How do I choose the right collar size for my dog?

Measure your dog's neck at the mid-point and match to the size chart: XS fits 8–12″ necks (toy and miniature breeds), S fits 10–14″ (small breeds), M fits 14–20″ (medium breeds), L fits 18–26″, and XL fits 22–30″ (large and giant breeds). Collar width is ¾″ on XS–S and 1″ on M–XL — the wider webbing suits bigger dogs' builds. If your dog's neck measurement falls in an overlap zone, size up for a more comfortable, adjustable fit.

How do I wash and care for my Amu collar or leash?

Hand wash with mild soap and warm water — do not machine wash. Air dry flat away from direct heat. After washing, inspect the buckle, hardware, and stitching for signs of wear before putting it back on your dog, especially at the attachment points.

How long does shipping take and do you ship internationally?

Amu currently ships within the United States only. Standard shipping takes 5–7 business days and is free on orders $70+ (otherwise $8 flat); express delivery is 2–4 business days for $15. Because each item is hand-stitched in small batches, Drop 01 ships within 2–3 weeks of ordering.

What materials are Amu collars and leashes made from?

Collars and leashes use 100% nylon webbing with country colors woven directly into the weave — not printed, so colors do not fade or peel with regular wear. Collar hardware includes an iron-core ABS quick-release buckle and adjuster with a coated D-ring; leashes use a forged steel snap hook and padded nylon hand loop. The matching human bracelet is 6 mm hand-stitched leather with a brass snap closure.

How do returns work?

Amu accepts returns on unworn items within 30 days of delivery — email hello@amu.pet with your order number and we will send a prepaid return label at no charge. Refunds are issued to the original payment method once the item is received and inspected. Worn or used items are not eligible for return.

Is the quick-release buckle safe for everyday wear?

The collar uses a plastic quick-release buckle designed for easy one-hand removal — useful for fast on/off during grooming or in tight spaces. It is not a breakaway (safety-release) buckle, so for dogs that snag on furniture or fencing, or for walks in thick underbrush, a martingale or breakaway collar may be a safer choice for those specific situations.

Where are Amu products made?

Every collar, leash, and bracelet is hand-stitched in the USA in small batches rather than mass-produced. The country colors are woven directly into the webbing — not printed — so the palette holds up as long as the stitching does.

Is an Amu set a good gift for a dog owner?

Yes — the matching set is built for gifting: a hand-stitched collar for the dog and a matching bracelet for the human, woven in the same country palette. Pick the recipient's home country or favorite team from the 20 palettes, and check the size chart before ordering (collars run XS–XL; bracelets S–L with a ½″ extender for flexibility). Orders over $70 ship free, and unworn gifts can be returned within 30 days.
