PIHA DOG COLLAR 35MM

Your dog’s neck measurement is the best place to start. Weight and breed can be useful guides, but dogs come in many different shapes and proportions.

Our collars fit the following neck measurements:

• Tiny: 20–30 cm | 8–12 in
  14 mm webbing
• Small: 22–40 cm | 8¾–15¾ in
  20 mm webbing
• Large: 34–60 cm | 13½–23½ in
  35 mm webbing

We approach a Subwoofer collar more like a vintage timepiece than an ordinary pet accessory: timeless, understated and considered down to the smallest detail.

Our Signature Stripes are woven exclusively for us, the interlocking buckle is made from solid brass, and the built-in ID tag keeps your dog’s details quiet and streamlined. Marine grade webbing makes the collar soft, lightweight and ready for everyday adventures, while small-batch Auckland production gives every piece the attention it deserves.

Nothing is accidental and the comment we hear most often is, “Someone stopped us to ask where we got the collar.”

Because they genuinely cost more to make. Each piece of solid-brass hardware passes through more than ten hours of cutting, stamping, de-burring, polishing, inspection and sealing—a final process that helps preserve its colour and protect against tarnishing.

Our exclusive marine-grade webbing is UV-stable, soft, lightweight and easy to clean. Every collar is then assembled and sewn locally in small batches by skilled Auckland craftspeople paid fair New Zealand rates.

It’s these quiet, deliberate details you notice the moment you pick up a Subwoofer collar.

Not at all. Solid brass gives our collars their substantial appearance, but each size is carefully proportioned for the dogs it’s designed to fit.

Tiny: 28 g — about the weight of one AA battery
Small: 54 g — a little more than one golf ball
Large: 110 g — a little more than two golf balls

The Tiny is roughly half the weight of the Small, which is roughly half the weight of the Large. The result is a collar that feels beautifully made in your hand while remaining properly balanced for comfortable everyday wear.

Not at all. It may feel unfamiliar at first, but the simple twist-and-insert motion becomes second nature after one or two tries.

Its smooth interlocking design is also kind to long coats, with no prongs or buckle tongue to catch and pull fur. Inspired by vintage life-jacket buckles, it has no enclosed springs or plastic clips for sand and salt to jam.

It looks different because it is different—but once the movement clicks, it’s remarkably easy to use.

Not at all. They’re designed to look beautiful and cope with real life. The solid-brass buckle uses a simple interlocking design inspired by vintage life jackets, with no buttons or enclosed spring mechanisms for salt and sand to jam.

The marine-grade polypropylene webbing absorbs very little water, dries quickly and is made for muddy walks, swimming and days at the beach. Unlike conventional webbing, it is highly resistant to fading from salt water and sun exposure—and guaranteed against fading for five years. It will certainly get dirty, but give it a wash and it comes up beautifully.

Absolutely. Our collars are lightweight, comfortable and adjustable, making them well suited to a growing puppy.

We recommend waiting until your puppy comes home before ordering, as neck size can be surprisingly difficult to predict. If you’d prefer to be organised, ask your breeder for an up-to-date neck measurement shortly before collection.

A correctly fitted collar should allow two fingers to fit snugly between the collar and your puppy’s neck. Check the fit frequently—puppies grow quickly and may eventually need to move into a larger size or wider collar.

If you’re unsure, get in touch and we’ll help you choose.

Our integrated ID tag sits neatly against the collar, so there’s nothing dangling to jangle on walks, clatter against food bowls or catch during play. It also gives the collar its clean, streamlined appearance.

The 2 mm solid-brass tag can be deeply engraved by hand on both sides. Most owners fit their dog’s name and contact number on one side, with a second number or registration details on the other. Additional engraving may incur a small charge.

The tag is removable, too. It can be transferred to another Subwoofer collar of the same width, or replaced if your contact details change—without replacing the entire collar.

Because lasers just don’t cut it. Our master engraver carves each character deeply into our substantial 2 mm solid-brass tags, creating wider, bolder lettering on both sides. Unlike a surface laser mark, which can wear away over time, deep engraving helps your dog’s details remain clear and easy to read for years.

Every character is engraved individually, so subtle variations in letter shape, spacing, depth and alignment are part of its handcrafted charm—and make every tag unique. If you prefer a perfectly uniform, machine-finished result, choose a plain tag and arrange laser engraving instead.

Hand engraving is completely optional, but worth it for the character, craftsmanship and clarity.

Your collar is guaranteed for five years against faults in the webbing, stitching or solid-brass hardware. If something fails because of a problem with the materials or workmanship, get in touch and we’ll assess it, then repair or replace it where appropriate.

The guarantee doesn’t cover accidental damage, chewing or normal wear and tear, including scratches, eventual tarnishing and other cosmetic changes.

For everyday dirt, simply rinse your collar by hand in fresh water and leave it to air dry. If it needs a more thorough freshen-up, it can be machine washed occasionally—around once a month is plenty.

Place the collar inside a sock, then put it in a mesh laundry bag and wash it with plenty of towels. This cushions the solid-brass hardware, protecting both the collar and your washing machine while allowing the webbing to come up beautifully clean.

Always leave it to dry naturally and never put it in the dryer, as high heat can damage the polypropylene webbing.
