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.

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.

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.
