Dog Collars for Golden Retrievers

Why Golden Retrievers Need the Right Collar

Goldens have thick, lustrous coats and a go-anywhere zest for life. This combination means the best dog collars for golden retrievers must be durable, washable, escape-proof and (of course) stylish. They are known as the gentle giants of the dog world, and no matter how big they grow, these Velcro dogs still think they are lap-sized pups.

Some common collar problems include tangling, chafing and slipping, which can lead to escapes. Cheap collars tend to wear out or fade quickly on these social athletes, especially with their love for swimming and outdoor adventures. That’s why it is essential to choose a collar that can keep up with your retriever’s go-anywhere lifestyle.

Types of Collars Perfect for Golden Retrievers

Choosing the best dog collar for your golden happiness ambassador is a walk in the park with Mimi Green. From the best dog training collars for golden retrievers to the most fashionable colors and patterns, we offer options that tick all the boxes for safety, comfort, durability and style.

Some breed-specific options to consider include:

• Martingale collars: Excellent for training and safety, especially for Houdini dogs who are always on the lookout for stray tennis balls. The gentle limited-slip design offers better control without discomfort.
• Waterproof BioThane^® collars: Ideal for dock diving and puddle hopping, these bright waterproof collars maintain shape, are easy to clean and won’t hang onto wet-dog smell.
• Nylon webbing collars: Perfect for any adventure, these durable collars withstand over 3,100 pounds of pressure while being lightweight and super cute.

We recommend collars around 1 inch to prevent matting in a golden’s thick fur. All Mimi Green collars can be personalized with custom engraving and cute design features. We even offer a Fi-compatible GPS collar, so you can keep track of your social butterfly from your smart device.

Golden Retriever Collar Size Guide

Golden retrievers shed all year long, and worsens when heading into warmer seasons. They only develop their full, thick adult coat around their second birthday, so choosing a collar requires careful measuring and regular rechecks.

For the most comfortable fit:

• Loop a flexible measuring tape around the base of your golden’s neck.
• Use the 2-Finger Rule.
• Check monthly during their first two years and after seasonal shedding.

Choose an adjustable design to ensure longer wear and longer-term value for puppies. For proper comfort and safety, you should always be able to fit two fingers between the collar and the dog’s neck.
