FAQ's - Answers from our Expert
My dog is very small, which products are most suitable?
As our message is intended to be as clear as possible, we keep embroidery to a certain height. This means items such as the collars or bandana are likely going to be too large for our smallest dog friends. We highly recommend the xs soft vest harness or even the small coat instead - please refer to the fitting guide if you are unsure.
My dog is very strong and pulls on the lead, which products are most suitable?
Oh my friend, we sympathise! Too often pet products have a reduced life because they are not made to withstand the realities of dog management. For you, we recommend any of the collars, leads and the anchor strap harness. A bandana can even add a little flair! We would avoid the soft vest harness for dogs who pull.
What is the best combination for visibility?
Our behaviourist recommends having one message at your own wait height (i.e. a lead) and at least one message on your dog. The combination of the two really helps more people notice that something is different about you...
Where should I use my Friendly Dog Collar gear?
Everywhere! But it is especially appreciated in dog populated areas. Our behaviourist recommends putting them on your dog for vet visits, grooming appointments, training sessions and walks. These are the times when it will be most helpful to you to have your dog's needs seen.
What if people don't pay attention?
It's so difficult navigating the world with a pet who has particular needs and requires extra support. We would love to have the power to change that for you in a product. However, we have to stress that it is up to owners and handlers to continue to act in the best interest and safety of the people and pets around them as well as their own dog. Responsible pet ownership and kind communication will ensure these messages are seen and heard with the best outcomes. (See disclaimer)
Very fast friendly service. this is our second white blind collar for our five year old great Dane. Love how it expresses his sight issues without scaring people off such a big dog. Its very sturdy and looks great, plus our big dog seems super comfy in it!
For the last 7 years my now 13 year old dog has worn the blue ‘therapy dog’ harness which I purchased from friendly dog collars with the matching leash. He has saved my life three times by staying with me and calling for help after I had suffered from a clonic tonic seizure, I also suffer from Fibromyalgia and PTSD, everyone who knows me also knows Harry.
Unfortunately Harry began showing signs of Cushing’s disease towards the end of 2021. In January we began investigating the Cushing’s disease. He had gone from 5.7kg to 9kg (from the Cushing’s) and still could fit comfortably in the harness with adjusting.
Unfortunately during an abdominal ultrasound that was undertaken on 18th January, Harry began to vocalise in the middle of the procedure, while under a light sedation. We noticed straight away that he wasn’t himself but thought it was the medications. Unfortunately after two days of crying and him refusing to jump in or out of the car or up/off sofa I knew something was really wrong.
Went straight to the vet and found out that during the ultrasound Harry must have suffered from a Stroke, the damage caused by the stroke had caused 100% complete blindness in both eyes.
As soon as I found out I was heartbroken for him. But promised to make his life comfortable, pain free and happy.
I decided to retire him from being my therapy dog… even though he STILL wants to be my therapy dog. I ordered the “blind dog” Harness for myself and the collar for when my parents want to take him out.
I have taken him out once as we have had a lot of hot weather lately which isn’t good for his Cushing’s. But when we did go out so many people stopped to live on him because he had the “blind dog” harness on him.
I also had two separate women approach me to ask where I got the harness from as they also had blind dogs and really liked that the harness said his disability nice and clearly.
I even had another lady who had a blind dog that passed away last year and I was talking about maybe getting Harry a dog carrier/pram for him for when he gets too tired. She said she had one and was happy to gift it to myself and Harry. Which was so helpful as I am a pensioner.
These harnesses, leashes & dog collars have been a huge blessing for me over the last 7ish years. My doctor has seen me be more independent as I can now go out with my therapy dogs (as Sookie has been in training and is able to do the same as Harry).
And now in Harry’s retirement FDC have helped once again by notifying the public that Harry is a blind dog.
I don’t know how many times over the years I have told people about friendlydogcollars.com.au but I love them because they are an Aussie company, have great prices, beautiful and well made products (my therapy dog harnesses and leash still look brand new), easy to read, comfortable handgrip leash and super soft collars and harnesses.
Will only ever purchase my dog products from this website from now on and will always recommend to any new dog owner or any owner who requires a specialty written collar, vest or harness.
Thank you Friendly Dog Collars!
A well made collar; however it is a bit lost on our fluffy dog. It goes well with the lead though.
Nice sturdy washable collar. People now talk to my dog before approaching him so he knows what direction they are coming from . Just seeing the collar reminds me to keep the furniture on the verandah in the same place so he doesn’t have collisions. We live in a very dusty red dirt place so the whit on the collar gets dirty really quickly here
Snoopy has his blind dog collar now and I have a sense of peace knowing if he ever gets out the person who finds him will know he has special
Needs thankyou
Great quality, very durable. My little girl cant see it so I don’t know how she feels about the look, but she doesn’t try to get it off and it doesn’t irritate her sensitive skin. Would buy again.
A very helpful addition for our old, blind dog. Well made and strong.
Very happy with the Blind collar and lead. Such a relief I no longer need to explain my dog is blind. Would be great to have an option of a different colour as the collar gets a bit lost on my white Bichon (in between grooming visits). Great business and fast delivery.
I recently bought the Blind Dog collar in size small and I think it would be great for many dogs but my dog’s neck is quite slender. The clip in chunky (but looks strong) and the collar is quite wide. Unfortunately its too bulky for my doggo and at 16yrs old I think he needs his comfort. If you made a slimmer version with smaller clip I would definitely buy that
It seems a great quality collar but way to big for my small terrier
Excellent customer service and top quality products! Everyone who meets our German Wirehaired Pointer puppy who is blind instantly notices the collar and takes extra care around her.
Goog thick strong collar. S/M is ideal size for standard schnauzer.

Collar has been great, but it was a lot larger than expected & to fit correctly means that the buckle is over the writing so you can't read it properly. We bought the smallest available for a large greyhound.
Very happy with both products. Good quality.
Great product, clip is strong and collar is nice and clear to read.
Loved the quality of the collar but the S/M which is the smallest size was still too large. I adjusted it to fit her neck but with that you could only see the word blind on the right side of the collar. Would love if there was a smaller make with a smaller buckle as well so you don't have to asmdjust the collar as much and can see more of the writing. Still love the product.
Such a relief having this collar on my boy. I put it on him when we go to off leash areas and it so much easier having people know that he actually can’t see them, and can’t necessarily see the entirety of their dog’sbody language or know where their stuff is unless he recognises the scent etc. I also feel less crazy when I’m clapping and clicking as I call him back ♀️
Awesome quality! Will get more of these for dogs I work with.
Excellent quality with Sapphires new blind dog collar its such a beaut identification for people to immediately know shes blind. Her blindness has made her slightly nervous around people so the collar assists both my dog and people who approach her. Thank you so much.
We’re very please with the product. It is great quality and really stands out, which is what we wanted.
