While you might be buying cute dog collars and harnesses based primarily on the funky design, you’ll also be fulfilling your legal requirement to have your dog’s ID displayed on their collar if they are out in public. [1]
If you find your dog doesn’t take easy to wearing a collar – you may find these with puppies in particular – you should pack plenty of patience. Encourage them to wear the collar while rewarding them for doing so. Positive reinforcement should play a key role in all canine training.
To fit your cute dog collar, make sure you can slide two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck. If the collar is too tight, this will be uncomfortable and possibly dangerous for your pooch. If the collar is too loose, you may find he is able to back his way out of it.

Lightweight and comfy enough to wear all day, we would rank this collar higher if not for a few reported issues with lifespan.

The hardware of the collar is built with the same attention to detail as the velvet neck band, and you’ll get plenty of service while ensuring your dog looks great in the park.
The only notable drawback is that this metal hardware may feel a little heavy for smaller breeds.
What We Liked

A highly adjustable collar, the fit and finish could be improved, but this is a great collar considering the price point and the overall appearance. Give your dog a treat!

Made from a soft cotton and double-stitched for reinforcement, the major concern with this collar is keeping it in place once you’ve put it onto Fido.
What We Liked
- Sleek bow tie design
- Several vibrant colorways
- Reinforced welded D-ring
What We Didn’t Like
- Difficult to adjust and keep in place
