If your dog treats every puddle like a swimming pool, you know the misery of soggy nylon: hours of dampness, that sour mildew smell, and the skin irritation that follows. The rubyloo Waterproof Dog Collar was built for exactly this problem. A waterproof coating seals the soft webbing, so water beads off instead of soaking in, and the collar dries within minutes of a swim or bath — no more hanging a wet collar over the door overnight.
The coated webbing does more than repel water. It shrugs off mud, dirt, and trail grime, and because moisture never penetrates, odor-causing bacteria never get a foothold. The rust-proof zinc alloy buckle and hardware stand up to saltwater and chlorinated pools alike, so the collar looks and functions like new season after season. The Medium size fits neck sizes 16 to 20 inches at a full 1 inch wide — a comfortable, sturdy profile for Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and other active breeds that live outdoors.
This collar is ideal for swimmers, dock divers, hiking companions, and any dog that comes home wet more often than dry. The smooth coating also means less chafing than rough nylon, even during all-day adventures.
Care is effortless: rinse under the tap or wipe with a damp cloth and it is ready to go — no machine washing needed. Pair it with a matching waterproof leash for a complete water-ready kit. Give your water-loving dog the collar that keeps up with them.
No — that's the main reason to choose a coated-webbing collar. The waterproof coating doesn't absorb water or trap bacteria the way fabric webbing does, so it won't develop the sour smell that wet nylon collars get. Just rinse it after swims, especially in salt or chlorinated water.
Wipe it down with a damp cloth after dirty outings. For heavier grime, use warm water with a little mild soap, then rinse and hang to dry — it air-dries in under an hour. Avoid bleach and machine drying, which can degrade the coating over time.
Yes, coated-webbing collars are made for exactly that. Rinse it with fresh water afterward to wash off salt, sand, or lake residue, and check the buckle and D-ring for grit so the hardware keeps working smoothly.
Often, yes. Because the collar dries quickly and doesn't stay damp against the neck, there's less moisture trapped against the skin — which means fewer hot spots and less bacterial irritation than a soggy fabric collar. Keep the fit snug but not tight, and give the neck a breather after long wet outings.
Measure snugly around the middle of your dog's neck, then adjust so you can slip two fingers flat between the collar and the neck. It should stay put when you tug gently but never pinch or restrict breathing.
