The Best Collar for Dogs That Swim: Meet the Aqua Dog

Some dogs are part fish. Beach every weekend, in the pool before you've finished your coffee, first into every creek, dam and puddle on the trail. We love them for it. Their collars, not so much.

Water is brutal on standard collars. Metal hardware rusts, leaving orange stains on fur and weakening the very ring your lead clips to. Nylon holds water and starts to stink. Leather goes stiff, cracks and rots. Most swimming dogs go through collars the way power chewers go through toys.

Built for Water From the Ground Up

The Aqua Dog, part of our Get Home Safe collar range, is an ultra premium Australian made water collar designed specifically for water dogs:

• Wetsuit backing. Soft and comfortable against wet fur, made from the same idea as the gear surfers trust in the water every day.
• Marine grade stainless steel D ring. The hardware grade used on boats. It will never rust, no matter how many swims it survives.
• Personalised embroidery. Like every collar in the range, the Aqua Dog carries your dog's name and your phone number embroidered into the collar itself, so your water baby can get home safe if an off-lead beach session goes wandering. No tags to rust or fall off.

Made and Shipped From the Hunter Valley

The Aqua Dog is Australian made and shipped from the Hunter Valley NSW, part of the only custom ID collar range certified by the Australian Made campaign, and handcrafted by our team, not drop-shipped from overseas.

Complete the Water Dog Kit

Swimming dogs tend to be wet-everything dogs. The waterproof, fully sealed TuffMat! handles the post-beach flop without soaking through, and a lean, single-protein reward from our seafood and novel protein treat range finishes the recall training that keeps beach days safe.
