Shakti Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Hi everyone, My daughter has a greyhound mix dog and the usual collars seems to really wear on her skin and she ends up with a bald mark and sore pink skin. Can anyone please suggest where we could buy (or have made) a very soft collar for her please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Half Check is specifically designed for those dogs prone to collar burn. http://www.non-stopdogwear.no/eng/Our-products/Dog-collars# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCresties Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I always seem to recommend these guys :) but honestly the collars I have for my two are the softest leather ever! They are made from Italian calf leather and were so soft from the start. I chose the 'greyhound' style for them and they can custom make to order. http://www.hollyandlil.co.uk/all-at-a-glance-12-w.asp I have had the collars for nearly 5 years now and they are still beautiful :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandiandwe Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 If you go onto a forum called Greytalk and look under pet merchandise there are a lot if collar manufacturers there who do beautiful work. Many do collars lined with velvet, satin or silk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Or maybe ditch the collar and use a harness instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salukifan Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 1. Don't leave a collar on the dog during the day. Mine only wear theirs when outside the yard. This will minimise the chance of rub marks. 2. Choose a soft cotton or lined leather collar for walks. Blackdog sighthound collars are great for everyday wear and wash up well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
