Vortex | Premium Paracord Dog Collar
Vortex | Premium Paracord Dog Collar
The Vortex is a mid-width collar with a distinctive, twisting pattern that draws the eye and commands attention! This collar is designed for confident dogs who stand out, whether on the trail or in town.
The Vortex is substantial without feeling bulky, making it suitable for mid to large dogs. It’s made from four different colour strands of standard paracord for strength and flexibility and is similar in size to the Cascade collar, while fully adjustable with the genuine BioThane adapter.
About our collars
Every Big Green Hound collar is handcrafted to order in our Devon studio. We use high quality materials throughout, including strong and reliable paracord, with adapters made from genuine BioThane for adjustability. Strong metal hardware completes the look.

Collar measurements
This collar is made from standard type 3 paracord (550lb breaking point, 4mm diameter) and is approximately 3.5cm wide and 1cm thick. As each piece is handmade, please allow for small tolerances on all size measurements. Due to its size, the Vortex collar is most suited to mid to large dogs and may be too wide/weighty for smaller breeds.
Fitting guidance
Please provide your dog’s measured neck circumference for an accurate fit. Your collar will be made to this size on the middle hole of the adapter, giving a few centimetres of adjustment either side for a secure and comfortable fit. For best results, please refer to our measuring guide. We are unable to accept returns for collars that do not fit due to incorrect measurements.
Sizing Information
Because paracord collars vary in thickness, measuring a collar flat will not give the correct neck size. Therefore, please measure your dogs neck rather than their existing collar, as this will give a more accurate measurement. Using a fabric tape measure, measure around the point of the neck where their collar usually sits, allowing for two fingers width to fit snugly under the tape. All sizing is checked before dispatch. This will be done with the collar done up for accuracy.

Caring for your collar
We advise handwashing in warm water with a mild detergent or machine washing at 30° in a laundry bag (or pillowcase if you don't have one!) to protect your machine and the hardware.
To prolong the life of the hardware we recommend drying the buckle and rings after washing or if it gets wet, especially after contact with sea water, which can cause corrosion.
Although the materials are very tough, nothing is indestructable! Never allow your dog to chew their collar or lead.
Keep away from fire.

We will endeavor to create your order as quickly as possible in all cases, however please note that choosing express delivery on handmade products will only expedite the delivery time and not the processing time.
If you require your products urgently, please contact us before placing your order for an accurate processing estimate.

All collars are measured before dispatch and as such we cannot offer refunds or exchanges on collars which do not fit as a result of incorrect neck measurements. Please see "Sizing Information" for more details.
