How to Swap to Non-Toxic dog collars, harnesses & leashes:
Here's how to swap to non-toxic dog collars, harnesses & leashes:
What to know about dog collars, harnesses & leashes
Your dog wears a collar or harness against their skin for most of the day, often for years. The materials these products are made from — the fabrics, dyes, coatings, and hardware — can matter because of that prolonged, direct contact.
- Many conventional collars and leashes are made from synthetic materials treated with chemical coatings, dyes, or water-resistant finishes that can sit against your dog's skin and fur all day.
- Dogs that chew on their leash or collar also have mouth contact with these materials, which makes what they're made of even more relevant.
Check what your current gear is made of
Look at the label or product listing for your dog's collar, harness, and leash. Focus first on items your dog wears constantly, like an everyday collar or harness.
- Check whether the product mentions the base material and whether it notes any coatings, waterproof treatments, or dye processes.
- If your dog has skin irritation, hair loss, or redness where the collar sits, the material or finish may be worth looking into first.
Use your current gear more safely
Replacing every collar and leash at once isn't always practical. A few simple habits can help reduce your dog's exposure to questionable materials in the meantime.
- Wash new collars, harnesses, and leashes before first use to help remove residual dyes and chemical finishes from manufacturing.
- Remove your dog's collar when they're indoors or supervised to give their skin a break from constant contact with treated materials.
Choose cleaner replacements
Look for collars, harnesses, and leashes made from simple, natural, and minimally treated materials. Prioritize replacing the item your dog wears most — usually their everyday collar or harness.
- Look for products made from natural fibers like organic cotton or hemp, or vegetable-tanned leather, with undyed or naturally dyed fabrics and metal hardware free of heavy coatings.
