A dog collar and leash are essentials for the pampered pooch. Affordable dog collars with a name tag and phone number are a simple way to make sure that your doggie can always find their way home. Microchipping is excellent too, but the chip needs to be read by a vet.

A dog collar with a name tag makes it easy for people to get your contact details with as little effort for themselves as possible. Alternatively, if you buy dog collars online, you’ll usually have the opportunity to personalize them with the dog’s name and your phone number instead of using a tag.

When choosing a collar or dog lead, it’s best to take a neck measurement before you place your order. The dog collar needs to be loose enough that it can move freely around the dog’s neck, but not so loose that they can slip out of it.

Leashes for dogs are essential if you plan to take your dog out of your yard. In some towns and cities, you are required by law to keep your dog on a leash if you’re out in public. It’s quick and simple to buy a dog lead online or in-store, so there’s no excuse not to have one.

When choosing the right dog lead, do keep your dog’s breed in mind. For a larger dog, you’ll need a thicker, stronger leash. A nylon webbing leash is a good option because it is strong, durable, and is also easy to keep clean.
