Our verdict

For a dog who loves water and mud, this is the collar we recommend. Flex-poly coated nylon repels water and dirt and wipes clean, so it does not hold onto that wet-dog smell the way fabric collars can. It feels soft on the neck, has a zinc alloy buckle and a coated carbon steel D-ring, and comes in five sizes and a long list of colors. Use it for ID and everyday wear, and clip the leash to a harness on walks.

Why we like it

  • Rinse or wipe it after a swim instead of waiting for fabric to dry.
  • Soft-touch coating feels gentle on the neck.
  • Plenty of colors to match a Wild One harness or leash.

Keep in mind

Popular colors sell out in some sizes, so check your color in your size before you decide. For dogs who pull, Wild One itself suggests a harness for walks; a collar is best for ID tags and everyday wear.

Who it’s for

Dogs with neck sizes from 7 to 23 inches. Strap width grows with the size: 1/2 inch on XS, 3/4 inch on S and M, 1 inch on L and XL.

Made for messy dogs

Fabric collars soak up water and hold onto smells. The coated webbing on this collar sheds water and dirt, so a quick wipe gets it clean after the beach or a muddy field.

Sizing

Measure around your dog's neck where the collar sits and add room for two fingers. The sizes overlap slightly, which helps if your dog is between ranges.

Our buying advice

Pick it as the everyday collar that carries your dog's ID, and pair it with a harness for leash walking. Our Wild One reader code applies.
