What are beaded pet collars?
Inspired by friendship bracelets, these bubblegum bead collars are made to be durable. They are strung with aircraft cable and double crimped. They come in a variety of colors and closures, and can be personalized with your pet’s name or a phrase.
Who makes the collars?
Us! We are a mother/daughter duo, we hand string and design all collars in our home workshop. We even make the Biothane closures, thanks to the handy work of Frank (husband/father)!
Can these be worn all day long?
Ultimutt Bestie collars are made to be durable and comfortable. It may be best to remove collars when playing, crated, or unsupervised which is a similar for flat collars (fabric, leather, etc.). Please measure your pet according to our Size Guide, for a proper fit.
Are they comfortable for pets to wear?
All collars are tightly strung to avoid snagging your pet’s hair. Please measure your pet according to our Size Guide, to avoid a tight fit. Round beads glide easily on your pets neck which provides a soothing massage.
Are they durable?
Medium/Large Collars are made with 480lb coated aircraft grade cable and have been assembly tested to withstand a force of over 325lbs with O-ring. *Note: Dogs that hard pullers are capable of pulling 3-4x their weight.
Do they start to smell?
Ultimutt Bestie collars are made with waterproof materials which makes them easy to clean with mild soap and water.
What is BioThane?
BioThane is a Vegan leather alternative. It is waterproof, durable, stink-proof, and easy to clean!
Can I walk my pet in these collars?
Yes, depending on the closure style you choose. The martingale, BioThane side-release, and adjustable collars are good options for walking collars. The slip-on style is strong, but due to the slip-on nature of the collar, we don’t suggest using it as a walking collar since your dog could slip out. As with all collars, if your dog is a puller we recommend using a harness. For more information on the collar styles we offer, view the Product Info page.
My pet is long-haired, can they wear these?
These collars are tightly strung, so hair shouldn’t get tangled in the collar. We have had several longer-haired dogs sporting our collars, they typically opt for sizing up and/or the buckle closure. That being said, these collars are best-suited for short-haired dogs.
Can I put tags on these collars?
Absolutely! Tags can go right on the O-ring. Buckles with Biothane and adjustable collars have D-rings for tags and/or a leash. The 2 side rings on the martingale are perfect for tags. The side-release buckle without biothane is the only collar that does not have a designated ring for tags.
