Code, I've been through this many times,
Can you not soak the collar in some hot water with a bit of bio detergent in. ? Then scrub and rinse like crazy. It always works for us even on leather though it may take some time to dry. Worth a go.on second thoughts a spare collar to put on while the first one dries is a good idea as your like munchkin in will no doubt roll in the unmentionable again!

yes you can wash leather collars - had to many a time esp with my staffy who liked nothing better than good roll in horse poo!
When it dries it stiffens up - but if you have leather polish wipes you can use them to soften it again, saddle soap is good and Vaseline is really really good at softening the leather again.

It's a fabric collar but tbh it only cost £5 from a Dog's Trust event and after the trauma of getting him in the bath, keeping him in the bath and washing him, I couldn't face it, so he's got his spare one on now - if only because he gets anxious without his collar on.

He's been doing big, sad traumatised eyes all day now and following DH round like he's stuck to his ankles. He's also not eaten any food since he was forced to have a bath.

DH has taken him out for a long walk so hopefully that gets him back to normal.

I always thought that fox poo was the worst smelling thing a dog could roll in, until Truffle found a rotten seagull :eek::eek::eek:

A rotting seal is pretty horrendous! Our previous dog rolled in this when we were on holiday - literally rolled inside the carcass! It was the last day of our holiday and we had to spend the afternoon/evening bathing and drying him. The drive back in the car was awful with every window down and me thinking I was going to throw up any second.
