Rhinestone studded, reflective, leather and patterned are just some styles of dog collars and leashes available in today抯 huge pet supply market. Dogs of every breed and size have a variety of options when it comes to collars and leashes.

Our beloved dogs are special to us so giving them the best collar and leash, at the most affordable price, is a way to show them we care. There are so many options in so many price ranges today. Stylish collars and leashes feature a variety of colours as well as can be personalized with your dog抯 name, if we want. There are different widths and fasteners to choose from as well. However, no matter if the collar and leash are plain or fancy dog owners need them. So go ahead and look into getting something stylish for your furry friend.

When choosing a collar and leash think about everything available and what抯 best for your dog. While we choose from a variety of clothes and jewelry dogs have different items available to them as well, such as a studded leather collar and leash. Nevertheless, using a wide collar isn抰 a good idea because it irritates a dog抯 throat. Another thing to keep in mind is the strength of the collar and leash. Will the product be strong enough for you to keep control if your pet wants to run off? Will it stay together?

The perfect fit for your dog is also very important when shopping for your dog抯 collar and the leash. Your pet needs to be comfortable and safe in whatever new collar and leash you choose. Measure your pet by putting a tape measure around the neck, place two fingers under the tape and add a few inches to the measurement. This is because dog collars are sold by even number sizes. Go up to the next size if the measurement is an odd number.

A new fashionable collar and leash also needs to be practical. The ability to display your pet抯 identification (ID) tags is very important in case your dog is lost. These tags provide your pet抯 name, home address, your name, telephone number, veterinarian抯 name and phone number. Furthermore, be sure the collar can also accommodate your dog抯 rabies tags and a medical condition tag, if needed.

Other styles of collars and leashes available today are:

Breakaway - are designed to prevent choking a dog because it releases when tugged hard. This feature saves dogs?lives, but remains intact when used with the leash.

Buckle - are made of leather, nylon or cotton and flat or rolled and adjusts to fit your dog抯 neck.

Greyhound limited slip or limited slip - are adjusted to tighten without choking a dog when it tries to pull out of a collar.

Round - are made to not harm or break the dog抯 hair.

Remember, safety first when choosing a collar and leash no matter the cost or style. Your beloved companion抯 safety and comfort comes first.
