Materials and Measurements Guide
Premium Materials for Strength, Durability, and Comfort
At Willabean, we use only the highest quality materials to ensure our products are strong, durable, and reliable. Our PVC-coated webbing and robust hardware are designed to withstand daily wear while keeping your dog comfortable and secure. Whether you're exploring the great outdoors or strolling through the city, our materials provide superior performance in all conditions.
Why Our Materials Stand Out:
- Abrasion-Resistant PVC-Coated Webbing – Built to last, this webbing resists wear and tear, ensuring your dog’s collar and lead stay in top condition.
- 100% Water & Bacteria Resistant – No more worrying about muddy walks or water adventures. Our webbing repels moisture and bacteria for easy maintenance.
- Zero-Stretch Durability – Keeps its shape and strength over time, providing reliable support without stretching or weakening.
- Exceptional Breaking Loads – Our PVC webbing offers a breaking load of 220kg for 16mm width and 250kg for 20mm width, ensuring superior strength.
- High-Quality Hardware – Featuring D-rings (150kg - 170kg), O-rings (150kg), lead clasps (130kg - 166kg), collar buckles (50kg - 110kg), and clasp buckles (80kg - 160kg) for security and durability.
Our materials are designed for dog owners who demand quality, reliability, and ease of care. Whether you're looking for a sturdy collar, a secure lead, or hardware that won’t let you down, our expertly chosen materials deliver the best for both you and your dog.
Getting the measurements right for your dog's collar is crucial for their comfort, safety, and overall well-being. Ill-fitting collars can cause discomfort, restrict movement, or even pose a choking hazard.
If your dog has a collar already that sits comfortably on their neck in a position you are happy with, the easiest thing to do is measure it from end to end (including hardware) to get the right measurements for their new collar!
If you would rather measure your dogs neck, here's a step-by-step guide to ensure you get the measurements right:
Locate the Base of the Neck:
Identify the base of your dog's neck, where the collar would typically sit.
Use Measuring Tape:
Place a soft measuring tape around the base of your dog's neck, ensuring it is snug but not too tight.
Allow Space for Comfort:
Insert two fingers between the measuring tape and your dog's neck. This creates a comfortable fit, allowing for natural movement and preventing any discomfort.
Take the Measurement:
Once you have the tape positioned and the desired space, note the measurement indicated by the tape. Record this number as the ‘neck measurement’.
Determine Collar Size:
Our buckle collars are designed so that the neck measurement of your dog corresponds to the middle hole setting in the collar. This allows for some growing (and shrinking!) room for your furry friend.
Our clasp collars are non-adjustable and don't offer the flexibility of our buckle collars. To ensure the best fit, please provide an accurate measurement when ordering. If you're unsure, we recommend measuring your dog's current collar at its most comfortable setting.
Consider Comfort and Fit:
Ensure the chosen collar size provides a comfortable and secure fit for your dog. It should not be too loose to slip off nor too tight to cause discomfort or restrict movement.
By following these steps, you can accurately measure your dog for a collar and ensure a comfortable and secure fit ready for any adventure.
