Fancy Pet Collars
by Beth
Have you been to a specialty pet store lately, either in person or online? The choice of fancy pet collars is so extensive it can seem a little overwhelming. But by breaking down the process you can easily find exactly what you’re looking for, whether it’s as simple as a cute cat collar or decorative cat collar… or as elaborate as a lighted bicycle dog leash and collar set.
Choosing The Right Size & Type Of Fancy Pet Collar
One of the first things you need to consider is the size and type of your pet. Then think about the primary purpose of the pet collar. Are you looking for something sporty and durable? Are you looking for something sparkly? Or are you just looking for a place to put the pet identification tag?
When looking for a fancy pet collar you want to make sure the weight and width of the collar will be proportional to your pet’s size. This will help insure that it looks right and more importantly that it’s comfortable for your pet.
To find the right length of collar, measure your pet’s neck then add one inch for small dogs or cats, and two inches for medium to large dogs. You should be able to easily fit two fingers between your pet’s neck and the collar. You want a snug fit, not too tight of course, but not too loose either– if it’s too loose it could slip off or get caught on something.
Pet Id Tags
Remember one of the most important things about a pet collar is that it holds your pet’s ID tag. When someone finds a lost pet, especially a shelter, the first thing they do is check for pet identification tags. Sometimes the collar itself is even helpful in identifying a lost pet.
This being the case you can see the importance of having a collar on your pet. So why not have fun with it; take a look at the wide selection of fancy pet collars available. You can easily find something that fits you and your pet’s style…
Fancy Pet Collars – From Cute Cat Collars To Designer Dog Collars
If you’re looking for cute cat collars or designer dog collars, you may want to consider nylon. Nylon collars come in all sorts of colors, from solids to a multitude of prints – even camouflage for that sly kitty who doesn’t want to be seen slinking around outside.
Nylon collars also pretty durable and some have a breakaway feature. A breakaway pet collar allows the pet collar to break apart if your pet becomes stuck on something. This can help your pet escape a dangerous situation.
If you’re looking for a more decorative cat collar or cute dog collar, you might want to look at a sparkly rhinestone collar, or better yet a Swarovski crystal collar. Swarovski crystals are made by a well-known European company called Swarovski AG. They specialize in precision-cut crystal glass. Many of these are hand made and of the highest quality. You can even have a custom made collar choosing the color of stones to spell out your pet’s name.
