Dura-Lon Dog Collar, D-End Style

This Dura-lon Dog Collar comes in a D-end Style collar configuration - just the opposite setup as the Standard Style collar - the D-Ring comes first followed immediately by the buckle. The D-ring is used to attach additional tags like a dog license and rabies tag as well as a leash or lead rope.

DOGS Unlimited's Dura-Lon collar is made to stand up to years of use by the roughest of dogs. They're made from authentic BioThane coated webbing to reduce the possibility of wicking in wet or humid conditions; wicking is what causes de-lamination which could result in failure of the collar over time. Not good if you expect your collar to last.

At 1" wide the BioThane coated webbing has been tested to a breaking strength of 1000 lbs and it's fade resistant. The lightweight, smooth finish minimizes irritation from rubbing, won't rot, and resists chewing. These Dura-lon collars have nickel-plated hardware and all rivets are capped to reduce catching on your good dog's hair.

Each DOGS Unlimited Dura-lon collar comes with a FREE personalized solid brass nameplate attached. For your consideration, DOGS Unlimited has a stainless steel nameplate option which will go very nicely with the collar's nickel hardware. Solid brass or stainless steel, your choice. As always our brass nameplates come with either brass swat rivets or machine stamped solid brass rivets while the stainless steel nameplates will come with nickel plated swat rivets or machine stamped nickel plated steel rivets.

A word about our rivet options:

We offer two styles of rivets to attach our nameplates - SWAT Rivets and Machine Stamped Rivets.

SWAT Rivets are free and a nice option for dogs that are pets whose collars do not get pulled or tugged. They are a thin metal rivet and are swatted with a hammer to attach the nameplate to the collar. Because they are made of thin metal they are easy to drill out if you need to change out the nameplate with a new, updated nameplate. But they are also easily popped off if the collar gets tugged on or pulled on.

Machine Stamped Rivets are a tubular rivet post and cap set and the same style rivet that's used when making the collar. It's a very strong rivet and takes a rivet machine to attach the cap to the post. They are a much more permanent rivet when it comes to attaching the nameplate and are great for working dogs and dogs whose collar will be pulled and tugged.

- VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COLLAR SIZING -

We measure our collars from the end of the buckle to the middle of 5 holes NOT the entire length of the collar, so when we say that a collar has a NECK SIZE of 15" long this length is the distance between the buckle and the middle hole. Ultimately this measurement is based on your dog's Neck Size.

With that in mind, the best way to get a collar that fits properly is to put a string around your dog's neck where the collar will lay, and where it meets, cut it off and measure it. If you have a tailor's tape, you can do the same measurement and read the tape where it meets. That is the figure we will need to send you a collar that fits your dog correctly.
