Including Your Dog in Christmas with a Festive Collar

For many of us, buying our dog a Christmas present is as much a part of December as choosing gifts for the rest of the family. We enjoy picking something for them, and seeing them wear a Christmas collar is a small part of what makes the season feel special.

A festive collar lets you include your dog when everyone gets dressed up on Christmas Day, and you can enjoy it on your walks throughout December too. There’s no need to save it until the presents are under the tree.

Our Christmas dog collars are handmade in leather, with printed designs and Swarovski crystal styles to choose from. The collection includes collars shaped especially for sighthounds, so there are options for different dogs as well as different tastes.

A Christmas collar for the family photographs

If your dog is always in the family photographs, it’s lovely to choose something festive for them to wear alongside everyone else. A traditional Christmas print works particularly well if you love red and green decorations and want your dog’s collar to have that same feel.

Our Merry Little Christmas Dog Collar has decorated trees and red stockings printed on white Italian leather, with shamrock green lining and stitching. If you hang up a stocking for your dog, this would make a lovely present to put inside it, although you might find yourself wanting to give it to them early.

It comes in ten neck sizes. The smaller sizes have printed leather along the full length with a green keeper, while sizes 15″–18″ and upwards have a printed body with brown Italian leather ends and a matching brown keeper.

A little Christmas on the daily walk

A Christmas collar can become part of your December routine from the moment you bring it home. You get to enjoy seeing your dog wear it every day, whether you’re meeting friends for a walk or taking your usual route around the village.

If robins are one of your favourite things about winter, our Winter Robin Print Leather Dog Collar is a lovely choice. Little red-breasted birds sit among berry branches on white Italian leather, with ruby lining and red stitching picking up the colour. It’s a winter design you can carry on enjoying after Christmas.

The collar is handmade with a vegetable-tanned leather core wrapped in Italian leather, with stainless steel fittings. As with Merry Little Christmas, sizes 15″–18″ and upwards have brown leather ends.

Choosing the colours for a Christmas crystal collar

Choosing the colours is part of the pleasure of buying a crystal collar. You might like red and green for Christmas, or prefer a combination that suits your dog’s coat and that you’ll want them to wear well into the new year.

Our Snowflake Flurry Swarovski Collar has alternating snowflake studs and hand-set Swarovski crystals. There are 28 leather colours and ten crystal colours to choose from, so you can decide how you’d like your dog’s collar to look.

It’s lined in Italian leather and available in ten neck sizes. The snowflakes give it a wintry feel in whichever colours you choose, making it a good option if you want a Christmas present that you’ll keep using through the colder months.

Christmas collars for the hounds in the family

The Christmas collection also includes fishtail collars for sighthounds. Their wider bodies give the printed designs room to show, with narrower ends towards the buckle.

Our Rockin’ Robin Winter Sighthound Collar has the same little robins and berry branches, with red Italian leather lining and a matching keeper. It comes in eight neck-size options across Italian Greyhound, Whippet and Greyhound widths.

If you have a sighthound and another dog at home, Rockin’ Robin and Winter Robin let you choose a matching print in a different collar shape for each of them.

A hand with choosing the right size

If you’re unsure which size to choose, our size guides explain where to measure for each collar style. Sighthound collars use a different measuring point from our straight collars, and the sizing tab on each product page has the relevant guide. You’re very welcome to get in touch with your measurements if you’d like a hand choosing.

If you’re buying a collar for someone else’s dog, asking their owner for a measurement will help you choose the right size. You can still keep the design a surprise.

Whether you’re choosing your dog’s first Christmas collar or treating them to a new one this year, have a look through our Christmas collection. Pick a design you’ll enjoy seeing them wear, and they can be dressed for Christmas long before the rest of us have decided what to put on.
