If you have a petite pooch, your collar should also be petite. That does not mean it has to be boring. You can get pink for the girls and blue leather dog collars for the boys. There are also a large selection in browns and blacks that are available in a wide range of prices.
Jewels decorate many of the collars. Most are glass beads, but you can actually find diamond studded if you choose. Just be sure the beads are securely fastened to the collar so your dog does not wind up with them in their tummy. There are also metal studs that you can find. It gives a manly look to a boring strip of leather.
Personalized collars with metal plaques can be ordered in many places on line or at your favorite pet store. This does not have to be just your dogs’ name. It can also include emergency information such as the address of your home and your phone number. Dogs may wander and get lost. If someone finds them, it will be much easier to relocate them to their rightful owners if the information is handy. The last thing any conscientious dog owner wants is to lose their beloved pet.
