Ergonomic & Durable Wide Dog Collars by Collar of Sweden
Our wide dog collars are carefully designed to combine functionality and fashion. The extended width helps distribute pressure evenly across the neck, protecting your dog’s windpipe and muscles — perfect for breeds with long, slender necks or dogs that pull on the leash.
Crafted from premium leather or vegan leather, each collar delivers everyday comfort, durability, and a timeless Scandinavian look.
The Benefits of a Wide Dog Collar
Comfort and Neck Protection
A wide collar offers enhanced support for your dog’s neck, preventing injuries and reducing strain during walks. It’s ideal for active breeds or dogs with sensitive tracheas, such as Whippets, Greyhounds, or larger retrievers.
Better Control for Stronger Dogs
The broader surface area helps you maintain gentle control without causing discomfort — a reason why many trainers and vets recommend wide dog collars for larger or more energetic dogs.
Perfect Fit for Medium & Large Breeds
From medium dogs like Border Collies to large breeds such as Labradors and Dobermans, wide collars provide the stability and balance these dogs need.
For smaller breeds, a Thin Collar may offer a lighter, more comfortable fit.
Material & Width Options
Choose from wide leather dog collars for a premium, durable feel, or vegan leather collars for a sustainable, easy-care alternative.
Popular widths include:
1.5-inch wide collars – versatile and comfortable for medium-sized dogs
2-inch wide collars – ideal for large breeds needing extra support
3-inch wide collars – designed for sighthounds or dogs with long necks
All collars are soft, strong, and built to last — giving your dog style that stands out while staying safe and comfortable.
How to Find the Perfect Fit
Measure around the widest part of your dog’s neck and ensure you can fit two fingers under the collar for comfort.
