FAQs

What makes the HUNTER Porto Dog Collar sustainable?

The collar is sustainable because it uses vegetable tanning, a more environmentally friendly process compared to chrome tanning. The tannins are derived from the leaves of olive trees, utilizing natural resources.

How do I measure my dog's neck for the correct size?

Use a flexible measuring tape to measure the circumference of your dog's neck where the collar would comfortably sit. Ensure you can fit two fingers between the tape and your dog's neck for a proper fit measurement. The HUNTER Porto 65 L is suitable for 50-56 cm.

Can this collar be worn in water?

It is not recommended to submerge the leather collar in water. While it is durable, prolonged exposure to water can alter the leather's texture and may increase the likelihood of discoloration. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth and allow it to air dry.

What is the origin of the leather tanning process?

The leather is tanned using tannins derived from the leaves of olive trees, a process that gives the leather its unique suppleness and natural character.

Is the slight discoloration a defect?

No, slight discoloration is a natural characteristic of vegetable-tanned leather, especially when it's new or exposed to moisture. It is not a defect but rather a sign of the natural tanning process.

Where is the collar manufactured?

The HUNTER Porto Dog Collar is made in Germany, ensuring high standards of quality and craftsmanship.

Troubleshooting

Collar seems stiff initially

Leather is naturally stiff when new. Wear the collar regularly, and it will soften with use. You can also gently massage the leather or apply a small amount of leather conditioner suitable for vegetable-tanned leather.

Slight discoloration observed on dog's fur

This can occur with natural, vegetable-tanned leather, especially when new or wet. Ensure the collar is fully dry. If it persists, consider using a different conditioner or limiting its wear time until the leather stabilizes.

Buckle is difficult to fasten/unfasten

Ensure the buckle prongs are aligned correctly with the holes. If the leather is new and stiff, it might require a bit more force initially. Avoid forcing it, which could damage the leather.

Collar length is too long or too short

This specific model is for neck circumferences of 50-56 cm. If it's not the right fit, please refer to other sizes available in the HUNTER Porto range that may better suit your dog.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the collar in water.
  2. Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a leather conditioner suitable for vegetable-tanned goods to maintain its suppleness and prevent drying. Test the conditioner on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Drying: If the collar becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a hairdryer.
  4. Discoloration: Be mindful that the natural tanning process may lead to slight discoloration, particularly when the leather is new or exposed to moisture. This is normal for natural leather products.
