The Different Types of Dog Collars at Evergreen Dog Co

There's a lot of dog collars out there. 

Different types, different styles. 

Confusing? Sure, it can be. Some dog owners are very strategic in their choice while others may simply make a purchase based solely on price. 

At Evergreen Dog Co alone, we've got plenty of choices. However, they are all based on one particular foundation ... made with BioThane® material. 

BioThane is the brand name of all coated webbing products made by BioThane Coated Webbing Corp. It's basically a polyester webbing with a TPU or PVC coating that makes it more durable, waterproof and easy to clean. 

(Check out our past blog post on the benefits of BioThane at Evergreen Dog Co, here.)

But the advantages of BioThane material are only half the journey at Evergreen Dog Co. The other half has to do with multiple styles to choose from, each with modifications to help make your pup's experience as customized and beneficial as possible. 

Take a look below at four Evergreen Dog Co collar styles and what makes each just one a little different:
