What makes this one worth choosing over a leather collar of the same size is water: Ancol describe the poly-weave webbing as weatherproof and put swimming on the list of things the Viva range is meant for, which no leather collar can honestly claim. A dog that goes into a river four times a week is a dog that should not be wearing leather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWet use does need a routine, though. Rinse the mud and salt out rather than letting it dry in, wash it at 30°C when it needs it, and let it air dry all the way through — the padding stays damp for a while after the webbing feels dry. Skip that and you get the smell rather than a failure, but the smell is what people notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits necks 39–48cm, with 9cm of adjustment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeatherproof poly-weave webbing that Ancol rate for swimming as well as walking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft padding behind the webbing for comfort on longer wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSatin buckle and ID loop.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine washable at 30°C — the real advantage over leather for a dog that swims.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed stays easy to pick out against water and green cover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs measuring 39–48cm at the base of the neck.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDogs that swim regularly, or work in wet cover.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoastal and river walking where salt and silt get into everything.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners replacing a leather collar that has stiffened from repeated soakings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNecks over 48cm need the Ancol Viva Padded Dog Collar Red 45-54cm Size 6.
