Paracord BioThane® Dog collar Shire

The combination of high-quality materials like paracord and brass, paired with a timelessly appealing design, makes the Paracord dog collar perfect for both daily walks and special, formal occasions.

Material:

• Paracord
• Biothane
• Full Brass Fittings

Care: Paracord has the advantage of not rotting when wet and drying quickly. Therefore, Paracord products can be cleaned effectively with water. For optimal results, we recommend soaking the collar/leash in warm water with a mild detergent (e.g., wool detergent) for 2 hours. After soaking, it can be washed in the washing machine at 30°C on the ‘gentle’ setting. Please note that frequent washing may accelerate the aging process and lead to a reduction in color intensity.

To avoid unnecessary exchanges, it is important to measure the correct collar size accurately before placing your order. We offer you two simple methods:

Method 1 - Measuring with an already fitting collar

If you already have a collar that fits your dog well, you can measure the length of this collar. Measure from the beginning of the buckle (where the pin rests) to the hole that is currently used. Compare this value with the length specifications in our size chart and choose the appropriate size. Keep in mind that this method works best if the new and old collar have a similar thickness (see explanation below).

Method 2: Measuring the neck circumference

If you don’t have a suitable collar at hand, you can measure your dog's neck circumference directly. Take a measuring tape (or a thread that you can measure later with a ruler) and wrap it around the spot on your dog’s neck where the collar should sit. The measuring tape should fit snugly but not cut into the skin. Compare this value with the "Suitable Neck Circumference" specifications in our chart and choose the corresponding size. We have already accounted for 2-3 cm of leeway for a comfortable fit. If you prefer a particularly loose collar, you can mentally add another 1-2 cm.

Why do length and circumference differ? At first glance, measuring a collar may seem simple, but there is an important difference between the measured length of a collar and the actual resulting neck circumference. The difference arises from the thickness of the collar. If a collar measures 40 cm in a flat state, it does not automatically have a circumference of 40 cm when worn. This is because the thickness of the collar reduces the inner diameter of the circle when it lies on your dog’s neck. The thicker the collar, the greater this effect. For example, a collar with an 8 mm thickness reduces the inner diameter by that 8 mm, which results in approximately 2.5 cm less circumference based on Pythagorean calculations. Therefore, our Plain collar with a length of 38 cm - 44 cm fits only a neck circumference of 33 cm - 39 cm. This difference takes into account both the smaller inner diameter and the additional leeway for comfort.
