FAQs
What dog breeds is the 50cm collar suitable for?
The 50cm (size 5) collar is suitable for medium-sized breeds such as Cocker Spaniels, Poodles, Salukis, and Springer Spaniels, or any dog with a neck circumference of approximately 50cm.
How do I measure my dog's neck for this collar?
Use a soft measuring tape to measure around your dog's neck where a collar would naturally sit. Add about two fingers' width of space for comfort. Compare this measurement to the collar's size guide.
Is this collar safe for all dogs?
The collar is designed with safety in mind due to its welded links. However, chain collars are a specific type of training or control tool and should be used responsibly. Consult with a professional trainer if you are unsure about the suitability for your dog.
How should I clean the chain collar?
Clean the collar with a damp cloth. Ensure it is dried thoroughly after cleaning to maintain its condition and prevent rust.
What material is the collar made from?
The collar is manufactured from mild steel with high-quality chrome plating.
Are the links welded for extra security?
Yes, the links are welded to ensure maximum safety and reliability during use.
Troubleshooting
Collar appears too loose or too tight
Verify that you have selected the correct collar size for your dog's neck circumference. The size 5 is 50cm. If it's still not fitting correctly, consider if another size in the Ancol range would be more appropriate.
Chain links seem stiff or difficult to move
Ensure the collar is clean and free from debris. A light application of a pet-safe lubricant might help, but avoid over-oiling. Check for any bent links that might be causing resistance.
Chrome plating is showing signs of wear or discoloration
Clean the collar gently with a soft, damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. Avoid exposing the collar to prolonged moisture or harsh chemicals, which can degrade the plating over time.
