This sturdy collar features nickel hardware, including a D-Ring by the buckle and an O-Ring for attaching a lead or leash. The collar's Biothane® material ensures it is easy to clean – simply wipe down with warm water.
What sets this collar apart is the complimentary personalized solid brass nameplate attached. However, for those who prefer a different aesthetic, DOGS Unlimited offers a stainless steel nameplate option, harmonizing perfectly with the collar's nickel hardware. Both brass and stainless steel nameplates are firmly attached using either swat rivets or machine-stamped rivets.
For the perfect fit, this collar is available in a range of neck sizes, from 16" long to 24" long. The measurement is taken from the end of the buckle to the middle of the 5 holes, not the entire length of the collar, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit for your canine companion.
Choose Mendota Safety Dog Collar for a personalized, tough, and waterproof solution that stands out. Your dog deserves the best – and Mendota delivers.
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.
- Made using durable Biothane material
- Stays pliable in cold weather
- Highly visible in the field
- Will not hold dirt or scent
In field use, the BioThane surface remains pliable through cold mornings and wet retrieves, filtering dirt easily and resisting odor buildup between cleanings. Cleaning is simple: wipe with warm water after muddy field work, then air-dry away from direct heat or sunlight. The collar's hardware is nickel-plated for corrosion resistance in damp conditions, and the D-Ring and O-Ring provide secure lead attachment during line retrieves and sprinting drills. The included brass nameplate adds identification, with stainless steel as an optional alternative; both mount using either swat rivets or machine-stamped rivets, depending on how the dog works. For field dogs that see pulling or repeated tugging during training, machine-stamped rivets offer a more permanent attachment, while swat rivets allow quicker plate changes when updates are needed. Remember to measure the neck as described: buckle end to middle hole, not the full length, and choose a neck size within 16 to 24 inches to ensure a snug, safe fit during upland training and waterfowl work. A properly fitted collar stays secure during vigorous moves and reduces snag risk on cover and brush.
