Ancol SOHO Polka Dot Dog Collar – Size L

Ancol SOHO Polka Dot Dog Collar – Large, 45–70cm

Bought alongside the matching SOHO Polka Dot lead this makes a proper set: the same navy webbing and white dots at 2.5cm across on the collar and 1.9cm on the lead, so the scale of the pattern reads as deliberate rather than coincidental. On its own it is simply the large size, adjustable 45–70cm.

The extra band width is there for the weight it carries. A 70cm neck on a lead needs more than a thin strap, and 2.5cm of recycled UK-made webbing spreads that pull without stiffening into something uncomfortable to wear all day.

Performance & Benefits

• Adjustable 45–70cm on 2.5cm webbing, the widest of the three Polka Dot sizes.
• Made in the UK from 100% recycled webbing; Ancol put the saving at about three plastic bottles per collar.
• Weatherproof and hardwearing for year-round wear.
• Machine washable at 30°C.
• Scaled to sit alongside the 100cm SOHO Polka Dot lead and the matching poop bag dispenser and scrunchie.
• Supplied in widely recyclable, plastic-free packaging.

Suitable For

• Large breeds measuring 45–70cm round the neck.
• Owners building the Polka Dot set — collar, lead, dispenser and scrunchie, plus the Daisy & Polka Dot bandana and bow tie sets.
• Dogs that are out in the wet as much as they are indoors.
• A 45–50cm neck falls in the overlap with the medium (30–50cm on 2cm webbing): the medium is lighter, this one has more room left to let out.
• Necks under 45cm will not tighten down safely on this size — the Ancol SOHO Polka Dot Dog Collar Medium or Small is the right choice.

How to Use

• Measure round the base of the neck with a soft tape and allow room for two fingers.
• Set the adjuster, then re-check after a walk or two while the webbing settles.
• Machine wash at 30°C, do not tumble dry, and air dry fully before refitting.
• Keep the ID tag on the lead ring rather than looped through the buckle.

Specification

• Size L. Adjustable 45–70cm. Webbing width 2.5cm.
• 100% recycled webbing, made in the UK.
• Ancol product code 341295.
• Also made in S (20–30cm, 1.5cm wide) and M (30–50cm, 2cm wide).
• Ancol publish no fibre breakdown beyond 100% recycled webbing and no collar weight, so neither is stated here.

Care & Caution

• Keep a two-finger gap between collar and neck, and check it daily.
• Check webbing and buckle often on a big dog — the load is higher and the failure is faster.
• Replace the collar rather than repairing it if the webbing frays or the buckle cracks.
