Dog Collars to Keep Your Pet Safe and Stylish

Dog collars and nametags are critical to the safety of your pet, yet they can still be stylish and personalized to your dog. Dog collars come in an enormous array of styles and options. You can get glow in dark dog collars, leather and rhinestone dog collars, fashion dog collars, lighted dog collars and even Swarovski dog collars.

Some companies will personalize your dog's collar with his/her name and add your phone number for extra safety.

Dog Collar Styles

The most common dog collars are made of heavy nylon with durable stitching and either reinforced buckle holes or the handy Quick Klip style that snaps closed and won't come open on its own.

Glow in dark dog collars and lighted dog collars are popular with people who enjoy taking their pet for a walk in the evening or twilight. Just as we like to wear sneakers or walking shoes with glow in dark strips so we can be seen by motorists, it is just as important that our dogs can be seen in the dark too.

Leather and rhinestone dog collars, swarovsky dog collars and other fashion dog collars are often seen on smaller dogs and toy dogs who (or whose owners) want to make a fashion statement. There are some beautiful swarovski dog collars that come in a variety of collars to look like precious gems. They look especially cute and stylish on poodles, maltese and similar dogs.

Some owners prefer harnesses, for better control, especially with assertive dogs.

Measuring Your Dog for a Collar

Whichever collar style you choose, add approximately 2 1/2 inches to the measurement of your dog's neck for a comfortable and safe fit.
