Vineyard Vines Whale Dog Collar - Navy/Blue. Beautiful navy designer dog collar with bright blue whales! Vineyard Vines® by Mascot®, an exclusive co-branded line designed for the preppiest of Pups! It's a WHALE of a collar & a must have for every mascot this season. Vineyard Vines iconic whale pattern is printed on our signature canvas and lined in nylon grosgrain ribbon. The clear side-release buckle is easy to use, and made from the most durable material on the market.
Our side-release buckles are constructed from a clear polycarbonate plastic (PC). PC is an extremely strong, lightweight, and stable plastic material that is used widely from bullet-proof windows, to compact discs and computers, to greenhouse walls, to automobile headlamps.

Unlike most all of our competitors, our side-release buckles all come with a measured breaking strength. It may be a surprise to you, but dogs are able to apply 2x their body weight on the buckle clasp of their collar. With this in mind, our clear side-release buckles hold to the below strengths:
Measure around the neck, close to the shoulders—as shown in the drawing. Collar should be snug, yet comfortable. You should be able to put two fingers between the collar and your dog.
