Why a dedicated summer collar makes sense
A summer collar needs to handle heat, moisture, and more frequent baths or swims. A washable collar prevents odor buildup and irritation. The Beast & Buckle collar is built to be comfortable on your dog's neck and easy to wash, making it ideal for warmer months.
Patterns that pop in the sun
Summer is a great time to show off your dog's style. Bright, playful patterns like the Watermelon Dog Collar or the Island Sunset Dog Collar add a seasonal touch. For a classic look that still feels fresh, the Primary Plaid Dog Collar works well. The Pizza Dog Collar is a fun conversation starter at the park.

How to choose the right summer collar: decision rules
- Measure your dog's neck: Use a soft measuring tape around the base of the neck where the collar sits. Add two fingers of space for comfort. Beast & Buckle collars offer size options, so check the size chart.
- Pick a washable material: Look for collars that are easy to clean. The Beast & Buckle collar is designed to be comfortable and easy to wash, which is a must for summer adventures.
- Choose a pattern you both love: Summer is a chance to have fun. Whether you go for the Watermelon Dog Collar, Island Sunset Dog Collar, Primary Plaid Dog Collar, or Pizza Dog Collar, pick one that makes walks more enjoyable. Consider buying two collars so one can air-dry while the other is in use.
