A collar can also be a piece of material put around the neck of an animal, typically a pet, for control, identification, or other purposes. Identification tags and medical information is often placed on collars. Collars are also useful for controlling the animal, as they provide a handle for grabbing.

  • Buckle collars, also called '''flat collars''', are usually nylon or leather with a buckle similar to a belt buckle or a quick-release buckle, either of which holds the collar loosely around the animal's neck. Usually identification is attached to such a collar; it also comes with a loop to which a leash can be fastened.


  • Flea Collar s are impregnated with chemicals that repel Flea s. They are usually a supplementary collar, worn in addition to the conventional buckle collar.

  • Elizabethan Collar s are shaped like lamp shades and prevent a pet from licking something on their body, usually a wound.


A collar sometimes contains (or has attached) a GPS Tracking unit, to locate a lost animal. Alternatively a "backpack" version is attached to a harness.

The collar has been adopted by the BDSM community. In a BDSM context, a collar represents subservience of one kind or another. Collars are also used non-symbolically in the BDSM scene as Fetish gear. These collars are often worn purely as fashion. See Collar (BDSM) .
