EcoWeave Rainbow Pride Dog Collar: Fit and Care Guide

Quick answer

Fit the Ecoweave Rainbow Pride Dog Collar snugly but with room for two fingers, and clean it with mild soap and water to preserve the vibrant colors and recycled webbing.

Step-by-step fit and care guide

1. Measure your dog's neck: Use a soft measuring tape around the base of the neck where the collar sits. Add two finger widths (about 2 inches) for a comfortable fit. A common mistake is measuring too tightly, which can cause discomfort or breathing issues. Check the fit by sliding two fingers between the collar and your dog's neck.
2. Adjust the collar: Slip the collar through the buckle and tighten until it's snug but not tight. The collar should not spin around the neck. A common mistake is leaving too much slack, which can lead to the collar slipping off or getting caught on objects. Re-check the fit after a few minutes of wear, especially if your dog is active.
3. Clean the collar regularly: Hand wash with mild soap (like dish soap) and cool water. Scrub gently with a soft brush to remove dirt. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and machine washing, which can damage the recycled webbing and fade the rainbow print. A common mistake is using hot water, which can weaken the fibers. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
4. Store properly: When not in use, hang the collar in a dry, shaded area. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or direct sun for long periods. A common mistake is storing it damp, which can lead to mildew on the webbing. If the collar gets wet from rain or swimming, dry it flat before storing.
