What exactly is a waterproof collar?

Waterproof collars, harnesses, and leashes are made from a polyester webbing with a special PVC coating that makes it easy to clean, repel water, 100% non-toxic, and odor resistant. Think about the strap on your Apple Watch but for your dog.

Whether your dog is walking in the rain, swimming in the lake, or getting a bath it is important to understand the potential consequences of wearing a traditional Nylon or Polyester collar. When traditional Nylon or Polyester collars become wet they can create the perfect environment for the formation of a skin infection which can result in a hot spot. A hot spot can cause lethargy, inappetence and fever depending upon the severity. Additionally, they can harvest bacteria right in the collar which can lead to foul odors.
