Adjustable 18-25cm leather pet collar – high quality and style

Veterinary Analysis of Piccolo NG Adjustable Leather Collar 18-25 cm for Pets – High Quality and Style

The CUCUVET Piccolo NG Collar has been designed according to veterinary criteria that prioritize the safety, cervical ergonomics, and dermatological health of small pets. Its high-quality natural leather construction not only provides durability but also reduces the risk of chafing, friction alopecia, or contact dermatitis, common with synthetic or poorly fitting collars. Ideal for small breeds such as Yorkshire Terriers, Pomeranians, Chihuahuas, or Shih Tzus, this collar offers a precise fit (18-25 cm) that respects the anatomy of the neck without compressing the trachea or restricting movement.

Analytical Composition and Actives

• Full-grain natural leather: 100%. Vegetable tanned, free of irritating chemicals.
• Metal buckle: Steel reinforced with anti-corrosion treatment (3% chromium).
• D-ring: Surgical grade stainless steel (grade 316L), ideal for safe contact with skin.

Dosage and Correct Administration

• Frequency of use: Daily during walks, training, or controlled activities.
• Placement instructions: Adjust the collar leaving a space of 1 to 2 fingers between the dog's neck and the leather to avoid excessive pressure.
• Review: Inspect the condition of the leather, stitching, and buckle weekly.
• Recommended minimum age: 6 months or when the puppy's cervical development is complete (depending on the breed).

Safety, Side Effects and Contraindications

• Dermatological safety: Vegetable-tanned leather reduces the risk of allergic contact dermatitis.
• Contraindications: Not recommended for brachycephalic breeds (such as French Bulldogs) that require a harness for breathing reasons.
