Brass Hardware

Brass, although strong and mostly waterproof, does tarnish when exposed to oxygen. It therefore needs regular polishing to maintain its colour and shine. Regularly rub with a brass-specific polish and cloth. For heavy tarnishing, use a small amount of lemon juice or tomato sauce to polish. After exposure to salt water, rinse well with freshwater and dry. 

After Swimming

We recommend only purchasing our stainless steel or brass hardware with your collars if your dog enjoys a swim. Exposure to water in Nickel, Black or Antique Brass hardware will cause it to rust. Nickel has some resistance to water exposure however it will rust over time and hardware may become more susceptible to breakage, therefore it is not recommended. If your pup does take a spontaneous swim, please rinse the collar with water immediately after and dry thoroughly. After exposure to saltwater in our waterproof hardware, please rinse your collar well with freshwater. 

General Care - Collars & Leads

It is important to take care of your items to ensure they last. Regular use of collars and leads can cause dirt and oil build-up. Please clean your items regularly to ensure this is removed as this will greatly improve the lifespan of your gear. As with any collar, it is important to give your dog's neck a break every now and then.
