A dog collar is one of the most important everyday accessories your dog will wear. The right collar should be comfortable, secure, durable, and suited to your dog’s lifestyle. Whether your dog is joining you on daily walks, farm adventures, beach trips, or relaxing at home, a well-fitted collar helps keep them safe and comfortable.
Pair your collar with a matching BagEm Collection Designer Dog Collars for the perfect combination of style and practicality. Our matching leads are handcrafted using the same quality materials for a coordinated and durable everyday walking set. Designer Dog Leads – Made in New Zealand
At The BagEm Collection, our collars are thoughtfully designed and handcrafted in New Zealand using quality materials for everyday adventures.
What Makes a Quality Dog Collar?
Our handcrafted collars are made using:
- Durable polyester webbing
- Designer grosgrain ribbon finishes
- Welded metal rings for strength
- Quality plastic components
- Adjustable fittings for the perfect fit
- Handmade with strong UV resistant thread and double or treble stitched for maximum strength on all stress points
These materials are selected to provide a balance of comfort, durability, and style for everyday wear.
Why Correct Collar Fit Matters
A collar that is too tight can cause discomfort and rubbing, while a collar that is too loose may slip off or catch on objects.
The ideal fit allows you to comfortably place two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.
Regular fit checks are especially important for:
- Growing puppies
- Long-haired breeds
- Active working dogs
- Dogs whose weight changes seasonally
How to Measure Your Dog for a Collar
Step 1 — Measure the Neck
Using a soft measuring tape or a piece of string or ribbon, measure around the middle of your dog’s neck where the collar naturally sits.
Step 2 — Allow Comfort Space
Add enough room so you can fit two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck.
Step 3 — Adjust Carefully
Ease the webbing evenly through all fittings to achieve the correct fit and positioning.
Everyday Collar Safety Tips
- Check the fit regularly
- Remove collars from unsupervised dogs for extended periods
- Replace collars if worn or damaged
- Ensure tags and accessories are securely attached
- Hand wash collars regularly to maintain hygiene and extend product life
Caring for Your Dog Collar
To help keep your collar looking its best:
- Hand wash with mild, natural-based detergents
- Air dry thoroughly before reuse
- Rinse after exposure to salt water or mud
- Regular cleaning helps extend the life of your collar
Like most outdoor products, natural fading may occur over time with wear, washing, and sun exposure.
Designed for Everyday Adventures
A good collar should not only look great but also perform reliably every day. From town walks to rural life, a comfortable and properly fitted collar helps keep your dog safe while showing off their personality.
