On a collar this size it is worth knowing what fails first, because it is rarely the webbing. The buckle tongue and the holes it passes through take the wear, and the stitching around the ID loop takes the rest — that loop carries a lead clip and a jangling tag through every walk, so it works harder than any other centimetre of the collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing on a webbing collar is repairable, so the sensible habit is a look rather than a repair: run a thumb over the stitching by the loop every few weeks, and check the buckle holes have not started to tear into ovals. Caught early that is a replacement at your convenience rather than a collar coming apart in a car park. Poly-weave webbing, soft padding, satin buckle, washable at 30°C.\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, so a heavy dog's pull is spread rather than concentrated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin buckle and ID loop, both easy to inspect at a glance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeatherproof and rated by Ancol for swimming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine washable at 30°C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue stays visible on a dark dog in poor light better than the black does.\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, larger Collies and crossbreeds of that build.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners who would rather replace a cheap collar on schedule than nurse an expensive one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs that swim and walk in all weather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA neck of 45–48cm on a fully grown dog fits the Ancol Viva Padded Dog Collar Blue 39-48cm Size 5 more neatly.
