Choosing A Burberry Dog Collar

By Aimee Schwartz


Owners use collars on their dogs for a variety of reasons. They may use them with leashes to control them, fit them with identity tags, use them to repel parasites and more. Appearance is obviously another factor as owners want their pets to look good too. Some people go to great lengths to buy luxury accessories for their dogs, including items such as a burberry dog collar or luxury bed.

Burberry is a British luxury fashion house that makes many different products. They are well known for their iconic fabric, and although their current ranges do not include collars, they have inspired many others to produce similar items. These a sold online by a variety of different suppliers. Authentic collars are still available online too from sites like eBay.

One of the main considerations when buying collars, however, has to be size rather than appearance. Those that do not fit properly cause great discomfort from being too tight or slip off if they are too loose. The neck has to be carefully measured and adding an inch for a small breed, two inches for a medium breed and three inches for a large breed is a general rule of thumb.

Another factor to bear in mind when determining fit is the breed and the amount of fur on the animal. Collars should be a comfortable fit whether dogs have just been groomed or whether the hair is a bit longer. Some collars are easily adjustable, and this accommodates for quick growth and variations in hair length.

The width is another consideration. Larger dogs need wider collars whereas a smaller breed might find the weight of a wider one too heavy. A wider one is generally more comfortable than a thin one as less pressure is placed on the neck.

Many different types of collars are available, but people tend to choose buckle collars for the widest variety of situations. These are commonly made of nylon or leather, both of which are durable. Leather has an added advantage of becoming softer with wear due to the oils in the skin. Many different styles and materials are used for the buckles, such as plastic and metal.

Fabrics used may be more traditional plaids and checks, using reds, blacks, browns, and tans. However, more contemporary options are also available. For example, one may purchase one using a fabric with a pink background and a ribbon of black, grey and pink checks. This fabric is used on the outside and leather on the inside of the band. Greens, reds, blacks, blues, greys and tans are commonly used colors.

Budget, materials, functionality, and size are the main factors to consider when making such a purchase. The Comfort of the animal is of far more importance than appearance. However, as long as the fit is perfect, choices of colors and patterns is virtually unlimited.
