If you are looking for a new collar for your dog, it may be difficult to choose from the many options. From classic flat collars to slip leads, each collar offers unique advantages. The martingale in particular is a gentle option that can help train your dog to walk better on a leash. Learn more about how to use a martingale collar, the benefits of a martingale, and how to find the correct one for your dog.
Choosing the right type of collar for your dog can be a tough decision with so many options to choose from. How can you tell what’s best for your precious pupperino? That’s where our team at Mimi Green comes in. As a company that designs and handcrafts all types of collars and dog accessories, we know a thing or two about dog collars.
Among the many types and varieties of collars, the two most popular are nylon dog collars and leather dog collars. But is one better than the other? There might be more to this question than you might think! There are a few things to consider when choosing collars.
If you’re a dog owner, it’s important to know how to clean a dog collar properly. And if your dog is like any normal dog, it probably likes to roll around in the grass or splash around in puddles.
You wash your dog whenever it has a little too much fun at the beach or park. Why not wash its collar too? Knowing your fluffy best friend has a clean dog collar will put your mind at ease. Not to mention, if your dog enjoys napping on the living room couch with a dirty collar, chances are that couch is going to get dirty too.

Dog collars are an important part of keeping your dog safe. Not only do they provide crucial identification information if your dog runs away, but, when properly fit, collars also help keep your dog secure on its leash during walks. However, collars are only able to keep your dog safe if they fit correctly on your dog’s neck. Therefore, it is important that you invest in a collar that fits your pup properly. You want to make sure the collar is not too loose, where the dog can wriggle their way out, and not too tight, where your dog has the potential to get injured.
Who doesn’t love a new dog collar? We sure do, and we know there are endless choices to choose from. From adorable leather dog collars to floral canvas dog collars, it’s no easy decision to choose a new collar for your dog.
At Mimi Green, we’ve seen our fair share of collars and are more than happy to share our favorites with you. We’ve rounded up our absolute favorite collars, and the list is pretty long. Here is our breakdown of our favorite 33+ cute dog collars.
In response to COVID-19, we have altered our task flow at our production studio to protect our employees and community.
Rest assured, we are working hard to complete orders for all your furry friends, but orders may take 7-20 business days during this time.
Thank you! We appreciate all our loyal customers.

Walking your dog is one of the most rewarding parts of being a dog owner. Not only do you get to spend quality time with your four-legged friend, you also provide them with the opportunity to get the exercise they need. Daily exercise is essential for dogs as it helps maintain their health and wellbeing.
Everything from their heart health to their lung health will be boosted with a simple walk. Given how important it is, it’s vital to have all of the essential items to make your walk as easy and beneficial for your dog (and you!) as possible. Here are 4 essential items you shouldn’t leave the house without.
Collar
One item you definitely shouldn’t leave for a walk without is a high-quality and comfortable dog collar. As you’ll quickly come to see when you’re on the hunt for one, collars come in all kinds of designs. This means that with a bit of careful consideration, you’ll be able to find one that perfectly suits and fits your dog. First, think about the type of material you would like the collar to be made out of. Canvas, leather, linen, and nylon webbing dog collars are equally great options, so you certainly won’t need to worry about a lack of choice!
Alternatively, you can first filter by the type of collar.Martingale, waterproof, or service dog collars are a few popular types. Then it’s time to decide whether you want the dog collar to be personalized in some way. One of the handiest personalizations you can make is to get the collar laser engraved with key details about your dog, such as their name, as well as your address and phone number.
Leash
Another essential item you will need for dog walks is a reliable leash. Leashes will not only ensure your dog is within your reach and line of vision, but also allow you to make a stylish statement. Likewise to collars, there are a wide variety to choose from. From nylon webbing to leather to velvet, you’ll be able to pick one that suits both your needs and personality.
If you’re looking to really make a splash at the dog park, you may wish to opt for a custom printed leash. Yes, your dog could be rocking a leash that has absolutely any text you wish to feature. Whether you want to include a fun message (such as “I Have the Best Dog Mom Ever!”) or emblazon their name and your phone number is up to you.
Travel Bowl
When you’re out and about exploring your surroundings with your dog, it’s important to ensure they stay hydrated. Many dog owners simply wait until they return home to give their dog water, believing that not much harm will be caused if their dog has to wait a bit to get their h20 dose. The thing is, dehydration can be dangerous for dogs.
The reason many dog owners don’t give their dogs water while on a walk is because of the hassle involved. We get it—it can be awkward to carry a bulky and heavy bowl and perhaps even some water if a convenient water supply isn’t available on the way. That’s why travel dog bowls are so handy. Travel dog bowls are designed to be as convenient and lightweight as possible, making the task of keeping your dog hydrated a breeze. As an added bonus, you can also use one any time you go away on vacation with your pooch.
Dog Bag
Do you find yourself constantly scrambling to find all of the items you need for your dog walks? It’s high time you started using a dog bag. While you can buy a bag especially for the purpose of carrying items for your dog, you can also use a backpack or any other type of bag with lots of pockets.
Storing your dog’s leash and travel bowl in your dog bag will ensure they will no longer “magically disappear” just when you need them. You can also pop in any other items you’d like to bring along on your walk. For example, you may wish to place dog items such as snacks and a first aid kit inside, as well as your own personal items such as your keys and wallet.

For dog lovers, our pups play such a big part in our lives and our families that they also tend to play a role in our romantic relationships. This month we reached out to our followers and asked them to tell us their stories of how their dogs had played a role in their relationships and to share their Valentine’s Day dog stories. We received such great responses.
For those of us that are single – our dogs can be the biggest loves of our lives. For those of us whose significant others are far away – they keep us company through the hardest nights. For those of us that are married – they help us feel like a whole family. For those that are dating – they can help us figure out who passes the test.
In the spirit of Valentine’s day, we’re sharing one of our favorite Valentine’s day dog stories from one of our customers whose dog helped her do just that.
Liz & Chris’s Valentine’s Day Dog Story
“I’d call this love at first sight, but as many of you know, Frank is mostly blind. Chris has a special relationship with each of my dogs, but this relationship has to be my absolute favorite. For Chris, this was love at first sight. But for Frank, this wasn’t love at first sniff, or even love at 7th sniff 😆. Frank was my first rescue dog and was definitely love at first sight for me too.
I literally think he’s an angel sent down from heaven, I don’t know what I did to deserve such a precious, sweet dog. When Chris and I started dating almost 5 years ago, I was super protective of my dogs and who they met, you’d think they were my own flesh and blood . Frank bonded super strong with me, but had a hard time bonding with anyone else, even Chris.
One of the many reasons I love Chris, he’s very persistent and doesn’t give up. After years of snuggles and thousands of treats, they’ve grown the cutest bond. Frank spends 80% of his time snuggled in Chris’s armpit, the other 20% he’s eating (FOOD IS LIFE). They truly adore each other, and it’s very apparent in the photos I periodically snatch. Forever in love with these two.♥️💗💋🐾
Chris’s names for Frank:
- Foo
- Foo-y
- Deaf Boy
- Deaf Seal
- Deaf Pig
- Dough Boy
Chris’s favorite activities with Frank:
- Sleeping
- Snuggling
- Snacking
- More Sleeping
- Snuggling
Chris and Frank’s favorite snacks to share:
- Tacos
- Cereal
- Bacon
Love,
Liz Eby (Frank’s momma)
