How often should I condition the leather collar?
It is recommended to treat the collar with a leather conditioner annually to maintain its suppleness and longevity. You may need to condition it more often if it is frequently exposed to harsh weather conditions.
What should I do if the collar gets wet?
If the collar becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid using hairdryers or placing it near radiators, as excessive heat can damage the leather. Once dry, you can apply a leather conditioner.
Can the color rub off onto my dog's fur?
As leather is a natural product, some color transfer may occur if the collar becomes wet. This is more likely with darker colors or when the collar is new. Once the collar is dry and has been conditioned, transfer should be minimal.
What is the warranty period for this collar?
Please refer to the retailer or Ancol's official warranty policy for details on the warranty period and coverage for this product.
What are the exact dimensions of the collar?
The collar is 46cm long in total and is designed to fit neck sizes between 34cm and 43cm. The widest point of the collar is 6cm.
How do I ensure the collar is fitted correctly?
A proper fit allows you to comfortably slide two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck. This ensures the collar is secure without being too tight, which is crucial for comfort and safety, especially with the contoured design.
Troubleshooting
Color transfer from collar
This is a natural characteristic of dyed leather. Allow the collar to dry completely and avoid contact with light-colored materials when damp. Conditioning can sometimes help seal the color.
Collar seems stiff after drying
Leather can stiffen if dried improperly. Allow it to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat. Once dry, apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore suppleness.
Buckle or D-ring feels loose
Check if the buckle is correctly fastened and if any stitching around the hardware appears damaged. If the hardware itself is loose, it may indicate a manufacturing defect, and you should contact the retailer.
Collar not fitting correctly despite adjustment
Ensure the collar is being adjusted within its specified range (34-43cm neck size). If your dog's neck falls outside this range, this collar may not be suitable. Check that the buckle holes are aligning correctly.
