Waterproof Dog Collar Guide

Built Tough for Aussie Dogs

Waterproof Dog Collars Australia — Built to Handle Whatever Your Dog Throws at Them

Two years of beach swims, muddy paddocks and hard yakka. Still going strong. That's what a real waterproof collar looks like — and that's the standard every Jacaranda collar is built to.

If your dog swims, works, rolls in things, or simply lives a proper Aussie dog life — a nylon or fabric collar isn't going to cut it. They absorb water. They hold smells. They fray. They need replacing every few months. And you just keep buying them.

Our PVC collars don't do any of that. Waterproof from day one, odour resistant by design, and built with riveted construction that outlasts stitching by years. Some of our very first customers bought their collar two years ago. They're only just starting to see normal wear and tear.

"Nylon collars need replacing every 3 months on an active dog. Our customers are still on their first Jacaranda collar after two years. That's not luck — that's PVC."

Two waterproof collars — one for every dog

We make two styles of waterproof collar. Both are handmade in Orange, NSW from the same tough PVC webbing with the same quality hardware. Choose the one that suits your dog.

Waterproof PVC Collar

Standard · XS to XL

Our everyday waterproof collar. Handmade, riveted, available in 12 bold colours and five sizes from XS to XL. Waterproof, odour resistant, easy to clean and built to handle everything from morning walks to full days on the farm. The collar that keeps going long after nylon gives up.

The waterproof martingale with buckle that nobody else was making — so we built it ourselves. Stainless steel martingale chain with PVC webbing and an adjustable buckle. Gentle tightening control without choking, easy on and off, and completely waterproof. Designed specifically for greyhounds, whippets, sighthounds, and any dog that backs out of a standard collar. Trusted by service and guide dog handlers too.

Why waterproof matters — and why PVC is the answer

❌ Standard nylon collars

Absorbs water — stays wet for hours
Soaks up bacteria, sweat and odour
Frays and fades in UV and salt air
Needs replacing every 3 months
Stitching unravels under pressure
Turns into a bacteria hotel fast

✔ Jacaranda PVC collars

100% waterproof — not a drop absorbed
Non-porous — odours can't penetrate
UV and salt-air resistant
Customers still going after 2 years
Riveted — stronger than stitching
Wipe clean in two seconds flat

How to clean a waterproof PVC collar

This is the best part. There is no process. There's no soaking, no scrubbing, no special detergent, no chucking it in the washing machine and hoping for the best.

Wipe down with a damp cloth after muddy walks — done in seconds
Rinse under the tap for deeper cleaning — no soap needed
No drying time — PVC doesn't absorb water so it's ready immediately
No odour build up — non-porous surface means bacteria has nowhere to live
Salt water safe — rinse after the beach and it looks brand new

Built for every Aussie dog and every Aussie condition

The martingale nobody else was making — so we built it

We couldn't find a waterproof, adjustable martingale with a buckle made in Australia. So we designed and built one ourselves. Stainless steel martingale chain rated to 150–300kg depending on size, PVC webbing, adjustable buckle — easy on, easy off, completely waterproof and built to last.

It's been requested specifically by service dog and guide dog handlers who need reliable, waterproof, secure gear for working dogs on the job. If it's good enough for them, it's good enough for anyone.

Absolutely love our PVC dog collar! The quality is amazing, it’s strong and durable, and it looks even better in person. It’s also so easy to clean, which is a huge bonus with an active dog. The collar fits perfectly and feels like it will last for ages.

Received my collars promptly. Great quality, beautiful finish. Very happy with the product.

Collars are superb super soft and flexible fit well

BEST EVER 10/10!!!

first of all i am a total gear snob! there are few and far companies i truly love and Jacaranda is a huge winner. you cannot substitute a good PVC collar, its so wet this winter, i really needed something that didn't need to be hung up to dry all the time, especially during club days and at sport trials where dogs are running on muddy ovals These collars are soft and flexible unlike other brands of this sort. i also found the sizing very generous. We normally use ruff wear collars which can go upward of $50 each, but you cant beat Jacaranda! under $20 , Handmade in AUS , Waterproof , Soft to the touch , Grippy (my new MUST for walking 3+ dogs together) and i trust these clips not to snap (i ordered custom from a well known CA company and that's how i found out we have good recall! thank you jacaranda , this is the kind of business we need to support, from farmers to city pups these collars are amazing for all <3

Super strong and really lovely colours!

We brought multiple different collars and leads we love the martingale sets, the training lead and ute straps we have a working pup and a house dog and they work great for both of them my house dog would break everything collar and lead we ever used and I'm happy to say that these have held up I'm a very happy customer we definitely never look back now

These collars are outstanding. The material is heavy-duty but soft enough that it doesn’t irritate any of my dog's skin. The buckle snaps tightly and feels completely secure against hard pulling dogs. I absolutely love the range of colours you can choose from. It has been through mud and water, washes easily, and does not hold odors. Fits all my dogs perfectly according to the size chart. Highly recommend these collars if you’re looking and needing something that’s durable and something that also looks nice! Great quality and bloody affordable!

Sarah from Jacaranda Colas was lovely she was able to answer my questions. I put my order in on the Monday and got it Wednesday in the same week.

We were ordering several different items but had some confusion regarding the name of the particular "pink" colour we wanted.
Sarah replied promptly to our emails and supplied pics/names so we could get exactly what we wanted.
Everything arrived quickly and we just love the feel of the PVC. It gives grip but doesn't rub or scratch your hands. Everything wipes clean easily and the colours are perfect.
We highly recommend Jacaranda Collars for quality and service.
