Care & Maintenance
Cleaning nylon collars
  • Remove any pins/tags.
  • Dampen a soft cloth with lukewarm water; add a tiny drop of mild soap.
  • Gently wipe the nylon. Over the embroidered letters, dab rather than scrub.
  • For dried mud near stitches, use a very soft brush around (not on) the letters.
  • Wipe again with clean water until no soap remains (residue attracts dirt).
  • Blot with a towel and air dry flat away from heat/sun.

Important

  • No bleach, stain removers, solvents, or fabric softener.
  • Don’t soak for long or machine-wash/tumble-dry.
  • Rinse after saltwater or chlorine and dry the hardware.
Embroidery care

• Do not scrub the letters; use a lint roller for fluff or hair.

• If you notice a tiny loose end, trim carefully,do not pull. Then quickly seal the cut nylon edge with a lighter, but very brief pass to melt the fibers.

Important

Keep the flame away from embroidery and hardware, work in a ventilated area, and let it cool fully before use.

• Slightly off-straight stitching is normal on sturdy, flexible nylon.

Fit & safety checks

• Use the two-finger rule, snug but comfortable. Recheck after grooming or growth.

• Inspect stitching, eyelets, and buckle monthly; discontinue use if you see fraying or damage.

Important

• Not for tie-outs or unattended tethering. Do not attach to cables, stakes, or fixed objects.

• For supervised use only. Never leave your dog tied up and unattended.

• Do not use with tie-out cables or to secure a dog to a fixed point; this can cause injury and damage the product.

Hardware care

Pins & dog tags (18K gold-plated stainless steel)

• Rinse after rain, mud, or beach days; dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh cleaners, chlorine, and perfume. Polish gently with a soft cloth, micro-scratches from normal wear are normal.

Collar and leash hardware ( zinc alloy, gold-tone finish)

• Keep dry where possible. After water, saltwater, or chlorine exposure, rinse with fresh water and dry well. Avoid metal polishes/abrasives (they can thin the finish). Cosmetic wear over time is expected.

General tips

• Wipe off grit/sand promptly, don’t store damp, and remove the collar for swimming when you can to prolong the finish.

Water & weather

• Nylon handles rain; rinse after heavy mud or saltwater and let it dry fully.

• Avoid prolonged soaking or storing the collar while damp.

Personalization & Embroidery
Dog Tags

What can I engrave?

• Your dog’s name and/or your phone number. See character limits on the product page.

Front and back engraving

• Laser engraving available on both sides.

• You can choose the same or different text per side.

• Character limits apply per side.

Finish and material

• 18K gold-plated stainless steel for a polished look and lasting durability.

Embroidery

Font options by size

• XS and S widths use our standard font for best legibility (space is limited).

• M, L, and XL offer multiple font choices.

Will the embroidery be perfectly straight?

• Each collar is stitched by us on sturdy, flexible nylon, so a tiny wiggle or slightly off-straight letters can happen.

• We hand-check every piece to keep it neat and readable; small variations are normal and part of the handmade charm.

Thread color tips

• For best readability, choose high-contrast thread (light on dark collars, dark on light).

• Metallic or very pale tones can read softer/subtle in real life.

Name length and letter size

• Longer names may require slightly smaller letters or tighter spacing to fit neatly within the collar width.

• Character limits are shown on each product page.

Special characters

• To keep quality high, we don’t guarantee perfect results with accents (ë, à, é), so we leave them out.

Sizing & Fit

How to measure your dog’s neck

• Measure where the collar sits, snug but not tight, then add two fingers for comfort. Need help? View our Size Guide.

Important

Delivery times are estimates in business days.

  • Customs checks for non-EU destinations such as the United Kingdom, Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland can add extra days.
  • Local public holidays anywhere along the route can slow carrier and customs processing.
  • Carrier delays due to strikes, weather, or network disruptions can extend delivery times.
  • Remote areas and islands (e.g., Greek islands, Azores/Madeira, Canary Islands, Åland, Faroe) may take longer.
  • Address issues, failed delivery attempts, or pick-up point holds can add time.
  • Security screening or additional border controls on certain routes may cause delays.
  • Small tracking gaps can occur when parcels transfer between partner carriers; the parcel is still in transit.

• If tracking hasn’t updated for several days or shows delivered but you can’t find the parcel, contact us.

• We’ll open a carrier investigation and update you along the way.

• Investigations typically take 7–14 business days (varies by carrier and country).
