Nine centimetres of adjustment usually carries one dog through a summer coat and a winter one without a second collar being needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it goes on a dog that gets wet, the washing instruction is worth reading properly. Ancol say machine wash at 30°C, do not tumble dry, and let it air dry naturally before reuse. The last part is the bit people skip. A padded collar holds water in the padding for longer than plain webbing does, and putting a damp one straight back on a thick-coated dog is how you end up with a smell and a sore patch under the jaw — so it is worth having a spare if your dog swims in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits necks 45–54cm, with 9cm of adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft padding behind poly-weave webbing, which spreads pressure on a dog with the weight to lean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin buckle and ID loop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine washable at 30°C — a real advantage over leather at this size, which cannot be soaked.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeatherproof and rated by Ancol for swimming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack is the most forgiving colour in the range for mud and grease.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs measuring 45–54cm at the base of the neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabradors, Springers, working Collies, Staffordshire crosses and similar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs that swim, and households happy to wash a collar rather than dry-wipe it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs whose neck changes measurably between a clipped and a full coat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNecks measuring 45–48cm on a dog that has stopped growing sit better on the Ancol Viva Padded Dog Collar Black 39-48cm Size 5.
