collars ans accessories for dogs

Choosing the right collar for your dog

An essential accessory for a dog, the collar is crucial. It ensures their safety, thanks to the identification tag that can be attached to it, and also allows for the attachment of a leash when it’s time for a walk. The dog never leaves it, or hardly ever! Therefore, it’s important to find a collar that suits your dog, its size, breed, and lifestyle. In general, prefer a collar that is durable, lightweight, and comfortable to wear, with sturdy metal fastenings rather than plastic ones, which could break quickly.

WHAT TYPE OF COLLAR FOR A PUPPY?

Choosing the first collar for your dog’s life is not always easy. Since puppies grow until about 12 months old, it’s best to choose an adjustable and lightweight collar for your young dog. A leather collar is not recommended for a puppy, as its sharp little teeth would wreak havoc on it. Instead, opt for biothane, extremely resistant and easy to maintain. Perfect for accompanying it in all the discoveries it will make during the first months of its life as a dog, especially in a stable environment. Once it becomes an adult, it is obviously possible to switch to leather, which will prove durable if well maintained. The leather collar also has the advantage of being flexible and odor-resistant. Furthermore, it ages particularly gracefully. To meet all needs, Marpezia has designed collars in leather and biothane, to accompany all dogs and their owners on their adventures.

WHAT MATERIAL FOR YOUR DOG’S LEASH?

The difference is essentially the same in choosing the leash. The leather leash is very maneuverable and feels more natural to the touch. Properly maintained, it is also durable. The biothane leash, on the other hand, is extremely lightweight and easy to maintain. It is also very resistant to UV rays and pulling, which is particularly useful for a large dog that pulls. It will also retain its color and shine longer. Whether in leather or biothane, all Marpezia leashes combine the main material with a rope, extremely resistant. Note that it is an essential dog accessory, especially in the city where it is mandatory to keep your dog on a leash for obvious safety reasons. It is also a courtesy to people you may encounter who may not necessarily want contact with a dog.
