The collar is an essential accessory for every dog, but many owners wonder if it can damage their four-legged friend's coat. In this article, we will debunk some myths and give you practical tips to keep your dog's coat healthy and shiny.

Myths and truths about collars and dog hair

- Myth: A collar always ruins a dog's coat.

- Truth: The choice of material and the fit of the collar are fundamental. Collars made of rigid materials or those that rub excessively can cause hair breakage and skin irritation.

- Myth: Leather collars are the best for the coat.

- Truth: Leather can be a valid material, but it requires maintenance and can cause allergies. Modern materials like BioThane and waterproof webbing offer superior advantages in terms of softness, durability, and ease of cleaning.

How to choose the right collar to protect your dog's coat

1.Quality materials: Opt for collars made with soft, hypoallergenic, and resistant materials like BioThane or the waterproof webbing found exclusively at www.frido.it. These materials reduce friction and prevent irritation. Check out, for example, our Biothane collars or our Pop line collars in waterproof webbing.

2.Perfect fit: Make sure the collar is neither too tight nor too loose. You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and the dog's neck.

3.Regular maintenance: Clean the collar regularly to remove dirt and residue that can irritate the skin. Our BioThane and waterproof webbing collars are extremely easy to clean—a damp cloth is all you need!

4.Alternation: If your dog wears a collar for many hours a day, consider alternating it with a harness, especially during walks. Discover our comfortable and custom-fit harnesses.
