ABOUT THE DOG COLLAR
Customer Reviews
Love the colour, can really feel how well made this collar is. The only problem I’ve found is that due to the split band design it’s quite hard for me to adjust the size of the collar as it doesn’t move smoothly through the buckles.
Bought the matching lead looks great and sturdy, easy to alter to size
Our Labrador loves his new turquoise blue Pukaki collar. Once he had shredded the packaging enough to get it out, he held it in his mouth, laid down on his bed and wagged his tail. The first time I went to put it on him to go for a walk, he did his very best sit and proudly strutted his stuff at the park. The colour looks great against his shiny black coat.
It’s been almost a year since we purchased our Waihi collar and I wanted to update on how impressed we are with it. Our pup is often in the sea and this collar has been washed/rinsed dozens of times. It’s still as vibrant purple as the day we first put it on her. I’ll upload a photo I’ve taken today, 11 months in. It’s so well made and so sturdy and reliable! We love it.
The collar seems to fit Ezra nicely, and he got compliments from the daycare pick up saying he looked handsome.
I didn't realize at the time of purchase that this colour doesn't have the little doodad for tags (some colours do) but we just put them on the main D-ring no prob

Why you need a dog collar
A dog collar is far from an optional extra: it’s a must-have item that has so many advantages for you and your furry friend. The biggest benefits of a reliable dog collar include:
It’s natural for your dog to want to explore his surroundings. Dog collars allow you to keep him under control even when he’s getting excited by keeping a firmer grip on his neck. They make even the largest and strongest dog breeds much easier to manage.
Collars aren’t just for big, strong dogs. They’re also perfect for the tiny (yet just as excitable) ones. In training sessions, they make for fast and straightforward communication including leash corrections and reinforcing commands.
Collars are easy to slip on and slip off, which makes them handier than harnesses when you just need to get ready and go.
A dog’s collar gives you something to attach his ID tag and your contact details too, helping the pair of you reunite more easily if he gets lost.
What to look out for
At Arctic Sammy, our dog collars are comfortable and durable, easy to put on and almost impossible to escape from. Backed with a lifetime warranty and made from ultra-strong adjustable New Zealand climbing rope, these collars are designed to accompany a range of dog breeds on their adventures.
Arctic Sammy makes high-quality, trustworthy outdoor dog products so you and your best friend can experience all the adventures that the great outdoors has to offer, from bushwalks to camping to multi-day hikes. From keeping your curious pup under control to making sure training sessions are productive and successful, dog collars are versatile, must-have items.
How to measure a dog collar
It’s important to get the size of your dog’s collar right. Too loose and he may slip out, or get it caught on something. Too tight and it may cause discomfort and injury or make it harder for your dog to breathe. The better the fit, the longer your pup can comfortably wear his collar for and the more quality time you can spend together outdoors.
For our standard collars, it’s important to keep the “two-finger” rule in mind. Use a tape measure to check the circumference of your dog’s neck and choose a collar that fits within the size range. Don’t just rely on your old collar for measurements, as both your dog’s neck and his collar can change shape over time. Make sure you can fit at least two fingers between your dog’s neck and his collar.
When it comes to our Martingale collars, it’s important to measure the head instead of the neck and the “two-finger” rule doesn’t apply. When you’ve wrapped the tape snugly around your dog’s head, there should be no extra room between his head and the measuring tape.
Dog collar colours and styles
Arctic Sammy specialises in New Zealand-made dog collars in both adjustable and Martingale styles, with a range of vibrant colours and funky patterns. Our adjustable collars, also known as “flat collars” lie across your dog’s neck and provide a secure place to attach his ID. For dogs that are prone to escaping, Martingale collars slip around your pup’s neck without choking him. These collars are perfect not only for particularly rambunctious pups but for those with narrow heads.
Take your pick from our smart blue Benmore collection, our elegant dark-coloured Mackenzie collection, our vibrant pink Ohau range and more.
