Construction
Gozo Dog™ collars are made with flat nylon webbing on which the design material is sewn. Our designs are printed on a specialized vinyl material that is waterproof & will not tear. This material allows us to print unique designs in limited print runs. The special purpose ink will not bleed or fade under normal conditions and the collars are washable. All stress points around hardware are double reinforced with polypropylene Nylon thread. The side release hybrid buckle is a combination of metal and plastic; strong, durable and lightweight. Head designer and owner Stacy Schaffer-Helmer inspects & assembles all components and sews each Gozo Dog™ collar in her studio. We pride ourselves on attention to detail at Gozo Dog™ and understand the importance of safety and durability to each dog and its owner(s).
While Gozo Dog™ collars are handcrafted and durable, we suggest that every responsible pet owner should periodically check for signs of wear. We cannot guarantee our collars against excessive pulling, chewing, scratching and wagging. Each consumer is responsible for determining the suitability of our product for their individual situation. Consumers accept all responsibility for the use of Gozo Dog™ collars on their pets, when purchasing and utilizing Gozo Dog™ Products.
Care
We specialize in graphically enhanced designer dog collars and we construct our collars to stand the test of time. Please remember that dogs enjoy playing outdoors and may roll in dirt and other organic matter we don’t care to discuss. Therefore regular cleaning of your Gozo Dog™ collar is essential. To clean Gozo Dog™ collars, hand wash with lukewarm water and mild detergent. Lay flat until dry. You can extend the life of your Gozo Dog™ collar with regular cleaning.
Printed material may fade or slightly fray with extended wear and/or washing. Fraying may be trimmed with scissors. Frayed nylon webbing may be mended by running edges over an open flame. Stitching on all Gozo Dog™ collars is double reinforced with polypropylene Nylon thread. If Gozo Dog™ collar is defective or stitching begins to tear or unravel within six months of purchase, you may return the Gozo Dog™ collar for repair or replacement. There may be repair and/or shipping charges for excessive wear or damage. Please contact Gozo Dog™ immediately regarding a defective collar.
Please remember to check your dog’s collar frequently for proper fit, and always attach a name tag or other identification, to your dog’s collar. In the event your dog gets lost, you and your dog will appreciate the durability of a Gozo Dog™ collar and ID.
