Custom Dog Collars Identify Your Pet

By Louise Dean


All domesticated breeds of dog have been said to be man's best friend. There is no animal on earth that shows more loyalty and can give more companionship. They come to be a loved member of the family and as such the owner will do many things to protect his dog. One of them is in the purchase of a custom reflective dog collar.

When you first make the decision to purchase a dog, there a few state guidelines you must follow. States require that dogs be licensed as proof that they have been vaccinated against things like rabies, which is a horribly deadly malady. Many areas also have leash laws. Still, no matter what you do, even the best trained animals have been known to get away from you. A neighborhood cat could entice a dog beyond its normal limits, and in a flash they can be gone.

Most pet stores carry and have a wide selection of leather collars. The variety in colors and sizes is ever expanding and you are sure to find one to your liking that will also fit the personality of your dog. When looking for strength and durability the best choice is genuine leather versus man made. From the St. Bernard to the teacup poodle, you will find a size that is right for your pet.

Genuine leather is best suited to large dogs. The amount of strength exerted when they run and play can produce havoc on a collar that is shoddily made. One of the best things to be done to these units is the addition of reflective material. What a lifesaver this can be if your pet were to become lost during the evening or the night. A motor vehicle driver is so much more apt to spot your animal when he is wearing a strip of reflective material and save both of them from a terrible mishap.

Custom collars can do much more than offer reflection safety for your dog. Pet store owners can offer a them made for your animal in particular. Your name and address as the owners along with the dogs name and any special needs he may have, can all be embossed on his collar. Don't let your pet end up in a shelter when the lost animal can easily be returned to you.

Always check every iota of information that you are requesting be put on your dogs collar. Check it again on the finished product. Do not accept it unless it is exactly as you requested. Any errors can result in your pet being away from you for a longer period of time and this can be emotionally traumatic for the both of you.

When ordering your dog's neckband be sure and keep a few things in mind. Your best choice is always real leather no matter how much man made leather is now bragged about. Any information that is to be put on the collar should be double checked for accuracy. This needs to be done when it is ordered and again when the completed item is in your hand. A matter of your address being listed as a street rather than an avenue can extend the traumatic time you are separated from your pet.

When it comes to the safety of your beloved animal, no one should hesitate in ordering a custom reflective dog collar. Choose one that suits your animal in color and size. These durable collars will last forever and are worth every penny that you pay for them. It could even save the life of your pet.
