Benefits

Some of the advantages of utilizing leather dog collars are that they last a long time provided you take care of them properly. Even though they are more expensive initially than rayon or nylon collars, they can sometimes last longer than the life of your dog. Some owners of dogs who get good and muddy prefer to use leather dog collars and leashes than of other materials because it is so durable.

Leather has an undeniably timeless look and a great smell, if you take care of the leather right. There are now a big selection of leather dog collars in different patterns, colors, with rhinestones or other additions. There are even renowned designers of people fashions who are getting into pet fashions.

Disadvantages

The main drawback of leather dog collars is that it’s made out of very tasty animal hide. At least, your dog thinks it’s tasty. You can’t explain to your dog that it’s not alright to chew on the $100 rolled leather dog collar but it is alright to chew on rawhide treats. They are made of nearly the same stuff. Dogs will chew on leather, but with patience and persistence, they can be trained not to.

Other disadvantages are having to clean and condition the leather dog collar and leash. You dont have these worries with nylon or rayon collars and leashes. You can throw them in the bath along with the dog. But prolonged exposure to soaking water will destroy leather. You need to get special soaps and conditioners for them. You might need to have the leather collars worn only on special occasions.

If you are a vegetarian or vegan, than you are already trying to cut out all animal-based products from your life. Killing cows for dog collars might not sit well on your conscious. But there are attractive faux leather dog collars that are almost as tough as leather on the market. As an added bonus, they don’t have the strong smell that attracts dogs looking for a quick snack.
