Tip for February 23: Best Kind of Dog Collar

There seem to be thousands of types, sizes, shapes, colors, and designs of dog collars. You can spend hours in a pet store trying to decide which one to purchase. I have a friend who has at least 12 different collars for her dog. The dog has her own wardrobe. I'm good for two, maybe three collars per dog. Always an extra in case one gets wet or muddy.

But what's the best collar to purchase? Experts tell us to invest in a good quality leather collar with a buckle (like a belt). Notice "good quality". Some collars are partly leather and partly plastic. You want to be sure you buy the real thing.

Quick-release nylon/web collars are very popular. They are inexpensive with plastic sport-style clips. These collars are cute and colorful but they break easily, which could put your dog at risk. People in the know compare these inexpensive collars to discount-store polyester pants with a cheap undependable fly. What a visual.
