How to Care for Your Leather Dog Collars, Leashes, & Accessories

Leather is simply skin. Just like your own skin, it ages. As leather is exposed to the elements, it can get thirsty so to speak. Proper care ensures your leather dog accessories stay in excellent condition for years to come. To care for your leather:

  • Clean Regularly: Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
  • Condition the Leather: Use a leather conditioner at least once a year to maintain softness and prevent cracking.
