Viva FAQs
How do I measure my dog for a Viva collar?
Measure around the middle of your dog's neck where the collar will sit, then add two fingers' width for comfort. Viva collars are adjustable within a size range, so check the size guide against this measurement.
Are Viva leads and collars waterproof?
Yes — Viva's poly-weave nylon webbing is designed to be lightweight and weatherproof, so it holds up well to rain, mud and even swimming.
What's the difference between Viva and Ancol's other ranges?
Viva is Ancol's bright, colourful, all-weather collection, while other Ancol ranges like Heritage focus on classic leather styling. Viva suits owners who want bold colour and everyday practicality.
Is Viva suitable for puppies?
Many Viva collars come in small, adjustable sizes suitable for puppies, but always check the specific size range for the product and re-measure regularly as your puppy grows.
How do I stop my dog's lead rubbing on walks?
Look for a padded handle, like the neoprene padding on Viva leads, which cushions your hand during pulling and reduces friction and discomfort over longer walks.
Can I use a Viva collar and lead for training?
Viva's collars and leads are designed for everyday walking rather than specialist training use. For recall or lead training, a longer training lead or harness may give more control.
How do I clean a nylon dog collar or lead?
Most nylon collars and leads can be wiped clean with a damp cloth or washed by hand in warm water. Avoid harsh detergents, which can affect the colour and coating over time.
What size dog is a Viva harness suitable for?
Viva harnesses and collars come in a range of sizes to suit small, medium and large dogs — check the specific chest or neck measurement guide for the product before ordering.
How often should I replace my dog's collar or lead?
Check regularly for fraying, cracking or worn stitching, and replace at the first sign of damage, as a weakened collar or lead is more likely to fail unexpectedly.
Does Viva make matching sets?
Yes — Viva's range is designed so collars, leads and harnesses in the same colourway can be matched up, making it easy to kit your dog out in a coordinated set.
