Summer’s almost here—and with it comes longer walks, more outdoor play, and road trips with your Doberman! But before your pup bolts into the sunshine, it’s time for a quick gear check. A worn-out collar, leash, or ID tag isn’t just unsightly—it can be a safety risk for a powerful, active dog like the Dobie.
Here are 5 signs it’s time to swap out that old setup—and why our personalized gear is the perfect upgrade for summer.
1. Fraying or Torn Collar Edges
Collars take a beating, especially on high-energy breeds like Dobermans. If you notice fraying, stretched holes, or thin spots around the edges, it’s time to replace it. A compromised collar can rub uncomfortably—or worse, snap mid-walk.
Upgrade to safety and style:
Our personalized TPU collars are built Doberman-tough:
- Odor-proof & stain-resistant
- Hypoallergenic & skin-friendly
- Waterproof & easy to clean
Each one is engraved with your dog’s name, combining durability with a polished, custom look.
2. Scratched, Faded, or Illegible ID Tags
A scratched-up tag with faded text does no one any good if your dog gets lost. If you can’t read it easily, neither can a Good Samaritan.
Our tags? Made to make people smile—and act fast.
These coated solid metal ID tags feature:
A custom name design on the front A humorous “I’m lost” message on the back (”Shit I’m lost! Have your people call my people”) Protected finish for scratch resistance and longevity Sturdy metal clip for easy collar attachment
Fun, functional, and built to last all summer long.
3. Funky Odors or Stains That Won’t Wash Out
If your dog’s gear smells like last week’s hike—even after washing—it’s probably beyond saving. Nylon collars and cloth tags absorb moisture and grime, turning them into stink magnets.
Our solution:
TPU collars don’t hold onto smells or stains. Just rinse, wipe, and go. Perfect for messy pups, rainy walks, and all your summer splash zones.
4. Neck Irritation or Bald Spots
Does your Doberman scratch at their collar or have bald patches forming? Some materials trap bacteria or chafe your dog’s skin—especially during hot, humid months.
Go hypoallergenic:
Our TPU collars are smooth, non-porous, and gentle on sensitive skin. They won’t absorb sweat or debris, reducing irritation during long wear.
5. A Worn or Weak Leash
Check your leash: if it’s cracking, fraying, or feels brittle, it’s a walking hazard. Especially with Dobermans, a leash should feel strong, secure, and comfortable in your hand.
Need a refresh?
Our new leash and collar sets offer reliable strength, a sleek look, and peace of mind. While the leash material isn’t TPU, it’s selected for durability and matches perfectly with our personalized collars.
