About Our Products
All Artful Canine brand products are made in the US by The Artful Canine. We sell direct to consumer exclusively, which means you get a fantastic value over typical pet boutique dog collars. Since we do not sell our products wholesale, we pass the savings on to you - up to 50% on comparable pet boutique collar prices. But the value of an Artful Canine collar doesn't stop at the price!
Materials
Based on our goal of providing comfortable dog collars that are long-lasting and easy to care for, we use a nylon webbing as a base for our collars, and then sew a good quality jacquard or polyester fabric over the webbing for added durability. We select our fabrics based on strength and colorfastness. For example, we do not use grosgrain ribbon, as many other collar crafters do, because this material fades quickly with time.
For our larger collars, we use strong hardware to ensure that your dog will stay safe when on leash. On all collars, we use nylon buckles - the strongest material you can get when it comes to plastics.
Construction
Unlike our competitors, we top-stitch our fabrics together using a 46 weight nylon thread and a tighter stitch. When we assemble our products, we use double, sometimes triple tacking techniques to ensure that our products will not come apart, aiding you in keeping your dog safe when on leash.
1-year Limited Guarantee
We back the quality of our collars up with a 1-year guarantee (see link for details). While we can't ensure that your dog won't scratch or chew the fabric, we can make sure that your dog walking gear will last when properly cared for.
