About our products

The Artful Canine began with an idea and a dog. From there, it was a matter of how to create durable, comfortable, practical, affordable, unique and fashionable dog products for the everyday dog owner and their best friend.

All Artful Canine products are handcrafted here in the USA. Every one of our dog collars, martingale collars, charming collars, coordinating dog leashes and step-in harnesses are hand sewn by us. Unlike a purchase from a "big box" pet retailer, many of our dog collars are original Artful Canine designs. So if you are looking for unique dog collars for your dog, you will enjoy shopping with us!

Fabrics used for our dog collars and dog leashes are chosen for their color, comfort, and durability. Nylon is our top choice as a backing because it molds nicely to a dogs neck without chaffing, unlike faux leather. As a manmade fiber, it is durable, colorfast, and designed to last a long time. Our Dog Collar fabrics are washable and scotchguarded to help maintain a fresh finish. And because our products are so affordable, we expect folks to buy more than one of any given item to keep their dog looking fashion-forward at all times!

We choose to add our bling where it won’t bother your dog, nor get in the way of the everyday stuff you need your dog collar to do. For example, with our Charming Collection Dog Collars, our exclusive Charm FOB™ keeps the D-ring free for it’s intended purpose – for attaching a leash or runner to it. That way the charm or tag sits nicely on the side of your dogs neck, vs. being scratched and scuffed up by the friction of a leash or runner.

Our dog collar buckles are a quick release design made of the highest quality, and contoured for a better fit on your dog. We are currently making martingale and metal buckle dog collars for those that prefer the look of metal over plastic.

Our products are "Max and Tilde" tested. Although Max and Tilde aren’t the biggest or baddest of dog breeds (well, the baddest part is debatable), they act and play like most dogs. We put all our products through “real dog” life before they go on sale. We are groomers, and have a huge pool of doggies to test our products before we sell them to you. As a result, all of our wearable products come with a 1 Year Guarantee. We think they’ll last even longer with the proper care, so be sure to follow our care instructions!

1Year Guarantee or We'll Replace it for Free!*

We’ve tested our collar & leash products with puppies, small dogs, and big dogs for everyday use, outdoors and indoors. We also run each new collar design through several washes to ensure that our fabrics hold up to everyday wash and wear. With exception to fabric wear* we expect our dog collars to last a year. If you find that this does not hold true, we welcome you to return your purchase and we’ll replace your dog’s collar for free!*

* Guarantee does not apply to charms, or wear and tear associated with scratching, biting, and rubbing of decorative fabric that may result in premature wear to fabric’s finish. Collars that are not washed using recommended care instructions are not eligible for replacement guarantee. Replacement collars will be of the same style/size originally purchased.
