PERSONALISED DOG COLLARS IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR BLACK FRIDAY 2021
Wondering how exactly we personalise your dog collars for Black Friday 2021? As we mentioned, all of our designer, splash-proof dog collars bought on our website have a matching name tag attached. When you place your order with us for Black Friday, our on-page order form asks you to provide the following information:
Your dog's name
An emergency contact number
Is your dog chipped? (optional)
Once we receive your completed order, we add a stylish VG™ slider brooch to your collar order, and we use the information provided to laser-engrave the matching plated dog tags on your Valgray collar.
WHY DOES VALGRAY FOR DOGS OFFER FREE PERSONALISATION ON WEBSITE ORDERS?
We provide free personalisation on website orders with our laser engraved dog tags to save you from needing to source a laser engraving professional to personalise your tags after purchase.
Free personalisation on orders from Valgray also ensures any escape artists or wandering pups wearing a Valgray dog collar have their parents' information on hand for a quick and safe return home.
For years, leather collars were the go-to choice for those wanting to invest in a luxury premium pet collar. But let's be totally honest, leather dog accessories are not cruelty-free, they absorb odours, retain water and doggy drool, and are a mission to clean.
Because anything cruelty-free really gets our tails wagging, we use 100% vegan materials to create Valgray's accessories for walkies. Our strong nylon-based leash and collar straps are 100% latex-free and fur-friendly. Another great feature of Valgray vegan collars and leashes is that they don't absorb those dreaded doggo smells, and we coat our straps in PVC to make them drool-proof and waterproof.
Not to mention, the sleek vegan materials we use for our straps are extremely easy to clean. Don't believe us? Watch our Valgray for dog product care video below:
Paws and hands up if you hate it when a dog leash gets smelly! We do too. That's why our Black Friday 2021 South Africa deals include splash proof and odour-resistant dog leashes for fur babies who love a sniffari.
Designed to complement our stylish dog collars, Valgray dogs leashes have plated hardware to match the detail on our collars and are available in different sizes.
PSST! WE'VE GOT STRONG DOG LEADS
We bet you didn't know our dog leashes are beautiful, functional and strong. To ensure Valgray premium dog leads are odour-proof, waterproof, tear-resistant and resistant to sub-zero weather conditions, we only use sports-grade PVC-coated nylon webbing to make our leash straps.
The sophisticated plated hardware on our dog leashes is also suitable for swimming and water-based activities. Valgray for Dogs is a premium fashion and lifestyle brand that offers products with waterproof and weatherproof properties.

Winter poses significant challenges for dogs, making it crucial to keep them warm and healthy. By taking proactive measures, owners can ensure their pets remain comfortable throughout the cold months. Here are ten effective strategies to keep your dog warm in winter:
Create a Warm Environment: Ensure your dog has a heated, insulated indoor space and consider safe indoor heating options like space heaters or heating pads. If your dog spends time outside, provide a well-insulated dog house with proper insulation and dry bedding.
Dress Your Dog for Winter: Use winter clothing like sweaters, coats, and booties to help retain body heat and protect against cold conditions. Choose breathable, water-resistant materials and ensure a proper fit. A Valgray dog snood is great for helping to keep them warm in moderately cold conditions.
Adjust Diet and Nutrition: Increase caloric intake to help maintain body heat. Incorporate high-quality proteins, healthy fats, and supplements like fish oil to support overall health while maintaining a balanced diet.
Provide Comfortable Bedding: Use insulated, cushioned beds, and add fleece or thermal blankets for extra warmth. Place the bed in a warm, draft-free area.
Practice Safe Exercise: Adjust exercise routines to include indoor activities and shorter, more frequent outdoor walks. Dress your dog appropriately for cold weather.
Regular Health Check-ups: Schedule regular veterinary check-ups to monitor your dog's health and address any winter-specific issues like arthritis or respiratory infections.
Use Pet-Friendly Heating Devices: Utilize electric blankets, heated pads, or microwaveable heat packs to provide consistent warmth during very cold times. Ensure safety features like automatic shut-offs and avoid direct contact with your dog’s skin.
Monitor Your Dog’s Condition: Watch for signs of cold stress such as shivering, lethargy, and seeking warmth. Address any signs of discomfort or health issues promptly.
Proper Grooming: Keep your dog’s coat well-groomed to maintain its insulating properties. Avoid shaving your dog’s fur during winter to retain natural warmth.
Ensure Adequate Hydration: Make sure your dog has access to fresh, unfrozen water to stay hydrated, which is essential for maintaining body temperature and overall health.
By following these tips as needed, you can ensure your dog stays warm, healthy, and comfortable during the winter months.
Teaching your dog to swim offers numerous benefits, enhancing their physical health, mental well-being, and strengthening the bond between you and your pet. Swimming provides a low-impact workout that is especially beneficial for older dogs or those with joint issues. Additionally, it keeps dogs mentally stimulated and can be a life-saving skill. Here’s a step-by-step guide to teaching your dog to swim:
Preparation: Choose a safe and calm location like quiet lakes or designated dog pools. Gather essential equipment such as a well-fitting life jacket, floating toys, and treats. Make sure your dog is wearing a water-friendly collar like a Valgray splashproof designer collar in case they get lost.Conduct a health check with a vet to ensure your dog is fit for swimming and learn basic safety precautions.
Teaching Basic Commands: Ensure your dog knows basic obedience commands like sit, stay, and come. Gradually get your dog comfortable with water through positive exposure and practice these commands in different environments.
Swimming Lessons:
Start with shallow water introduction and let your dog explore.
Gradually increase water depth and encourage swimming movements using toys.
Use a life jacket initially for safety and confidence.
Track progress and adjust the training pace as needed.
Common Challenges and Solutions:
Fear of Water: Provide gradual exposure and create positive experiences.
Distractions: Choose quiet locations and use high-value treats.
Anxiety: Use calming techniques and allow breaks.
Overexcitement: Set clear boundaries and use commands to manage excitement.
Consistency: Regular, short training sessions are more effective.
Advanced Techniques:
Teach diving and retrieving objects.
Practice in different water bodies to enhance adaptability.
Gradually introduce more challenging environments.
Enhance endurance and strength through extended sessions and vigorous activities.
Always prioritize safety during advanced training.
Remember, the journey of teaching your dog to swim is about building confidence and comfort at each stage while ensuring safety and making the experience enjoyable for both you and your pet.
Helping doggos in need is a cause that’s really close to our heart, which is why we have a Valgray charity drive every year. Over the years we have been proud to donate much needed blankets and dog food to the incredible animal rescues you recommended, as well as gifting designer dog collar and leash sets to newly adopted pooches so they can start their new lives in style.
Valgray is one of the few brands that caters for all dog sizes. From our extra-small collars for the truly tiny pooch to the extra-large collars for giant breeds, we go the extra mile to make sure your fur-babies can put their best paw forward.
It’s important to measure your pup’s neck to make sure your new collar will fit comfortably. Remember to include some space around the neck for your pooch’s safety and comfort. As a rule of thumb, you should be able to fit two or three fingers between the neck and collar.
Once you have your doggo’s measurements, check our sizing guide below for the best collar size.
DON'T HAVE A TAPE MEASURE?
No problem! You can use a variety of household items to safely measure your dog’s neck. See our guide here.

PERSONAL CUSTOMISATION
We try our best to cater to every breed, but some doggos might need a little extra at-home customisation to achieve the perfect fit. Making adjustments to our soft, PVC-coated nylon straps at home is easy. Simply use a standard leather punching tool to add additional holes, or use a utility knife to trim the length of your collar.
