Product Information

Full details

The BullyBillows 5cm LIGHTER Combat Collar is designed for dog owners seeking a durable and secure collar with reduced bulk. Its key benefit is offering the same high-level security and professional-grade construction as the original Combat® collar but in a significantly lighter package. A potential caveat for some users might be the specialized clip system, which requires deliberate action to release.

FAQs

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure your dog's neck circumference and use the collar's adjustability to ensure a two-finger gap between the collar and the neck when fastened.

Is the 'lighter' design suitable for all dogs?

The lighter design is ideal for most medium to large breeds, offering comfort and reduced bulk. For very small or toy breeds, the 5cm width might be too substantial.

How secure is the Combat® clip?

The clip is pressure-tested and engineered with a dual-lever release, requiring simultaneous pressure on both sides to open, making accidental release highly unlikely.

Can I attach a GPS tracker to the collar?

Yes, you can attach GPS trackers or identification tags to the Aluminium Alloy D-Loop.

What is the purpose of the Neoprene lining?

The Neoprene lining provides cushioning, prevents rubbing and irritation on the dog's coat, is odourless, and dries quickly.

How often should I clean the collar?

It is recommended to clean the collar periodically, especially if it gets dirty or wet. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is advised.

Is this collar suitable for puppies?

While adjustable, this collar's 5cm width is generally more suitable for maturing or adult dogs of medium to large breeds. Always monitor puppies with any collar.

Troubleshooting

Collar won't stay adjusted

Ensure the sliding buckles are properly seated and tightened. If the webbing is worn, consider replacing the collar.

Clip is difficult to open

Ensure you are pressing both side levers simultaneously and firmly. The mechanism is designed to be secure; slight resistance is normal. If it remains stuck, check for debris and clean the clip.

Dog seems uncomfortable or has rubbing

Re-adjust the fit to ensure it's not too tight. Ensure the Neoprene lining is clean and free of debris that could cause irritation.

D-Loop feels loose

Inspect the stitching around the D-Loop. If the stitching appears damaged or frayed, the collar should be replaced immediately for safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
