Frequently Asked Questions

SIZING

We sure do! You can find it in our website footer or here Size Guide

Getting your dog’s neck measurement is easy!

If they currently wear a well-fitted collar, you can measure that one by laying it flat and using a ruler or tape measure.

Alternatively, take a piece of string and gently wrap it around your dog’s neck where the collar would sit, then lay it flat and measure the length.

Make sure you can fit two fingers comfortably between your dog's neck and the collar, so it's not too tight. 

Our collars are adjustable, making them perfect for growing puppies.

Some breeds grow very quickly, so make sure you allow for extra room when choosing your collar size.

We want you to get the most out of your purchase! If you're unsure, please Contact Us we’re here to help. 

Our best seller is the Regular 150cm long lead which is a great all-rounder, but it really comes down to personal preference and how your dog walks on the lead.

It helps to note, if you're a tall person with a tiny dog, you might be more comfortable with our Long 180cm lead, whereas a shorter person with a larger dog might feel more comfortable using the Short 120cm lead.

We make everything in-house, so if you’re after a custom length, please get in touch

Yes! Our hemp is 100% hypoallergenic, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and breaths.

There are ZERO toxins or chemicals so no nasties lingering around your dogs neck and body.

Making the switch to hemp is extremely beneficial for dogs who have itching, redness or hair loss around the neck. It provides relief and healing to sensitive or irritated skin.

We offer three different hemp webbing choices to suit all doggy lifestyles. The main difference between each is the weave and finish.

Please refer to our Hemp Webbing Guide for more details.

We use high quality NICKEL FREE zinc alloy hardware for all products, it's a hypoallergenic, lightweight and recyclable metal.

PRODUCTS

Yes, they certainly can!

The alloy hardware is high quality but requires a quick rinse and air dry after being in contact with salt water or mud to ensure a longer lifespan.

Our 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel and Solid Brass hardware options don't need much care, but we still recommend giving them a rinse now and then to keep any internal springs in good order.

No! You'll be pleasantly surprised to know that hemp fibre is naturally stain-resistant.

Of course your collar, lead or harness will get dirty because dogs love mud and rolling in things! BUT you can simply rinse out your hemp threads with plain water or add some mild soap, and they will be good as new. 

Check over your pet's accessories regularly.

If you see any damage to the webbing or hardware, stop using them immediately for safety reasons.

Our webbing won't snap with a small tear, but the hemp will slowly unravel and come apart over time with tension. This is unsafe if your dog decides to pull.

It can feel unnatural for many dogs to wear things on their neck or body. Like all non-essential accessories, if your dog doesn't like wearing them, please don't force them.  

washing

Yes!! It's super important to wash your dog’s accessories and bedding for hygiene reasons. 

Everything we make can be hand or machine washed with natural, gentle detergents.

Washing instructions can be found on each product page, care labels or below.

Don't be fooled by the naturally light colour of our products. Hemp is naturally stain resistant and sheds dirt much easier than most textiles!

Hand Wash
In cold water with gentle, natural soap and leave to dry in the sun.

Machine Wash
On a cold, delicate setting with gentle, natural detergent and hang to dry. We recommend using our washing bag or wrapping it in a towel to avoid damage to the hardware and your machine.

Saltwater & Mud 
Our zinc alloy hardware is high quality and resistant to corrosion but isn't immune to it. A quick rinse with fresh water after contact with salt water or mud ensures a longer life span of your collar.

IMPORTANT - Use only gentle detergents and no softener. Standard detergents contain harsh chemicals that can damage the natural fibres causing them to break down. Our favourites are Koala Eco, Kin Kin and Dr Bronner's.

Hand Wash
In cold water with gentle, natural soap, lay flat in the shade to dry.

Machine Wash
On a cold, delicate setting with a gentle, natural detergent. No softener! Lay flat in the shade to dry or tumble dry on a cool setting.

A quick iron will keep it looking great! (don't iron over the label).

IMPORTANT - Use only gentle detergents and no softener. Standard detergents contain harsh chemicals that can damage the natural fibres causing them to break down. Our favourites are Koala Eco, Kin Kin and Dr Bronner's.

sustainability

This is a great question! Sustainability is extremely important in every aspect of our lives if we want future generations to thrive.

A definition of the word sustainability is ‘the ability to continue or be continued for a long time.' It applies to the environment, social equality and the economy.

If we're always taking resources from the earth but not giving back or leaving harmful traces, then we don’t have a sustainable planet that can keep providing life. The same applies if we are paying under $10 for an outfit that has travelled halfway across the world, someone, somewhere, is not getting paid enough to continue surviving. If we farm fibres or vegetables using pesticides or herbicides, we leave the soil unhealthy, and over time, it becomes too damaged to grow anymore. 

The future of our planet, the people and the animals is in our hands. None of us are perfect, but many small sustainable choices can make a world of difference.

Yes, and we are so happy you asked!

It's extremely important to do your own research when looking for truly sustainable products or businesses. You need to weed through the 'green washing' and marketing bull to ensure what you're buying is actually eco-friendly and sustainable.
