Introducing our beautiful new Forest Green 100% Cotton Collars 🌲

www.fortheloveofleads.co.uk

These will go LIVE today. Each collar is 25mm wide & they will be made to measure. Remember to add your dogs neck size. They are fully adjustable and will grow with your puppy.

Hesketh Hounds?
Yes we have decided to give our collar range their very own name. Why Hesketh hounds? We live in a small village called Hesketh Bank & this is where we got the idea.

Pros of cotton collars:
Cotton collars are much more comfortable and light than traditional Nylon/Synthetic collars, they aren’t scratchy or itchy and your dog will barely notice them there.

‘’Because cotton is a natural product and because of the way it is designed and manufactured, it has many advantages, such as its ability to control moisture, provide comfort, is hypoallergenic and is a durable fabric. Cotton is biodegradable both anaerobically (without oxygen) and aerobically (with oxygen). Modern landfills are sealed and keep out water and oxygen, making them anaerobic. Cotton will degrade under these conditions’’

‘’Nylon and polyester are what typical collars are manufactured from and are made from petrochemicals, these synthetics are non-biodegradable as well, so they are inherently unsustainable on two counts. Nylon manufacture creates nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 310 times more potent than carbon dioxide’’
