If it is washing machine friendly, we advise you first to put the dog collar in a washing bag. A washing bag can take the shape of a sock or a pillowcase. This is to prevent the collar’s metal parts from damaging the washing machine’s inside and making uncomfortable noises once inside. Also, you should always check the manufacturer’s temperature recommendation.<\/p>\n

When it’s done, dry it naturally.<\/p>\n
