Collars & Leads For Puppies

Whether you're welcoming a new puppy into your family or need to upgrade your dog's collar, we've got you covered. Pet Circle is committed to offering a diverse selection of puppy collars to cater to your furry friend's unique needs. Discover our wide range of puppy collars, ensuring your pet's safety, comfort, and style.

How to Choose a Puppy Collar:

Size and Fit: Select a collar that fits your puppy snugly but not too tight. Ensure you can comfortably fit two fingers between the collar and your puppy's neck to prevent choking.

Material and Durability: Opt for a collar made from high-quality, durable materials that can withstand your puppy's energy and playfulness.

Design and Style: Choose a collar with a design and style that matches your puppy's personality, while also considering any additional features like reflective strips for safety during walks.

Safety Features: Look for safety features, such as quick-release buckles, to ensure easy removal in case of emergencies, and consider using a martingale collar for training purposes under supervision.

Adjustability: Select a collar that can be adjusted to accommodate your puppy's growth and changing neck size as they mature. This can save you from having to replace the collar too frequently.

Are Martingale Collars Safe For Puppies?

Martingale collars can be safe for puppies when used properly. These collars are designed to prevent puppies from slipping out, making them suitable for training and leash walking.

With that in mind, there are some safety tips when using martingale collars. It is crucial to ensure a proper fit, allowing two fingers' worth of space for comfort and preventing choking. Always supervise your puppy when wearing a martingale collar and conduct regular checks for any signs of wear and tear.

These collars are not suitable for tethering or tie-outs and should be used temporarily during training. If your puppy excessively pulls, these would not be recommended and a halti would be more suitable. Seek professional guidance if you're unfamiliar with their proper usage.

How Tight Should A Puppy Collar Be?

A puppy collar should fit snugly but not too tight. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your puppy's neck, for both comfort and safety. Check the collar every week if it needs adjusting as your puppy grows.

How Do You Get A Puppy Used To A Collar?

Getting your puppy used to a collar is important for their comfort and safety. Start by introducing the collar in short sessions, allowing your puppy to wear it for gradually longer periods. Offer treats and positive reinforcement to create a positive association with the collar. Even if comfortable, puppies can scratch at the collar at first, but they will eventually get used to wearing one and not notice it is there.

What age should you put a collar on a puppy?

Your puppy will need a gentle introduction to the sensation of wearing a collar, and it's best to start this young. From the age of 8-10 weeks, try putting a collar on your pup for short periods, and distract them with treats or play while they wear it so they associate it with positive experiences.
