FAQs

How do I place an order?

Via this website! Otherwise, feel free to email us or send us a DM on Facebook or Instagram.

How do I wash my products?

We recommend a cold hand wash, wiping all hardware dry after getting the dirt off and then hang-drying the item in the shade. This will ensure the longevity of your products. If there's a stubborn stain, a Napisan or equivalent in cold water can't hurt.

Are your products 'beach friendly'?

Our brass, stainless steel and plastic hardware options are beach friendly. 
We do, however, recommend that you rinse the products thoroughly with cold tap water after being at the beach to get rid of that salt water and minimise the chances of accelerated wear. 

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the standard gold, silver and rose gold options are beach friendly. If you do use products with this hardware at the beach, rinse thoroughly with cold water afterwards to reduce chances of accelerated wear.

Do your collars fit cats too?

Yes! We've made a few standard collars for a bunch of cats and kittens, in fact! Generally an X-Small will fit your cat/kitten, but do get in contact with us if you require a smaller size. We'd be more than happy to help you out.

What are the collar size options?

For the standard style of collar, the sizes available include:

X-Small fits neck sizes 19-25cm
Small fits neck sizes 25-35cm
Medium fits neck sizes 35-45 cm
Large fits neck sizes 45-55cm
X-Large fits neck sizes 55-65cm

For the martingale style of collar, the sizes available include:

X-Small fits neck sizes 25-30cm
Small fits neck sizes 30-40cm
Medium fits neck sizes 35-50 cm
Large fits neck sizes 50-70cm

Quick hint: a size Medium is the most common for greyhounds. The Medium size also fits my large German Shepherd

How do I measure my dog to work out their collar size?

The collar sizes are based on the circumference of your pup's neck. To measure this, grab a flexible tape measure, and put it around their neck - you'll be able to read the measurement from there. If you have troubles doing this, shoot us an email or message and we'll be able to help you out!

Note: Make sure that the tape measure is not too tight around your pup's neck (being able to fit two fingers underneath is a good rule of thumb). The tape measure should be about the fit that you'd like the collar to be.

How do I measure my dog to work out their Greyhound Harness size?

The Greyhound Harness sizes are based on your dog's chest depth (aka girth) and the base of their neck. The chest girth measurement should be taken at the 'deepest'/widest point on your pup's chest, and the neck measurment should be right at the base of their neck (where the neck joins with the chest). See the below helpful diagram for the roough locations of measurements. 

As all harnesses are made to order, every size is custom made. Please note your pup's measurements in the notes to seller box at check out. We will confirm with you via email following placement of your order. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have trouble measuring your dog!

See below the old standard sizes for reference. Most greyhounds tended to be a size Large.

Small: Chest girth 30-50 cm. Base of neck 30-35 cm.

Medium: Chest girth 45-70 cm. Base of neck 30-45 cm.

Large: Chest girth 55-90 cm. Base of neck 40-50 cm.

Extra Large: Chest girth 70-105 cm. Base of neck 45-60 cm.

How do I measure my dog to work out their No-Pull Harness size?

The No-Pull Harness sizes are based on your dog's chest depth (aka girth) and the front of their chest. Measurements can be made according to the diagram below. 
The front chest strap should start and end in line with your dog's 'armpits' on either side of their body. This is where the circular joint will sit against your dog's chest.

Please contact us if you have trouble measuring your dog or require an 'in between'/smaller size.

Standard sizes available include:

Small: Front chest strap is adjustable from 25 to 29cm and the shoulder/chest strap is adjustable from 51 to 62cm

Medium: Front chest strap is adjustable from 31 to 36cm and the shoulder/chest strap is adjustable from 62 to 79cm

Large: Front chest strap is adjustable from 35 to 42cm and the shoulder/chest strap is adjustable from 68 to 87cm

Extra Large: Front chest strap is adjustable from 42 to 55cm and the shoulder/chest strap is adjustable from 75 to 105cm
