Frequently Asked Questions
What is a half check collar and how does it work?
A half check collar, also known as a martingale collar, is designed to gently tighten when your dog pulls, without choking. It offers more control than a standard collar while staying comfortable and safe.
How do I measure my dog for a half check collar?
To choose the right size, measure your dog’s neck at the smallest part, just behind the ears. This is important because a half check (martingale) collar needs to slide over the head but still fit securely when tightened.
Are half check collars safe for dogs?
Yes, when fitted correctly, half check collars are safe and comfortable. They are designed to prevent your dog from slipping out of the collar while avoiding excessive pressure on the neck.
What is the difference between a half check and a martingale collar?
There is no real difference, they are two names for the same type of collar. The main distinction is in design: our martingale collars are available in wider sizes (up to 6 cm) and are especially suited for sighthounds with long, narrow necks. We recommend martingale collars for breeds like Greyhounds, Whippets and similar dogs.
Can I personalise a half check collar with my dog’s name?
Yes, all 4Kyon half check collars can be personalised with your dog’s name and your phone number. This ensures your dog can be easily identified without the need for a separate ID tag.
