The Details of the Up Country Gordon Plaid Collar & Leash

This 1.5" Collar is specifically designed for large dogs or dogs with long necks, and is the perfect solution for dogs that easily slip out of their collars.

This is an adjustable martingale and has no buckle that could fail. I adjusted it so the tightest setting is still not choking Zulu, but it is tight enough so that her head cannot slip through if she tries to back out from it.

Made from high-tensile strength nylon webbing with sewn on polyester and nylon ribbons, this collar is both stain and fray resistant. It’s also machine washable, so you can easily keep it clean. The all-brass hardware is cast, not welded, for extra strength and durability. Best of all, it’s made in the USA.

Up Country Gordon Plaid Set Review

Over the last few months, this was our go-to set, so it went through a lot of use and still looks new.

I liked that the “Gordon Plaid” pattern is somewhat holiday themed with its colors and gold accents while it’s not overwhelmingly Christmassy, which would make it only wearable for two months of the year.

For now, Zulu has a small head and a long neck, so she can slip her head out of most collars, which was a scary experience. It gives me peace of mind that she cannot do that with this collar. When there is no leash pressure, the collar sits loose and low, much more comfortable than a tightly adjusted flat collar. Her long neck and neck fluff also make most collars disappear while this 1.5" collar is actually visible.

A cool thing about the Up Country products is that you can combine a matching set of a harness, leash, collar, and even a key ring and choose their sizing separately. I loved matching a wide collar with a thin leash, but you can mix and match them as you prefer.

Their focus is on pulling harnesses and other types of equipment for skijoring, canicross, etc., but they also have a few harnesses more suited for everyday dog walks or hikes - like the Rock Harness Long that we are just reviewing ;)

Dog Cooling Mats Dogs naturally look for a cooler surface to lay on when it’s hot, so providing a cooling mat is a great way to help them stay cool over the summer. Many cooling beds use some type of gel, which is great material unless the dog happens to be a chewer. For this reason, most of the new gel cooling mats use a non-toxic gel, but not all so make sure to double-check this before buying.
