Excerpt:
Hemp collars. Can I tell you how just this one thing has changed my life! As we all know, labs are water dogs. Normally with their old collars, they would swim all day, be outside in the heat and in 2 days of wearing those things the smell was unbearable! We were constantly washing the collars and the collars smelt worse than my husband’s socks do after he plays soccer in 100 degree heat (disgusting, yes i know). We started to carry hemp collars at our store and I was sooooo excited to test them out! Now, they play and swim all day and I barely have to wash them. They like everything get a little stinky over time but absolutely nothing in comparison and they come right out after the wash. #4 in painting your dog green….. anti-bacterial collars!! Hemp is great but bamboo is also a great material (if they make bamboo collars…;). Both are anti-bacterial and anti-microbial and perfect as dog collars!
