Plaid & Print Dog Collars

Gingham, houndstooth, buffalo check, tartan, chevron, dots and the classic red bandana print: the collars that go with everything. Most are Up Country, nylon webbing with a colorfast ribbon overlay and rust-resistant buckles at $24.99, in XS through Large by neck size and a martingale option on a few patterns. The rest are Foggy Dog, whose plaid and gingham collars are cut from the same fabric as their bandanas and bow ties, with solid brass hardware, at $35.

If you want a matched set, this is the collection to start from. The Foggy Dog ginghams have a bow tie and a bandana in the same print, and the Up Country plaids have leashes. Lime, navy, pink, red and turquoise gingham are all here, so a household with three dogs can keep them straight.

Measure the neck before you order; our guide explains the two-finger rule and how much to add. If your dog slips collars, read martingale vs. buckle vs. quick-release before choosing a pattern.
