At Kissamo, we believe your dog’s gear should be as unique as their personality. That’s why we’ve moved beyond the rigid punch-holes of traditional dog collars. Our Interlace Collars are handcrafted using professional-grade performance nylon, designed to provide a truly custom, "in-between" size fit for every breed.
Whether you’re prepping for a rugged hike or a city stroll, here is everything you need to know about fitting and maintaining your Interlace gear.
How to Adjust Your Interlace Collar for the Perfect Fit
Instead of settling for a hole that is "too tight" or "too loose," you can adjust the hand-knotted rope to their precise fit and comfort.
Step-by-Step Adjustment:
Loosen the Knots: Simply loosen the knots slightly on either side of the hardware —you do not need to fully untie them.
Slide the Rope: Once the knots are slack, slide and adjust the rope so that the collar becomes tighter or looser to your desired fit.
Secure the Knots: Pull the knots snug to lock the size in place. Because our rope is fray-resistant and high-strength, it will stay secure until you’re ready to change it.
Check the Fit: Ensure you can fit two fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog’s neck.
Care Instructions: Keeping Your Gear Adventure-Ready
Our Interlace collars and leashes are built with washable nylon rope and water-resistant zinc alloy hardware.
How to Wash Your Collar:
The Quick Clean: For daily dirt, simply brush the collar when dry; the braided nylon naturally sheds most dirt.
The Deep Wash: Hand wash the collar and leash in warm water with a dash of dish soap or give it a soak with water and baking soda.
To Knot or Not: You can leave the knots tied during washing. However, if your pup had a particularly muddy adventure, unknotting the rope allows for a deeper clean of the fibers. Before washing, you can loosen the knots without fully untying them.
Drying: Wring out the collar and leash and squeeze out the excess moisture with a towel. Allow the collar to air dry. The nylon rope will typically dry within 12 hours depending on how thoroughly it was wrung out.
