Collarways has been appointed UK distributor for US-based Cycle Dog, designers and manufacturers of a range of collars, leads, toys and accessories using post-consumer recycled materials.

“We found Cycle Dog at the Global Pet Expo, Orlando, in February and instantly loved their unique and innovative product line," said Collarways director Gabriela Lerner.

"Cycle Dog's philosophy and environmental ethos fit perfectly with those of Collarways and we're delighted to have been appointed their UK distributor.

"We are excited to be introducing these gorgeous, high quality products to the UK market over the next few months and are convinced that all pet lovers who love the outdoors will naturally gravitate towards the Cycle Dog recycled message."

The collars and leads are hand-sewn in Portland, Oregon, from recycled bicycle inner tubes that would normally end up in landfills. This unique material makes them quick drying, odour free and resistant to mold and mildew.

Each collar features a Latch-Lock seatbelt-style buckle with over 750lb pull strength and both collar and lead come with an integrated Pup Top Bottle opener. There are over 33 exclusive Cycle Dog patterns, as well as a reflective option.

The Cycle Dog Retreads toys are made with Ecoplast, a composite of post-consumer inner tubes and natural rubber, a highly durable, non-toxic material. SuperFloat technology enables the toys to float above the water surface making them easily visible to swimming dogs. Tough squeakers add extra fun.
