The Miro & Makauri neoprene padded nylon collar is a practical everyday collar designed around a specific problem: plain nylon webbing can cause chafing, matting, and skin irritation on longer-haired or sensitive dogs. The inside of this collar is fully lined with soft, polyester-covered neoprene padding, which creates a barrier between the collar and the coat. The nylon exterior remains durable, and the plastic click clasp makes it easy to put on and take off without fiddling with a buckle. Available in six sizes covering toy breeds through to large dogs, and in a range of colours.
Full neoprene lining: The neoprene padding runs the full length of the inside of the collar, not just at the contact points. This prevents the nylon from rubbing directly against the skin or coat, making it a more comfortable choice for dogs worn in collars all day or for breeds prone to coat matting at the neck.
Click clasp fastening: The plastic clasp clicks open and closed in one motion — faster and easier to manage than a traditional roller buckle, particularly useful for dogs that won't stay still during dressing.
Adjustable fit: Each size adjusts within its neck circumference range, so you can set the exact fit rather than choosing between fixed holes. The collar sits flat and stays in position during normal movement.
Six sizes across three widths: 15mm for small and toy breeds, 20mm for small to medium breeds, and 25mm for medium and large breeds. Use the sizing table below — the neck circumference range is the key measurement, not the size letter.
Multiple colours: Available in Aqua Blue, Pink, Orange, Purple, Black, Navy, and Red. See the sizing table for the full colour and size matrix — not every colour is available in every size.

Common questions
How do I measure my dog for the right size?
Use a soft tape measure around the narrowest part of your dog's neck. Add approximately two finger-widths of slack to that measurement for a comfortable everyday fit — this gives the collar room to sit naturally without pressing into the coat. Use the neck range in the sizing table to find your size. If between sizes, go up.
What does neoprene padding actually do?
Neoprene is a closed-cell synthetic foam — it is soft, smooth, and non-abrasive against skin and coat. In a collar, it acts as a cushion between the harder nylon webbing and your dog's neck, preventing the webbing from rubbing the coat or skin directly. This is particularly useful for dogs with longer coats around the neck (Spaniels, Collies, Goldendoodles), for dogs that wear collars all day, and for dogs with sensitive skin.
How does the click clasp work?
The click clasp is a standard side-release buckle — press both side buttons simultaneously to open it, and press the two halves together until they click to close. It is faster to operate than a traditional roller buckle and releases reliably with one hand. The collar can be put on and removed without moving it over your dog's head.
Does this coordinate with the Miro & Makauri leads at Hairy Dogs?
Yes — the Miro & Makauri Belay nylon lead is available in matching and complementary colours at Hairy Dogs, including Navy, Black, Red, Aqua Blue, Orange, and Pink. The lead uses the same colour range and is designed to pair with the collar for a coordinated look.
How do I clean the collar?
Wipe down the nylon exterior with a damp cloth for everyday cleaning. For a deeper clean, hand wash in cool water with a small amount of mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and lay flat or hang to air dry. The neoprene lining should not be machine washed as it can affect the padding's structure over time.
