How to wash and care for your dog's collar or harness
By Editor
Muddy Paws got you down? Don't worry, you can wash your 2HD dog harness, collar, or leash and get back to the fun!
To keep your dog as safe and comfortable as possible, choose the right collar for your dog’s personality and lifestyle. If your pup loves romping around outside and gets messy often, avoid collars with delicate designs or special embroidery. Once you’ve found a collar that’s sturdy enough to withstand your dog’s lifestyle, be sure to pick the right size and width. Typically, the larger the dog, the thicker the collar.
Since you should air dry your dog’s collar, it’s always a good idea to have a spare (or several) on hand. Make sure every collar has the most up-to-date information and fits properly before putting it on your dog. If you have different collars for different seasons or holidays, the start of a new season is a great time to wash your dog’s current collar and try on a new one.

Wash Your Dog’s Collar, Harness, and Leash Regularly
Your dog’s collar goes everywhere with your dog...including all the puddles they’ve jumped in, lakes they’ve swam in, and mud they’ve rolled in. Keep your dog looking (and smelling) fresh by regularly washing their collar. Before you toss it into the machine, check the collar’s care instructions. Some delicate collars may require hand-washing, but all 2 Hounds Design products are machine washable. Place the item in a pillow case or lingerie bag and run on the gentle cycle. Then, air dry the collar, avoiding direct sunlight. Before you know it, your dog’s collar will look as good as new! Make sure that the collar is completely dry before putting it back on your dog.Keep A Spare
