Harness adjustments are also something we can accommodate. Please email info@houndcollection.com to arrange your customized set. Please note, all custom orders are a Final Sale, no refunds or exchanges will be provided on these items.
CARING FOR YOUR HOUND PIECES
HOUND products are made from a variety of materials, most often garment quality, genuine leather. HOUND pieces should be treated as you would treat your favourite leather handbag, and therefore should not be exposed to water, snow or other harsh elements.
If your items get wet, allow them to air dry on a flat surface. No HOUND item should ever be put in the dryer. If you need to clean a mark off of your collar, mix 1 part water and 1 part white vinegar and spot wash with a damp cloth. Again, lay flat to dry.
HOUND Scarves are constructed from many different, luxurious and natural fabrics and are finished with leather patches and gold plated logos. These fabrics and materials often require special care to clean. HOUND Scarves are Dry-Clean only.
HOUND hardware includes solid brass snap hooks, D rings and buckles. These components can all be cleaned (in fact we recommend it!) with a brass cleaner found at your local hardware or grocery store. Simply polish these components as per the instructions on the bottle and watch your hardware come back to life. The Gold Plated logos and Rivets can be wiped with a soft, damp cloth and quickly patted-dry.

Warranty
HOUND items are each crafted by hand in Toronto with quality workmanship and care. Each piece is made individually out of natural materials and variances should be expected (and enjoyed!) in all aspects of the product.
The lifetime of a HOUND piece is determined by the care, wear and elements each item is subjected to. Product breakage due to chewing, water exposure or anything else that compromises the integrity of the material beyond normal wear is not a manufacturer's defect.
Tarnishing, fading and fraying are all parts of normal wear and tear and HOUND will not replace items due to these factors.
A manufacturer's defect such as hardware failure will be replaced within 6 months of purchase by HOUND. Please contact us at houndcontact@gmail.com regarding any issues.
Disclaimer
All HOUND items are accessory items only, the makers of HOUND assume no liability. The use of the product and safety of the pet and handler is completely at the purchaser and/or user's discretion and responsibility.
