Products & Sizing
The Adjustable collar is a wardrobe staple for every dog! The all-round perfect collar for dogs of all sizes, strengths, and temperaments. It makes for a great gift thanks to the colour-happy design and flexible fit.
O-Ring collars are ideal for energetic dogs, who love to move-it move-it and get out of their collar. The sporty light design is fit for adventure, especially lending itself to dogs that love to swim. The dynamic choker style slips over your dog’s head and creates a tightening neck fit when pulled on a leash.
The Adjustable Leather Sighthound Dog Collar is a wardrobe staple for svelte Whippets, Greyhounds and Italian Greyhounds of every size and swagger, especially those of the city-slicker variety. Handcrafted in our Cape Town studio, this must-have is made from eco-friendly South African leather in eye-popping colours combined with solid brass fittings.
Puppy Collars - We haven't forgotten about the newest and tiniest of the pack: puppies! The Puppy Love collection includes four dainty collars and two petite leashes for gentle encouragement. Each comes in Chommies' signature happy-colours and high quality design for the pint-sized loves of your life. Have fun getting to know each other, because there's no better feeling than high on Puppy Love.
The Everyday leash is the ideal staple leash for all dogs, big and small, calm, or crazy! It's perfect for walks around town, up the mountain or just chilling at a cafe whilst ensuring your dog is safely by your side.
The Slip on leash (also called Around The Block Leash) loops over your dog’s head for those times when you want to pop out for a quick stroll. It’s quick and easy to slip on, adjust the leather tabs and just like that convert it into a 2-in-1 collar and leash.
The Hands-Free leash is incredibly versatile, perfect for controlling boisterous dogs with your body weight, calm dogs who love leisurely strolls, and even two dogs on one leash!
Our Puppy leashes are our Tiny sized leash, ideal for puppies and miniature dogs. The snap-hook clip that attaches to their collar or harness is slightly lighter than our Mini sized leash.
The Mini Sighthound Leash is a wardrobe staple for svelte Whippets, Greyhounds and Italian Greyhound. The rope is designed to be lightweight for maximum comfort while walking your Sighthound.
