Purchase this upgrade to have brass-plated or nickel-plated hardware added to your collar. This listing is to upgrade collars that do not have the metal hardware options in it's own listing.
Choose the type of collar you ordered, paired with the width of collar and the hardware colour you would like to upgrade to and add it to your cart. All hardware pieces note in the infographic for that collar type will be upgraded to that metal hardware. Please order one upgrade per collar.
Please note the following:
- Metal buckles are plated metal alloy buckles
- Metal buckles are much heavier than plastic and add significantly more weight to the collar, especially for smaller pups and seniors.
- Metal buckles get very cold in the winter and very hot in the summer. Keep this in mind in consistent cold/hot climates and short haired pups!
- Metal buckles tend to jingle as they move around and the pieces make contact, especially after they are worn in.
- Metal buckles do not need as much pressure to unbuckle them, as plastic buckles do. On the very rare occasion, they can open on their own with just the right jostle, especially after they are worn in.
- Metal hardware may have small imperfections on them, such as tiny nicks or scratches. All metal buckles are treated with a metal polish to ward off any tarnish.
- Metal buckles are very stylish, but don't choose style over your pup's comfort!
Metal Hardware Upgrade for Dog Collars, Buckle Collars & Martingales
- This listing is to add brass-plated or nickel-plated hardware to one dog collar, either buckle style or martingale. Just add this listing along with your collar to your cart. Not available for cat collars.
- When metal hardware is added to a collar, especially buckles, it is advised to hand wash or place in a mesh bag to protect your washer. Always air dry only.
