If you’re like the average pet owner, you are probably debating what type of collar is best suited to meet your needs, and to please your pet at the same time. Paws to Tail offers collars and leashes that are specially made with hemp and leather to provide superior comfort for your furry pet, and proper convenience for you as an owner. But why should you buy a hemp dog collar or a leather dog collar over a traditional nylon collar?

First of all, nylon dog collars, the standard dog collars, are not suitable if you wish to provide comfort for your dog when you’re out for a walk. Nylon collars typically cause itching due to irritation of the skin caused by the many allergens that are naturally and artificially inserted into this material. Also, as the nylon material ages, it hardens, creating more and more discomfort and damage to your dog’s skin. Finally, nylon collars are a man-made substance produced by synthesizing chemicals that can be very harmful to your dog’s health.

On the other hand, a hemp dog leash has many advantages. As a hemp dog leash or a hemp dog collar ages, it becomes softer. So your best friend will only be enjoying his collar or leash more and more over time. They are also very easily washable since they generally don’t have a metal ring around the collar. Also, hemp is grown in pesticide-free soil, so you are sure that your dog will not become severely sick from potentially harmful chemicals in the soil. They are 100% biodegradable meaning that once you decide that you want a more stylish or differently designed collar, and you throw your current hemp collar out, it will not cause any harm to the environment whatsoever. Finally and most importantly, hemp is hypoallergenic. This is a big term that simply means that it will cause much, much less allergy-related symptoms for your pet. This way, your pet is ensured comfort and good health!

A leather dog collar or a leather leash can also be beneficial to your pet’s skin, as long as they are made naturally. Leather dog collars are generally stronger and more resistant than nylon dog collars so they will last you a very long time. Also, like hemp dog collars, leather is hypoallergenic so it will not irritate your furry friend’s skin. If you buy a leather dog leash, or a leather dog collar, you can feel safe knowing that your pet will feel like the most stylish dog on the block.

All in all, there are other, healthier alternatives for your pet, so you do not have to resort to the allergy-inducing, uncomfortable nylon collars or leashes. Buy a hemp or a leather dog collar today and you can be sure that your pet will be happy and comfortable, with a stylish touch.
