YUDOTE Neoprene Padded Classic Camo Dog Collars Small,Green Camouflage

A sturdy collar that is well made and of which we have been so satisfied that we continued to a second purchase for our fast growing girl; the first in the green floral and the second in the pink; pink only because we needed it yesterday and the green wasn't available immediately! Therefore, this review may be considered towards BOTH collars equally.The 'evidence' for my 5* award:Fabric material:-Perhaps a little stiff upon initial wearing but any dressings in the material soon softened with body heat/perspiration; our girlie's was perfectly pliable within a very short time. She certainly did not display any symptoms of being in discomfort with her new neck attire other than the first few hours of being an eight week old pup experiencing a collar for the very first time. Whilst her rapid growth meant that her first collar had a life span of merely ten weeks, I rather expected that the fabric might prove to have a similar life span naturally. Not so.Our girl, a Mastiff x Staff x Lab, outgrew the first of these collars after ten weeks....but goodness me, it didn't have an easy ten weeks with our little mischief maker/gardener pup. It endured the abrasive properties of paving slabs, rosebush thorns, gnarled branches and the brambles that were our girl's preferred playground in her early weeks - playgrounds that are no more since it was only a matter of time before thorns ended up in pads etc. (Going to have to buy our blackberries from here on in!). Further, since our pup's favourite game to play with our five year old Staff was 'drag each other around by the collar', it would be fair to say that this one has suffered more than its' fair share of abuse. (Happily, playtime is a little more civilised now that our girl has attained the grand old age of eight months!).The clasp:-Is not too bulky for the animal to wear; is secure though not overly stiff for human hands to open and close with ease (I have arthritis) - I think another reviewer says 'rock solid' and it is so. As with the fabric, the clasp has stood up well to 'the abuse'; the plastic material has not fractured despite it being a favourite 'foothold' spot for our Staff when playing these rough & tumble games and nor did he manage to open it.In fact, I would go so far as to say that on one occasion the secure clasp saved our pup from injury when she managed to - somehow - trap herself beneath an armchair as it was being reclined (don't ask; still don't know how she managed to do it considering she was hardly tiny even back then). Our Staff's responses were faster than ours; he'd heard her first squeal and before we'd had time to even understand the cause of that squeal, he'd grasped her by her (this) collar and had dragged her out of harm's way. One hero Staff and a shaken but mercifully unharmed puppy.D-ring:-I have to admit that I'm a little puzzled by one reviewer who suggests that there is no D-ring to this collar and therefore no place from which to attach an identity tag. Not so. The D-ring is of a size, thickness and weight appropriate to the overall size of the collar and as my own photographs will demonstrate, that all-important identity tag most assuredly can be attached! Enough said.Size Adjustment:-This collar is perfectly simple to adjust, both in the initial adjustment required to suit the size of and comfort to the animal but thereafter too as in the case of our girl, as the animal grows. Please note that any series of adjustments required becomes easier as the fabric softens. Further, once adjusted it stays put!Overall Construction:-As I've previously mentioned; the two collars we've had have each taken more than their fair share of abuse in a very short period of time: ten weeks and eleven weeks respectively. Other than a single 'snag' to each resulting in a single strand being made loose, the fabric has worn well and would continue to do so for some time yet. The stitching holding together the outer and backing fabric is even and straight all the way around both collars and examining each carefully prior to writing this review, neither collar is showing evidence of broken stitching. The bindings around the edges have - miraculously - suffered no harm and remain as good as new in this respect.As the images will show and as mentioned previously, despite the abuse, collar number one (the green) stood up well; just a single strand of the fabric broke loose and that was as far as any 'damage' went. I do not feel a single strand equals the loss of one star in the overall rating, not least as I have no doubt that if not outgrown, this/these collar/s would have continued to be perfectly serviceable for many more months to come. Without doubt, the green collar of the two has taken the most abuse; subsequent and persistent training has possibly spared the pink...at least a little!Final Conclusion:-This product is well made, the materials used are up to the task and would likely serve a fully grown animal for a decent length of time. They wash well (have only hand washed) and dry fairly quickly (a rolled up towel helps to squeeze out excess water). I personally wouldn't choose to machine wash but I wouldn't lack confidence in doing so if I felt so inclined, although I may pop into a pillowcase or some such thing first.As mentioned from the outset, our pup has had two of these collars since the age of 8 weeks. She is now almost 8 months and the second collar has finally been outgrown. I would cheerfully purchase the next size up, however since puppy is the companion of our 20 year old daughter, she has decided that she wants something she considers to be 'more grown up and breed appropriate'. Hence the second of this range of collars is to be the last for this particular canine friend. 'Grown up' has already won the day!

it looks good and dog is happy with this

Perfect size for my shih tzu and not too heavy for her little neck.

very cute, well made and seems comfy for my puppy

My puppy is still quite small at the minute so the collar doesn't really fit. We did get the smallest size and so we anticipated it fitting but it didn't. First impressions it is a very cute pattern and colour scheme, it is also very durable and doesn't seem like it would snap or wear away easily. Despite the sizing issue, I feel like this product Is good value for money overall.

It's nice looking but it loosens itself, every day I have to make it smaller again. Cheap and cheerful I guess.

Collar width was much larger than expected

Easy to adjust and put on and take off.
