What is a Martingale collar?    Martingale Dog collars are also known as Greyhound Collars or Humane Choke Dog Collar. The Martingale Dog Collar was designed for Sighthounds because their necks are larger than their heads and they can often slip out of buckle collars. These collars have gained popularity among other breed owners in the recent past with many trainers now recommending them instead of choke chains or choke collars. Martingale Dog Collars are fitted to the exact size of the dog's neck when the Dog Collar is pulled closed. Properly fitted, the collar will be comfortably loose when not in use. When the Martingale Control loop is pulled, the 2 slides (hardware on the small control loop of the Martingale Collar) should pull close together but the two slides should never touch.  Martingale collars should NOT be left on when your pet is unattended.	What is a Combo Collar?   A Combo collar is the same as a Martingale collar, but has a side release buckle. The buckle can make it easier to take off and on for dogs who do not like tings slipped over the head. The Martingale collar on the left does not have a side release buckle and must be adjusted off and on.  The bonus to the "Combo" collar is that you get the safety of a Martingale collar, but you can even jazz it up with swarovski crystals.  If your pet is not into the "crystals" we also make them without. Martingale collars should NOT be left on when your pet is unattended.	What is a Side Release Collar?   A Side Release collar is an adjustable collar (as all of our collars are) and has a Side Release buckle for easy off and on.  These collars can be left on, and you can jazz these up with or without swarovski crystals just as you can our popular "combo collar"
What is a Hip Harness?   This is a classic harness that your dogs legs go through and it covers the chest and buckles on the side.

This is a harness that your dog steps into and it has a buckle on the back with two D rings that you attach your lead to. It tightens when pulled.  It serves the same purpose as our "Hip Harness" but is a personal preference. When choosing embroidery for this harness, the embroidery will be on one of the "shoulder straps" Click photo for a different view All harnesses, including our smoothies, have webbing on the inside. Our products are strong and safe!	How do I measure my pet? Use a soft tape measurer and be sure your pet is standing up if measuring for clothing. *you will get a different measurement if your pet is laying down when measuring* When measuring for a collar: measure around the neck and the largest part of the head if purchasing a Martingale.  Our Betty below will show you the measurements needed for clothing!
