What are Tobey & Oliver collars made of?

Premium vegan leather with 18K gold PVD over stainless steel hardware, the same PVD process used on fine watch cases.

Will the gold-tone hardware tarnish?

No. 18K gold PVD is bonded, not plated. With basic care it resists tarnish, chipping, and daily wear for years.

Can I put the collar in the washing machine?

No. Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Never submerge or machine wash.

Are the charms interchangeable?

Yes. Every charm uses the same jeweler's clasp and fits any Tobey & Oliver collar or harness.

How do I size my dog?

Measure the base of the neck with a soft tape and add half an inch. Full breed-by-breed guidance is in our small-breed sizing guide.

Do you offer wholesale or press?

Yes, email shop@tobeyoliver.com with your shop or outlet and we'll be in touch.

The questions we get most, answered in one place. If yours isn't here, email shop@tobeyoliver.com and we'll answer within a business day.

Materials & hardware

Our collars and harnesses use premium vegan leather with 18K gold PVD over stainless steel hardware. PVD is the same finishing process used on luxury watch cases. Bonded rather than plated, so it resists tarnish and chipping. Full care routine in our hardware care guide.

Sizing

Measure the base of the neck (where the collar naturally sits) with a soft tape and add half an inch. For small breeds and dachshunds, our small-breed sizing guide walks through the fit nuances that generic 'XS' collars miss.

Charms

Every charm uses the same jeweler's clasp, so pieces like the Bone charm and Luna charm swap between any collar or harness in seconds. Cycle them so no single piece takes every walk.

Care

Wipe leather with a damp cloth and mild soap; air dry. Wipe hardware dry after wet walks. Never machine wash, never soak, never use ammonia-based cleaners on the metal.
