The Importance of Proper Fit: What Every Dog Owner Should Know

A collar is not merely decorative—it's a critical piece of safety equipment that, when improperly fitted, can cause serious harm. Yet countless dogs wear collars that are too tight, restricting breathing and damaging delicate throat structures, or too loose, creating escape risks and entanglement hazards. The consequences range from chronic discomfort to life-threatening injuries, and awareness remains surprisingly low among even devoted pet parents.

The ideal collar should allow two fingers to slide comfortably between the material and your dog's neck—snug enough to prevent slipping, loose enough to ensure comfort and proper circulation. Premium leather, like the Nappa and full-grain hides used by Bruni Boi, offers advantages beyond aesthetics: it molds gently to your pet's unique contours over time, creating a custom fit that synthetic materials cannot replicate. The suppleness prevents chafing while maintaining structural integrity.

Equally important is regular assessment. Growing puppies need frequent adjustments; adult dogs' neck sizes can fluctuate with weight changes. A collar that fit perfectly last month may be causing silent distress today. Founded in honor of Bruno, whose comfort was paramount, Bruni Boi designs each piece with adjustability and safety in mind—brass hardware that won't corrode or fail, leather that breathes and flexes. Because proper fit isn't about constraint; it's about creating security with compassion.
