Best Dog Collars UK: Choosing the Right Collar for Your Dog

When it comes to choosing the perfect accessory for your dog, the options can feel endless — harness or collar? At Maisey Daisey Ltd, we believe both have their place, and for most dogs, using a collar and a harness together is the best combination for safety, style, and everyday convenience. Your dog’s collar isn’t just an accessory — it’s an essential part of their daily safety, comfort, and personality. Whether your pup is a strong puller, a gentle stroller, or a water-loving adventurer, finding the right fit is key. That’s why we stock a handpicked selection of premium dog collars, including Collared Creatures’ handcrafted designs in Harris Tweed and Abraham Moon fabrics, as well as durable, waterproof Biothane collars for dogs who live for muddy walks, swimming, and hydrotherapy. And if your dog loves to explore, don’t miss our stylish FatFace harnesses — lightweight, adjustable, and built for active lifestyles.

🐾 Harness vs. Collar: The Key Differences

• Harnesses are designed to take pressure off your dog’s neck and distribute weight across their chest and shoulders — perfect for strong pullers, active dogs, and puppies in training.

• Collars sit around the neck and provide a secure place for ID tags and lead attachment. They’re lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear and come in a range of styles — from classic tweeds to durable Biothane.

Even if your dog loves their harness, a collar is still the safest and most practical choice for carrying their ID tag at all times.

Why Every Dog Needs a Collar

By law in the UK, all dogs must wear a collar with an ID tag when in public. Even if you prefer a harness for walks, keeping a well-fitted collar with up-to-date identification is a must-have.

Does your dog’s name tag tend to fall off?
We have the perfect solution: personalised collars with engraved clasps or side plates that can’t be lost.
✅ Custom engraving
✅ Colour-coordinated hardware
✅ Durable and stylish designs to suit every breed and personality

Waterproof Collars for Outdoor and Active Dogs

If your dog is a muddy puddle enthusiast or loves water-based adventures like swimming and hydrotherapy, a waterproof collar is a game-changer.

• Waterproof, odour-resistant, and easy to clean

• Perfect for active breeds and double-coated dogs who need a quick-dry option

• Durable Biothane material that stays looking new, no matter the weather

Martingale and Escape-Proof Collars

Some breeds — like Whippets, Greyhounds, and other narrow-headed hounds — need a little extra security. A Martingale collar tightens gently when pulled, preventing dogs from slipping free without discomfort.

What Collar Suits Your Dog?

When selecting a collar, think about your dog’s lifestyle:
✅ Active water-lovers? Choose a waterproof Biothane collar.
✅ Escape-prone or slim-necked breeds? Consider a Martingale collar.
✅ Sensitive necks or casual wear? Soft tweed or rope collars are gentle and lightweight.
