Giving Your Pet Some Bling! Fancy Schmancy Collars for Cats and Dogs

Cats and dogs come in all shapes, colours and sizes. So do their collars. Many collars nowadays are made of elastic and/or nylon, allowing the collars to move with the animals, with safety elements designed so that the collar can come off if the wearer gets caught in something.

Make sure the collar fits your pet well. It should not be too loose, to the point of falling off with a simple shake of the animal's head. The collar should not be too snug either. The animal should be able to breathe freely without being bothered by the tightness nor the weight of the collar.

Now you know how a collar should fit - but what about how it should look? They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some pet owners want their beloved friends to be decked out in collars which sparkle and dazzle. That is why there are now 24k collars now available for dogs, cats and favorite pets.

This is the internet age. You can log online and order pet collars specifically made for your pet. Measure your pet's neck accurately, because not only should it fit properly - see above! - but because the price can range depending on the length and width of the collar. Some sites and shops charge by the inch.
