Charitable Impact
When you purchase a MIL Edition collar, you are directly contributing to:
K9s For Warriors: The nation’s largest provider of service dogs to military veterans suffering from PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and/or military sexual trauma. Their program rescues dogs from high-kill shelters and trains them to be life-saving companions for veterans.
Big Fish Foundation: An organization led by Brian "Tosh" Chontosh dedicated to helping veterans transition to civilian life through camaraderie, psychological wellness programs, and a renewed connection to the principles of service.
Performance Benefits
Double-Ply Strength: The 2-ply construction offers significantly more rigidity and strength than standard single-ply nylon collars, making it ideal for large, powerful breeds that are prone to pulling.
Tactical Durability: Designed to resist fraying and structural failure even when exposed to harsh outdoor training environments.
Corrosion Resistance: The powder-coated D-rings are built to withstand moisture and prevent the rust common with generic nickel-plated hardware.
High Control: The 1.5" width of the Large model provides a greater surface area on the dog's neck, offering better control and reducing pressure during heavy pulling or lunging.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and warm water. For mud or dirt buildup, a soft-bristle brush is recommended. Air dry completely. DO NOT machine dry, as extreme heat can compromise the nylon fibers and the plastic buckle.
Inspection: Periodically check the buckle for cracks and the webbing for signs of chewing or fraying. If the collar is structurally compromised, replace it immediately.
Hardware Check: Occasionally wipe down the D-rings and the laser-etched tag to prevent dirt buildup and maintain the clarity of the etching.
Sizing Note: For a safe fit, ensure you can fit two fingers between the collar and the dog's neck. It should be snug enough not to slip over the head but loose enough to prevent restricted breathing.
Warranty Information
The Rogue Dog Collar MIL Edition is backed by Rogue’s standard warranty against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Note: The warranty does not cover damage caused by the dog (e.g., chewing), normal cosmetic wear, or structural damage resulting from using the collar as a permanent outdoor tie-out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this collar have a Velcro strip for patches? A: No, this model features a pre-sewn Rogue logo patch. It does not have a Velcro loop surface for attaching custom "tactical" patches.
Q: Is the Large size suitable for a very big dog like an English Mastiff? A: The Large size adjusts up to 24". Measure your dog's neck carefully; most large and giant breeds will fit within the 15"-24" range, but always check the circumference before ordering.
Q: Can my dog swim in this collar? A: Yes. Nylon is naturally water-resistant and dries quickly. After swimming in salt water, it is recommended to rinse the collar with fresh water to preserve the powder coating on the D-rings.
Q: How much of my money goes to the charities? A: Rogue donates the proceeds from every MIL Edition collar sale. To date, this campaign (along with related products) has raised nearly $500,000 for veterans' charities.
