The 5 Best Doberman Collars For The Big Dogs

Finding the right collar to fit your Doberman’s personality can be difficult, especially if you want something that’s not just spikes or linked chains. There’s also the concern of finding one that will actually fit, as we all know our Dobermans can grow a tad bit tall… Thankfully, there is a wide variety of adorable collars that we think you’ll love, and your dog will too.

Whether you’re interested in snazzy genuine leather, bright reflective collars, colorful bling, or waterproof neoprene, we have it all. Here, we have compiled a list of some our absolute favorites, so take a look and see which one best fits your loving pooch.

Best Doberman Collars to Consider

There are a few things of importance to take into consideration prior to ordering your Doberman’s collar, the most crucial being sizing. Make sure to measure your dog’s neck, leaving at least one to two fingers of space in between the collar and your dog. When looking at the products, match the size of your dog’s neck to the closest size available, if you don’t see your size, consider a different collar. Also check to see if others are saying you should order a size up, or a size down. It’s important to make sure your dog’s collar fits just enough that they’re comfortable but isn’t loose enough that they can get out of it and escape.

Next, consider your dog’s activity level and where they spend most of their time. If your Doberman is highly active and likes to be rambunctious in the yard or play in water, you may want to invest in a durable collar made from nylon webbing or something with neoprene padding, but also stay away from extra embellishments, as they may be disturbed by your dog’s hyperactivity. If your dog lounges around the house frequently and tends to have a calm demeanor, collars with extra embellishments, made from leather, or include bling could be a potentially great option, and should last you longer.

Lastly, pay attention to materials of the collar in general. Leather is water-resistant and looks great, but it won’t do you any good if you dog is constantly playing in water or wrestling with other dogs, as it isn’t as durable as other materials tend to be, such as nylon. Neoprene padding is the best way to avoid water damage to collar. Some collars are made to be pretty, while others are made for longevity, so read the reviews and check for the material prior to your purchase to ensure you have the perfect collar for your dog’s lifestyle and personality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my dog need a collar?

While it is entirely up to you on if your dog wears a collar or not, there will be plenty of times where you will find it is beneficial that you have a collar for your dog. Most laws state that if you’re out walking your dog, they must be leashed, so you’ll need somewhere to attach the leash to. Dog collars have numerous benefits such as being used for training purposes, taking your dog on a walk, attaching dog or GPS tags, transporting doggie waste bags, and more. We highly recommend purchasing a dog collar, as they are the best way to keep control of your dog, especially if you are out in public, or need to keep them within your yards’ limits.

Will the rhinestones fall off of my collar?

If you decide to go with a bling collar that’s decked out in rhinestones, it’s safe to say you may lose one or two with time. Whether the product creator uses glue, iron-on techniques, or they’re hand-sewn, it’s natural for a few gems to come off. If this is a concern to you, some owners like to get a back up bag of a few rhinestones that match, and reapply as they go. This also entirely depends on how active your dog is, as more active dogs may lose more than just a few. However, reviews on the product will be the main place you can check out feedback on how well the collar holds up and their gemstone durability.

Why do collars have reflective stripping?

Reflective material sewn onto collars is extremely helpful when you are in low-light conditions and need to remain visible. For both you and your dog’s safety, it is urged to have your dog wear a collar that includes reflective tape or strips, so that way, you can locate your dog, and vehicles have visibility of your dog as well, which will keep you safe and give you peace of mind when walking early in the morning or at night. Not all collars include this, so if this is something that interests you, make sure the product advertises reflective material.
