Does this collar 'bleed' when wet?

Mine hasn't. But my dog does not wear it much. It's off most odds the time...

I haven't had my dogs swimming with it, but I have put it back on while the hair is still damp from a bath and have not seen any discoloration in their white fur.

I don't know. The collar was not useable due to very small + wrong sizing.R

As with all dyed leather, the answer would be yes! It doesn't bleed a lot but you will notice some! Hope this helps.

YES. but only if it gets very wet. forgot to take it off when I gave my dog a bath. Now I have ot give her another bath and try to get the dye out of her hair :(

I wouldn't say that they are waterproof...My dog is a bush dog and I had once left the collar on her on a rainy day, this happened more by accident, she ran through alot of wet bush and it did survive, but I had the red collar and it did dye the hair around her neck pink...not easy to get off. I do not recommend it for real rainy days...wet/damp bush it should survive and in snow it seems to work fine, but sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't....It's a good, well priced collar that is really only made for night walks ...it keeps you and your dog safe, so that is what I truely recommend it for.

I've seen no signs of rust at all but I do not leave this collar on my dog. I only use it for control on walks. I do wish that the adjustment slide was metal instead of plastic but I haven't had an issue with it. On mine, the plastic "keeper" (for lack of knowing what to call it - the plastic piece near the right ring in the picture) has stretched out and is pretty much useless but it doesn't do much anyway.

I'm sorry, I've only used it once so far. Yesterday it rained a little and the few drops I got on the jacket seemed to bead and roll off, no stains yet. I will know as I use the jacket more in the future!

In my case the answer is yes, it did bleed when it got wet in the washer. I have not washed this item since so I don't know if it continues to bleed after the first wash.

Hi Nicole, I have been using mine for 4 month's with no problems. At night time I remove the collar and our dog comes in just to give her a break. I hope this helps. have a great day, Mark

No, it is a collar & the device is attached. It is waterproof (have a bird dog) and chargeable but already it is not taking a charge in one side. One side is blue & the other red. Usually 2 blue when charged. Not sure what I can do. Don't use it every day....

I think ours got wet even though their water proof. There's a little tiny plug that has to be in and it's easy to forget about it. This collar is good for training your dogs close range. Walking, not getting too excited, jumping on people etc... Our dogs were getting loose and these collars didn't help. No range.

My dog has been out in the rain with no problems but can't say for sure about bathing because the groomer takes her collar off !

Yes, the collar will blink red when low. In my experience, when I don't think it is working, I find the collar light blinking.

Ours does too, and it has been totally submerged once or twice...but I don't recommend it on a regular basis. It would be good to have an extra collar in case of that or many other casualties that may occur.

I have a green and it does not bleed. Although, I have not tested it, I am quite sure that other colors wouldn't bleed as well.

I honestly don't know. I've wondered the same thing about different sellers selling the same thing... I've had this collar on my outdoor cat. She is pretty much a rugged farm cat and this collar has held up 100 % dispite the dirtyness.

Do not allow it to get wet! Toxic amounts of the poison in the collar can be released when wet.

No, the chain hasn't rusted but then again I remove it if the dog is going to get wet. Yes, I am happy with thre quality of build. This is my alternate collar for going to places where a prong collar is frowned upon. I like how easy it is to adjust around my dog's neck

There are available connectors with a rubber boot over the top of the collar to make them "water proof" (water getting in through the collar end). For the exposed metal, I think it is fine, but if you're worried about weather exposure, just use vinyl electrical tape to wrap the collar end or the entire connector -- but it has to be done properly or water could make it in and get trapped (if unwrapped, any water would otherwise dry up).

Your fur baby's collar goes thru loops in the collar..Then it just Velcro's on. My Brittany wore it with no problem for 10 days.
