Genuine Leather Collar Care Guide

Short answer: Wipe a genuine-leather collar with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth, let it air-dry naturally, and avoid soaking or heat.

Everyday care

  • Remove surface dust with a clean, soft cloth.
  • If needed, use a lightly damp cloth and wipe gently; do not saturate the leather.
  • Allow the collar to dry at room temperature before putting it back on your dog.

What to avoid
