Our Collar

Reflective collar has a 1-inch reflective tape line, it shines when light is directed at it. Reflective collars outshine against light and enable the drivers to observe the dog/cow on the road minimizing the chances of accidents at night. 

A strip of waterproof nylon webbing (a type of fabric) and a ‘fabric reflective tape’ is stitched onto the nylon webbing.  The collar has a heavy- plastic adjustor to adjust the size depending on the neck size of the dog.

The ‘Heat Reflective Tape’ consists of a layer of reflective tape, which is pasted onto the fabric through ‘Heating’. On the other hand, ‘Fabric Reflective Tape’ is a special kind of fabric itself, which reflects light.

The ‘Heat Reflective Tape’ usually gets withered away or chips off with time, and hence it costs less. The ‘Fabric Reflective Tape’ (which is stitched onto a nylon fabric), is better in surviving rough conditions such as sunlight, rainwater and rough terrains, reflective collar is premium compared to ‘Heat Reflective Tape’. CollarUp^® uses high quality ‘Fabric Reflective Tape’ on all its collars.

It depends on the personality of the dog. A dog that is very energetic or playful usually is NOT able to damage its own collar, but due to its energetic nature, it sometimes damages the collars of other friends (dogs), same with other animals like Cow and Ox.

We observed that the collars stay undamaged on animals for 1-2 years

The ‘Fabric Reflective Tape’, which is the core of the collar is waterproof. It does not get damaged in rains. The nylon webbing is not waterproof, but it is quick drying, leading to no chances of fungal infections. Overall, during extreme rains also, we have observed that the collars stay undamaged.  Moreover, the collar is skin-friendly and in no way harms the neck of the stray animals.

CollarUp uses high quality heavy plastic strap, it lasts long.

CollarUp does not recommend reflective collars for small puppies and calves, puppies below the age of 8 months, and calves less than a year are to be strictly avoided.

No, it’s not, it consists of a durable ‘Fabric Reflective Tape’ (which shines) and is stitched on a nylon webbing fabric. The ‘Fabric Reflective Tape’ will shine ONLY when light (e.g. from car’s headlights) falls on the collar. You can relate it to a shining reflective jacket worn by the traffic police.

CollarUp was founded by a team of animal lovers, so we understand the significance of animal rescue and cash crunch which volunteers and feeders face daily. We assure you that this is an effective & value for money product. We have got feedback from users on how they could spot a dog/cows/oxen due to reflective collars at night and the car drivers slowed their speed subsequently. Again, we can’t eliminate accidents – drunk driving and over speeding are rampant in metro cities, leading to accidents. But a small effort can go a long way in reducing the chances of accidents.
