Collars

[edzbird]

Thought we could have a place for favourite collars plus, more importantly, collar shopping sites.

I've ordered Meg her first new collar. I love the Ruffwear Hoopie collars at the moment. Coco has 2 (so far), a blue one and a red one. Meg is getting this fancy one..

I very nearly ordered that exact collar for Hattie's Birthday but then discovered these. Lots of great designs and a good strong buckel as I have a fear of buckel failure! I checked out their website, I was satisfied with the strength of the buckel so all will be fine. xx

...and @SwampDonkey sets up camp on this thread...

 

[edzbird]

That's what I'm hoping for - she is the font of all knowledge for collar shopping.

I like the colours and design of the hoopies but are they not all 1.25" ? Lilly generally wears a slimmer 1" collar.

 

[Charlie]

That one is 1" wide. I have a Hoopie which is also 1" xx

 

[SwampDonkey]

Most hoopies are 1inch.

Wow, so glad I found this thread. I have recently become a collarholic, I admit it.

Maisy is currently wearing her Hallowe'en collar, next month it will be poppies, the Christmas one has squirrels and baubles and I have a heart one lined up for February. Still on the look out for January and March onwards. These are only for in the day when she meets lots of people at work.

Walks collars are waterproof and reflective, of which there are 3, and one matching lead. This may not seem much to you all but it has only taken me 2 weeks to go collar crazy - up until a few weeks ago I only had 2 practical ones. Is it wrong?

No, I don't need help - well, maybe financially for more collars

I got a few lupines and I've never had a buckle fail. They are tough collars

 

[HAH]

Mildly off-topic, but I've just bought a couple of little lights to go on Kipper's harness for these evenings: Blip - Safety/Signal Light - Alpkit
He probably won't be off-lead when it's dark, but they'll certainly help if we're walking round the lanes when it's dimpsy.
[Edited to highlight that these ones only flash, they don't have a constant setting]

OH dear, I am the opposite, poor Rourke wears a collar which belonged to my dear departed Drift. I really must buy him a new one, but never know what to get!

Definitely needed for this time of year, I get cheap ones from £1 land if they have them and they usually last a winter or two before the batteries give up. When I cycled to work and it was dark I had them everywhere, on my bike, spokes, handlebars, on my jacket. I looked like a Christmas tree but 'be seen be safe'. Now I will be adorning Maisy with them

Thank you!
I must look again!

I love the Hoopie collars. I need to get one for Ginny so she fits in with the rest of the gang; I just haven’t decided what her colour is. Willow is red, Shadow is blue, Squidge is purple...

 

[snowbunny]

@Shaz82 was it you who posted the link to the poppies collar on Facebook? I’m not into patterned collars, but they had some beauts on there!

 

[SteffiS]

Ripple has a Ruffwear in green, Toffee has a purple Wolters with matching lead and a matching training lead. All thanks to @SwampDonkey .

In fact our credit card bill this month was £££s - two thirds of it dog related stuff . Luckily OH is getting ready for Saudi so left me to open it and deal with it.

Love Maisy's Halloween collar. Coco has a Halloween-themed one too, we will change into it next week I think.
