Multicolour Biothane Collar Guide: Turquoise, Olive or Magenta?

Start with the neck measurement, not the colour

Every collar in this range is a dual colour waterproof collar made from Biothane, a PVC/TPU coated webbing that wipes clean and resists stretching. The colour is the fun part; the fit is the part that decides whether your dog wears it comfortably. Measure your dog's neck and compare it with the size ranges below before you fall for a colourway.

The range covers three neck sizes: 11-13" (28-33cm), 12-15" (31-38cm) and 14-17" (36-43cm). Width choices depend on size: the smallest size comes only in 20mm, while the two larger sizes are available in 20mm or 25mm. All four collars use a traditional metal buckle fastening and include free personalised engraving with a colour-matched nameplate.

The four colourways at a glance

Each collar pairs two colours, so the overall look depends on both. Here is how they differ on the details that affect your choice.

• Olive & Beige: Warm neutral green with beige. The most understated option, and the only one in this group that lists up to 3 lines of engraving on 20mm and 25mm widths and 2 lines on 15mm. Available in 11-13", 12-15" and 14-17" neck sizes, in 20mm or 25mm width, with Silver, Antique Brass or Brass hardware.
• Magenta & Teal: Bold magenta paired with cool teal. A high-contrast choice for dogs who should stand out. Available in the same three neck sizes and both widths, with Silver, Antique Brass or Brass hardware. Engraving allows up to 3 lines on 20mm and 25mm widths.
• Turquoise & Fuchsia: Vibrant turquoise with striking fuchsia. Another vivid option, with the same size and hardware choices. Engraving allows up to 3 lines on 20mm and 25mm widths.
• Mauve & Pastel Pink: Soft mauve with pastel pink. The gentlest palette here. Same size and hardware range, and the same engraving allowance: up to 3 lines on 20mm and 25mm widths, 2 lines on 15mm.

How coat colour changes the decision

A dual colour collar reads differently against different coats. Olive and beige tends to blend with warm brown, fawn and cream coats, which keeps the look quiet. Magenta and teal, turquoise and fuchsia, and mauve and pastel pink all create more contrast, so they show up clearly on dark or monochrome coats.

If your dog has a patterned or multi-coloured coat, a two-tone collar can either echo the pattern or fight it. There is no rule that works for every dog; the practical approach is to hold the collar against your dog's neck in daylight before committing. The engraved nameplate is colour-matched to the hardware, so your hardware choice also affects how the personalisation looks.

Olive & Beige: the understated option

• Olive & Beige Multicolour Waterproof Biothane Buckle Dog Collar: Handmade in Yorkshire from Biothane with a traditional metal buckle fastening; waterproof and stink-proof, so mud, rain and river water rinse straight off. A practical choice if your dog swims or walks in wet weather and you want a collar that does not hold odour.

  

• Olive & Beige Multicolour Waterproof Biothane Buckle Dog Collar: Available in 11-13" (28-33cm), 12-15" (31-38cm) and 14-17" (36-43cm) neck sizes, in 20mm or 25mm width, with Silver, Antique Brass or Brass hardware. Gives you the widest fit and hardware choice in the most neutral colourway.

Magenta & Teal: the high-contrast choice

• Magenta & Teal Multicolour Waterproof Biothane Buckle Dog Collar: Waterproof Biothane with a traditional metal buckle; abrasion, mould and odour resistant, and quick to clean with no drying time. Keeps the bold colour practical for everyday walks in any weather.

  

• Magenta & Teal Multicolour Waterproof Biothane Buckle Dog Collar: Free personalised engraving includes a colour-matched nameplate; up to 3 lines on 20mm and 25mm widths. Adds identification without a separate tag, and the nameplate matches your chosen hardware.

Turquoise & Fuchsia: bright and durable

• Turquoise & Fuchsia Multicolour Waterproof Biothane Buckle Dog Collar: Handmade in Yorkshire with Biothane and a classic buckle fastening; shape-retaining and does not stretch, even after years of use. A vivid collar that keeps its fit over time, so you are not adjusting it constantly.
• Turquoise & Fuchsia Multicolour Waterproof Biothane Buckle Dog Collar: Neck sizes 11-13", 12-15" and 14-17"; 20mm or 25mm width; Silver, Antique Brass or Brass hardware. Lets you match the collar to your dog's measured neck size and your preferred metal tone.

Mauve & Pastel Pink: soft and easy to clean

• Mauve & Pastel Pink Multicolour Waterproof Biothane Buckle Dog Collar: Waterproof Biothane with a secure buckle fastening; wipe down in seconds with no drying time required. A low-maintenance choice if you want a lighter colour without the cleaning fuss of fabric.
• Mauve & Pastel Pink Multicolour Waterproof Biothane Buckle Dog Collar: Free personalised engraving with a colour-matched nameplate; up to 3 lines on 20mm and 25mm widths, 2 lines on 15mm. Useful if you plan to add a name and contact number to the collar.

Hardware colour: the detail that changes the look

All four collars offer Silver, Antique Brass or Brass hardware. Silver reads cool and modern, which suits the turquoise and magenta combinations. Antique Brass is muted and works well with olive and beige. Brass is warmer and brighter, and can lift the pastel tones of the mauve and pink collar.

The engraved nameplate is colour-matched to the hardware, so the metal you choose affects both the buckle and the personalisation. If you are matching a lead or other accessories, check those metal tones before you decide.

What the supplied information does not tell you

Some details are not confirmed in the product records supplied to us. Treat these as questions to check with the store rather than reasons to avoid a collar.

• Buckle material and finish: The records state a traditional metal buckle but do not specify the metal or its coating. If your dog has a metal sensitivity, ask before buying.
• Engraving character limits: Line counts are given, but the number of characters per line is not stated. Keep personalisation short until you confirm.
• Care beyond wiping: The records describe wiping clean and rinsing off mud and water, but do not list approved cleaning products or machine-washing instructions. Stick to a damp wipe unless the store advises otherwise.
• Breed sizing guidance: No breed-specific recommendations are supplied. Use your dog's measured neck circumference and the size ranges above.

A simple way to decide

Measure your dog's neck first, then choose the size range that contains that measurement with a little room to adjust. If your dog is between sizes, the buckle fastening gives some adjustment, but the supplied ranges are the safest guide.

Next, pick the colour based on how much contrast you want. Olive and beige is the quiet, outdoor-inspired option. Magenta and teal and turquoise and fuchsia are the statement choices. Mauve and pastel pink sits in between. Finally, choose hardware that matches the look you want and any metal accessories you already own. All four collars share the same waterproof Biothane construction, so the decision comes down to fit, colour and hardware.
