How to choose a dog collar: read before you buy

Have you ever considered a reflective dog collar for your canine friend? Or even a glow in the dark collar that will help you find your pet in the dark? No? Well, my friend, choosing a dog collar is not an easy task, let me tell you. In fact, it is quite complicated. This is simply because it’s not about what’s best for you, it’s about your pets’ convenience and preferences, and understanding that really isn’t easy!

basic collar

There are many, many different types of collars and basic patterns that you can choose from. In fact, the very fact that the variety of necklaces to choose from is so vast is daunting. The number of styles, colors, and patterns will not only intimidate you, it will completely baffle you!

So which one should you go to? Try a nylon dog collar. They are versatile as they can be found in many colours, shades and patterns and at the same time they do a great job of giving your pet the comfort they need as they are quite soft on the neck. Plus, it’s pretty cheap too!

reflective collar

A modification of the nylon collar is the reflective dog collar. This type of dog collar is very popular because when you take your dog out for a walk at night and he runs off, you will be able to locate him quite easily. In fact, if you like to hunt with your dog, this collar will come in handy too!

So how does this work? These necklaces are specially designed to reflect light. When any kind of light strikes your dog’s collar, it sparkles and shines as a result of which you can easily spot your dog. Reflective collars are quite similar to reflective vests and belts.

Previously, these necklaces were only limited to the color orange. A wide range of reflective dog collars in different shades such as red, pink, blue, purple and many other colors are now available! So get a reflective color that suits yours as we are all sensitive to your dog’s sensitivity!

Necklaces can be fun!

Glow-in-the-dark collars, like reflective ones, are quite practical. They’re fun too! The difference between these collars and reflective collars is that in reflective collars, any light that falls on them will be reflected, while in the case of glow in the dark collars, the collars are made from materials that produce light by themselves.

A very important consideration for glow in the dark collars is how they fit around your dog’s neck. The ideal fit ranges from a one to three finger width gap around your dog’s neck, depending on the size of your dog. So when choosing a dog collar, be practical and choose a reflective or glow-in-the-dark dog collar.
