Dogs Department Soft Collar

This is a beautiful and elegant Soft Collar made of fine leather and soft lining. In addition to being very soft, this collar is also light in weight.
It is available in 3 colours; dark brown/ black, brown/ pruple, black/ creme and red/ creme.
It is also available in 7 different sizes; 25 - 28.5cm, 29.5 - 35.5cm, 34 - 40cm, 39 - 45cm, 44.5 - 51cm, 49 - 57.5cm and 54 - 62.5cm.


Rocky got the dark brown/ black soft collar as I thought that would suit him best.


Each collar includes a little bone charm that is attached to the leash ring.


Furthermore, each collar has an embossed Dogs Department logo.



There are matching Soft Leashes available which are also available in dark brown/ black, brown/ pruple, black/ creme and red/ creme. All leashes are 150cm long.

Rocky with his new Dogs Department Soft Collar:


Review: I think the Dogs Department Soft Collars look great! The dark brown/ black Soft Collar suits Rocky very well, but I also really liked the other colour combinations.
The collar is really soft which makes it very flexible and it adjusts well to the dog's neck.
I also really like that each collar is hand-made and it's easy to tell how much care Dogs Department puts into making their products.
Furthermore, I think the little features such as the cute little embossed Dogs Design logo and the little bone tag are very neat.
I was especially impressed about receiving the collar in a little bag so the collar is protected during the transit. Also when not in use, the collar can easily be put back into the bag in which it can be safely kept.
I only have to say though that the collar size was not as stated. It says that the smallest size has holes from 25 - 28.5cm. However, the collar that I have received has holes from 20.5 - 25.5cm, which is considerably less. Hence, the collar is a bit tight for Rocky who would have at least needed a hole at 27cm in order to fit perfectly (as his neck measures 25cm and he has some extra fluff). Thus, I will probably get a professional to make another hole.
Besides the difference in size, I am overall very happy with the soft collar.
