Our Martingale Limited Slip Collar Guide

Martingale collars were designed with pet safety in mind. Often called whippet martingale collars, they are ideal for dogs that have a small head and larger neck, like greyhounds, wolfhounds, Italian greyhounds, and of course, whippets. This is because traditional collars can easily slip off this type of dog with a simple pull due to their small head size. Traditional choke collars also have the potential of hurting a dog that pulls, placing most of the tension on the front part of the neck. This, unfortunately, makes the experience of simple outings for walking painful and uncomfortable for your pet. The way the martingale collar tightens is gentler and kinder, protecting your four-legged companion from irritation on the skin, balding from continued chafing, and even choking leading to asphyxiation. It also makes the experience smoother for you as a pet parent as you have the added security that your new puppy or otherwise high-spirited pet will not be able to slip out of the collar and escape. This type of collar comes in a few different forms; most are made of nylon webbing to ensure long-term wear, some are made of polyester, another hard-wearing option, and some come in a hybrid style with a nylon or polyester collar and a chain for the second loop that marks this specific style.
