How often do you clean your dog's collar?
Dog collars are used every day, on every dog for walking, training, and identification. After your dog has been running, rolling in the dirt (and other things), hiking, swimming and sleeping, his dog collar can begin to absorb and hold odors from the day.
Even after giving your dog a bath, putting the same stinky collar back on can make your pup smell like a wet dumpster. To make sure your dog's collar smells fresh remember to clean it each time you give your pup a bath.
Below are some care tips for different types of collar materials:
Leather: Leather can develop odors from the oils on your dog's coat. Clean leather occasionally with leather care products. Leather will last a long time if cleaned and conditioned every few weeks.
Nylon: Nylon collars work best for water dogs since they tend to dry fast and take longer to start to smell. Clean nylon often with a damp cloth and collar cleaner to wipe away the dirt. Also, since nylon collars are in expensive, consider replacing the collar once it begins to look worn.
Rubber: Rubber collars are durable and tend to resist odors. But, be careful of rubber collars since they may streach if used with a leash.
Make sure to keep his collar clean because if you can't handle the smell of his stinky collar then his friends are probably thinking the same thing!
