The Dog Bowl wants to make sure that your pet looks stylish and comfortable, so here are some important tips for picking the right collar for your beloved pet!

Before you do any serious shopping, step back and make some basic decisions

1. Is your dog or your dog's friend a chewer or in training? If so, you may not want to invest money in a designer collar, you may be better off with a more durable choice. Also consider if your pet will be engaging in any water activities, in which a leather collar may not be your best choice. Click here for collars made especially for water!

2. If your pet is very active, a durable collar is best, since a fancy collar with embellishments stands the risk of getting damaged by aggressive activity.

Next, make sure you take a precise measurement of your pet's neck, or simply bring in the collar they are wearing now. Don't try to eyeball your pet's measurements, a tight fitting or too loose collar is not desirable at all. Make sure you still have room for two fingers under your pet's collar when it is on, to ensure sufficient breathing room.

And lastly, be creative! The Dog Bowl offers many unique styles that will bring out your pet's true colors, and you will be able to have the most stylish pet in town!
