Looking for Cool Camo Dog Collars?
Everyone
likes to wear camo today. So does Fido or Rex. They know a dog does not have to be a hunting trained Pointer to
enjoy a little camouflage pattern around the neck. Camo dog collars come in all styles. There are
even pink camo collars for the ladies in the breed. Okay, so that stretches the boundaries of what is considered
camouflage unless you are in a field of foxglove, but they are still stylishly cool. Hunters wear orange for
safety, so can their dogs. Orange colored camo patterns are also popular. Of course, the traditional green and
desert tan are the best sellers, just like with their human counterparts.
Look for a well woven camo dog collar, even if that means the colors are a bit brighter. Fido can be
tough on his neck gear, especially if he is an outdoorsy type of pooch. Many are waterproof and rustproof just for
that reason. Adjustable nylon is a good choice for its durability. It also dries out quickly, just in case your
hunter dashes through the pond to get that dove you just nailed, or the neighborhood park's fountain chasing a
squirrel.
Whatever the breed from Chihuahua to Great Dane, there is are camo dog collars to fit them. Most will
run less than $25.00, many are half that price. Style doesn't have to be pricey when it comes to your canine
friend. If you want the tough street look, leather collars can also have a splash of camouflage pattern in them.
And of course, don't forget the matching leads and leashes. There are even companion harnesses and jackets you can
buy.
Most collars are around one inch in height and range from ten inches to almost seventeen inches in
circumference. There are a few that go up to twenty inches. So basically, there is one for any size hound you can
imagine. SportDog, Remington (yes the ones that make rifles and hunting gear) and InnoTek are popular brands.
Wetlands also have high quality collars at reasonable prices.
Like any other collar, make sure you know what size fits your dog to avoid chafing or choking. A good rule of
thumb, pardon the pun, is to be able to fit two or three fingers between the collar and the dog's neck. That will
guarantee a snug fit without any irritation. To properly measure, use a cloth measuring tape and wrap it around the
base of the neck, right above where the shoulders begin. That way, the tags will lie comfortably yet the collar
will remain secure enough to not hinder the dog's movements or endanger its safety.
There is no reason you cannot show off your companion in style with camo dog collars. Camouflage is no
longer a military thing. It's a pride statement as well as a functional wardrobe for the outdoorsman . . and
their best friend. Sure, nature provides camo for our pooches in their fur color, but a little around the collar
adds to the effect. Bet you his tail wags just a little more in gratitude.
