How to fit the collar?
Do not fasten the collar too tightly. You should be able to place two fingers under the collar when fastened. I t is important that your dog feels comfortable when the collar is on, and different collar types suit different breeds of dog. For example a "round" sewn dog collar is particular good for long- haired breeds of dog, and a soft air-cushion collar useful for older dogs or for ones prone to irritation around the neck area.
• leather
Leather is a natural material with a number of benefits. Made well, it looks very smart, is strong and water-repellent, however, if your pet is guilty of constantly chewing, or enjoys swimming, it may be better to invest in a synthetic fibre like nylon.
Ancol's top of the range is the Timberwolf with soft textured leather, for comfort and durability. It is also specially treated with a water repellent chemical [similar to Scotchguard®] to enhance it's durability in adverse weather conditions.
There are many leather collars and leads on the market but there are very few made to the same quality standards as the Ancol range. Each one is made from the best bridle leather that has a consistent grain and thickness and uses natural vegetable tanning processes. The feel, smell and texture of the leather are important checks to make before buying. Some inferior products will crack when folded, and split after very little use. The natural oils of a good quality leather provides an excellent water barrier, but if the product is dry and brittle then it will quickly be damaged by the elements and need replacing after a short period of time.
Ancol are a family owned and run company which started producing collars and leads for dogs, back in the year 1971. From the begining, Ancol had a mission statement, to offer good quality products at competitive prices. Ancol remain the brand leader of pet collars, leads and harnesses, muzzels, bowls and coats.
