Ancol FAQs
How long has Ancol been making dog products?
Ancol was founded in 1971 by Ann and Colin Lane as a manufacturer of leather collars and leads, and has grown into a family-run business with over 2,000 products.
How do I choose the right size dog coat?
Measure your dog's back length from the base of the neck to the base of the tail, and their chest girth, then compare both against the size guide for the specific coat.
Are Ancol collars suitable for puppies?
Many Ancol collars come in small, adjustable sizes suitable for puppies, but re-measure regularly as your puppy grows to keep the fit safe and comfortable.
What's the best way to introduce a new toy to my dog?
Offer the toy during a calm moment and let your dog investigate it at their own pace, supervising initial play to see how they interact with it before leaving them unattended.
How do I clean a leather dog collar?
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, avoid soaking, and let it air dry away from direct heat to keep the leather supple rather than stiff and cracked.
Are Ancol toys suitable for strong chewers?
Toy durability varies by design and material — check the specific product description for guidance on chew strength, and always supervise play, replacing any toy that becomes damaged.
Does Ancol use recycled materials in its products?
Yes, Ancol has developed ranges using recycled materials and works to reduce plastic packaging across the business as part of its environmental commitments.
How do I know what size collar my dog needs?
Measure around the middle of your dog's neck and add two fingers' width for comfort, then match this to the adjustable range listed for the specific collar.
Is Ancol a British company?
Yes, Ancol is a family-owned business founded in Walsall, West Midlands in 1971, and remains based there today with worldwide distribution.
What should I look for in a dog's winter coat?
Look for a snug, secure fit that doesn't restrict movement, water-resistant fabric, and a good length of coverage along the back for dogs walked in cold or wet weather.
