Our first product review...

The following product my be found at the Dog Bark Collar Store.


A few weeks ago we were asked to do a product review on the Tough Hound -All Sports Dog Collar.  Now to be quite honest my girlz only wear collars when they are away from home, ie visits to the VET or while we are traveling.  They prefer the naked feeling!! After reviewing the product I decided to give this  collar a try.  I went with the Fall Orange colored collar. The reason being, the girlz do wear Blaze orange vests during the hunting season and I figured that this collar would just add to Schatzie's visibility in the field.
  

 You are able to choose from 8 different colors....Black, Brown, Red, Yellow, Neon Green, Pink, Blue and Fall Orange as you see here.  You can have it personalized with 4 lines and 13 different fonts...As you can see I had them laser etch  Schatzie, Please call my family and my #cell number (not shown :)

**note**

for your pet's sake please put a number that you will most likely be near in case of emergency. 

 Schatzie's collar is 22 inches long by 1 inch wide. I think I could have ordered a size smaller as we have it on the shortest hole and it's plenty big on Schatzie.  The collar is a buckle type. All seem to be heavy duty and made from quality material.

 Looks good on my girl

 She was in some brush and I could easily find her with the orange collar.

 Can you spot her???

The collar is made of a poly-coated nylon webbing that is non porous and is suppose to ward off any ugly odors--ie, a roll on a dead animal or possible skunk encounter. Fortunately, none of these things happened during our trial period. The collar is water resistant and is not suppose to fade. Clean up of the collar is with a wet rag. All good qualities in a collar :)

Pros:  Loved the orange color and will work well for us during hunting season for better visibility of the dog.
          The flat personalized name plate was a plus...no dangling tag ring to jingle or get caught on something.
          Collar does come in 3 widths...3/4, 5/8 and 1 inch and 8-24 inch lengths
          Comes in lots of colors.
           The hardware is stainless steel and should last a long time.

Cons: I would prefer a collar with the breakaway snap--not the buckle type.
          cost could be a factor as it is listed at $29.95 (but I guess that does include collar and " id tag")

Overall I found this product to be made of quality materials and it would do the job for making my girlz visible in the field  (with the fall orange collar) So, if you have this type of need I would recommend this collar.

The opinions given here concerning  this product are my own. I was compensated by receiving a Hound Tough Collar in exchange for an honest review of the product.
