Christmas/Holiday is live!!

***All orders must be received by December 14th to be delivered by Christmas!***

I am now offering a "one time per customer" exchange program! If you bought the wrong size, I am happy to send you a new collar as long as the old one is sent back in new condition first. You are responsible for shipping and handling both ways. This is one time per customer because every collar is handmade just for you, so in that vein, please check the sizing chart in the listing before buying!! You must contact me within 7 days of receiving your order and ship it back within 14 days of receiving your order!

Collars are true to size, if you aren't sure that a thicker width will look good on your dog I recommend cutting some paper in the width and laying that around your dogs neck to visualize the size.

Welcome to AdventureBear! I have been in business since 2018! I have made to order fashionable dog collars located in the Pacific Northwest! Feel free to contact me with questions and special requests.

If you are not sure what size to order please contact me- I want to make sure your dog will be comfortable and happy with their new collar!

Please note that not all patterns are available in all sizes. This is due to either availability of fabric, or because the pattern is too large for a smaller collar and won't show up well! See sizing chart on listings for more details about sizes and widths.

Fashionable collars for the AdventureBear in your dog!

Hello and welcome to Adventure Bear Collars! If you are reading this, you probably want to know a little about me! I live in the Pacific Northwest with my husband and our three animals. We have a cat named Ally, and two dogs, Pandora and Kiki. Pandora was my first dog, and she’s the face behind the business! Kiki is a little terrier mix who always keeps me on my toes.

If you want to know one thing about me it’s that I freaking love dogs. I’ve worked with dogs professionally for the last 9 years, I’ve been to many conferences about positive dog training. I volunteer at a local shelter walking dogs, and I own two rescue dogs. Like I said, I freaking love dogs, and I am very passionate about them!

I love to sew, and making collars and other things for dogs (and cats!) has quickly become a passion of mine. Thank you for supporting my small business!

Frequently asked questions
Care and use instructions

Like anything handmade machine washing should be avoided for the longest life of the collar. For longest life I recommend hand-washing all collars in cold water and laying flat to dry. Machine wash as needed in cold water on the gentle cycle in a garment bag. Machine washing will drastically reduce wear life and color! Swap collars out frequently!

Not recommended for dogs that pull or heavy duty purposes! I recommend removing collars before dirty activities for longest life of these collars. These are not quick release so do not leave on unattended. Customer assumes all risk and liability. Do not use as a tie out, this can damage your dogs neck. Please check collar for signs of wear before use.

Do you offer replacements?

If I sent you the wrong product or it's defective-absolutely! I product test all materials before I am comfortable listing them in my shop. I'll need a picture of the defective product and I'll do my best to replace it! If I no longer offer the same pattern I'll try and choose one that is close to what you originally ordered. If the package got lost in the mail I encourage you to wait a few days to see if it shows up. If it doesn't you can contact your local post office and see if they can find it. It's obviously not a fun situation for both of us if something gets lost.

Due to everything being handmade just for you I am unable to offer exchanges or refunds, however please contact me with any problems.

How are your collars made?

I try and find unique fabric that is fun and fresh! All pressure seams are reinforced with my industrial sewing machine for longevity. I use welded D-rings for strength.

Collar Sizing

The sizes of my collars are in the listings. Please double check before you buy that you are ordering the correct size! I recommend measuring your dogs neck or a current dog collar that fits from end to end if you do not have a tape measure.

Will my collar look just like the one in the listing?

Everything is handmade for you! This means that it may not look exactly like the listing picture. I certainly do my best- but please understand that this is not always possible. I do not offer refunds or exchanges for this.

How do I adjust my collar?

The buckles and Triglides I use are designed to "lock in" the collar once adjusted. This means that it won't easily slip out of place once fit. To adjust it I recommend taking it one piece at a time. Adjust them by first manually feeding one side through the triglide or buckle then out the other side until your proper fit is acheved! You should only need to do this once :)

Do you do Wholesale?

Thank you for your interest, but I do not offer Wholesale at this time.

What if I gave you the wrong address?

If you contact me before you get the shipping email, I can change the address on my end manually! The sooner you tell me, the better! Once it is shipped there is very little I can do, but I will do my best to help you!

Do you take requests for fabric patterns?

I'm always on the hunt for fun new fabric to add to my shop. Unfortunately it's not possible to fill every request because of the limitations of pattern size, placement and availability. You can always let me know about a pattern you are interested in and I'll keep it in mind, but I cannot promise that I am able to fulfill every request.

What width should I buy?

Here are some common breeds of dogs that may look good in different widths of collars!

3/8th inch: Teeny dogs with teeny necks and Cats

3/4 inch: Small breed dogs and other dogs who weigh under 20/25 pounds or so.

1 inch: Almost any dog can look good in this size of collar! Smaller dogs may want to size down to the 3/4 inch, and larger dogs may want to go up to the 1.5 or 2 inch.

1.5 inch: For the medium and larger breeds who want a slightly thicker collar than normal to show off more of the pattern! These larger sized width collars may be too heavy for smaller breeds due to the size of the hardware

2 inch: Good for large breed dogs.

You can cut a strip of paper in the width desired to help visualize how it will look!
