A martingale collar is a great option for dogs that tend to slip out of their collars, but what if your furry friend loves the water? A waterproof martingale collar is a must-have for any dog that enjoys swimming or playing in the rain.
A standard martingale collar can be made of various materials, but for a waterproof option, look for one made of nylon or polyester.
These collars are designed to prevent your dog from escaping, but they can also be adjusted to fit comfortably around your dog's neck.
Choosing the Right Collar
To choose the right collar for your dog, measure their neck and head comfortably snug against the fur.
Both measurements are essential to ensure the collar will slide easily over the head and can then be adjusted to a comfortable fit around the neck.
For medium dogs, the collar circumference should be between 10"-20" by 3/4" wide, and for large dogs, it should be between 15"-27" by 1" wide.
Take the actual measurements and add 5% to each to determine the best size range.
Both measurements must fall within the selected size range, so be sure to check your calculations carefully.
If your actual measurement is 20”, adding 5% would make it 21”, which falls within the medium dog size range.
Preparing Your Dog
Before introducing a waterproof martingale dog collar to your dog, it's essential to ensure they're comfortable with wearing a collar.
Dogs with sensitive skin may require a gradual introduction to prevent skin irritation.
A good rule of thumb is to introduce the collar in short sessions, starting with 5-10 minutes a day, and gradually increase the duration.
It's also crucial to choose a collar that fits your dog properly to avoid discomfort and potential health issues.
According to the article, a martingale collar is designed to prevent escape and choking by tightening when the dog tries to pull away.
