What do We Keep in Mind While Buying the Best Dog Collar?
We didn't cover shocks, prongs, or e-collars, but we did look at other types of training collars. You won't find any flea and tick collars in this guide, as they have different quality standards.
Most of the collars in our guide are "flat collar" in the standard style. You will also get a GPS tracker, slip collar and head collar among the options. We developed standards for measuring the four top components to buy dog collar when researching this guide:
- Comfort
- Durability
- Safety
- Quality
Here's our Choices in Detail
Comfort
It is never acceptable to rub, jiggle or pinch the collar. That's why we avoided hard plastic or metal collars in favor of flexible, hypoallergenic materials such as leather, nylon, and neoprene.
Durability
The best dog collars can withstand daily walks, rainy days, and play dates at the dog park. We looked for signs of strength in the manufacturer's stated materials, from hardware to webbing.
The collar should have included the manufacture description and, ideally, the warranty to be included in the list. A dog collar should not smell or stain easily. As a result, our list only includes collars that can be machine washed or easily removed with a soft cloth.
Safety
According to Hazardous Research, some low-cost dog products, such as toys, balls and bedding, contain high levels of potentially toxic chemicals. Unfortunately, when products come from large distributors or unknown brands that only sell through large e-retailers.
It can be difficult to learn how they are made or tested. That's why all the callers in our guide come from companies that are transparent about their ingredients and, in the best cases, their sourcing.
Quality
Every dog collar on our list is made by a company that makes it clear where their products are made and how they stand behind their products' quality.
We looked for company websites that provide clear information about their manufacturing facilities and quality control processes. Had we not received this information, we would have removed the caller from the lineup.
