Ashlie C: I love the look and quality of the leather and it just happened to be on sale! I ordered the 5/8 W by 12 inch neck length for my miniature dachshund. She's never had such a fancy collar, but I've noticed the loop on her ID tag getting caught on blankets lately and it just isn't safe. I can't wait to receive this collar in the mail! ThanksMar 29, 2013

Anna K: They look well made and I like how the name tag is attached to the color.Feb 7, 2013
Donna P: have one on other dog n love itAug 16, 2012

Rose D: I purchased a collar from them some time ago and the quality is far above what you can get in pet shops and chain stores. I saw the discount for them on GMA and I was happily surprised. I shouldn't be surprised as I lived in the Fargo area many years ago and there is a lot of hard working creative people there. "A bit tougher than many areas in the US. Just try out one of those northern Minnesota & North Dakota winter winds and snow. Good People.May 29, 2012
Sheryl M: I choose this collar because it is very strong, able to "hold" my 44 lbs Terrier while learning not to pull. Strenght has remained through all types of weather and does not smell or cause my dog to itch. Because the information is part of the collar, I don't worry about the personalized plate falling off the collar. And best of all, it is American made!May 25, 2012
Marcia B: was a very nice collar till I got my other standard poodle, he chewed the end of the collar OFF the other standard....couldnt be adjusted anymore. GrrrrrMay 10, 2012
Noreen L: This dog collar is a good looking collar with the pets information visible and will not get caught on anything while the ID dangles off the dogs collar. The great quality of leather will be long lasting and durable with our very active furry friend!May 1, 2012
Melissa N: My dog scratched his tags and made a LOT of noise outside of the baby's room. This collar is perfect for him.Apr 20, 2012

Leeanne P: i have a small dog perfect sizesFeb 23, 2012
Diane K: This is to replace a lost collar that we previously purchased. It is the est collar for our dog. She has the tendency to get out of a fenced it yard and take little walks. She is always returned safely due to people's abaility to call us so quickly. Great productFeb 20, 2012
Christina H: Prior purchase was too heavy...uncomfortable for the dog.Feb 17, 2012

Rikki W: i thought it looked nice and expensive but its really not. cant wait to get it :)Jan 31, 2012
Sheryl W: lifetime guarantee on tag. Sturdy collars for shepherdsJan 17, 2012
David M: ONLY tag solution that worked. Any hanging tag was always torn off while dog was in crate. All the plaque style ones that were metal would pop off a collar that was cloth when you grabbed it (because the metal wouldn't bent with the cloth....) and I did not care for the cloth collars with the info stitched on them. Best leather solution.Jan 14, 2012
Michelle W: I chose to order this after seeing the ScruffTag collar on the dogs of my friends. It's practical and better than the standard collar and tagJan 2, 2012
Kaleb A: MATCHING COLLARS FOR A NEW FRIEND!Dec 14, 2011
Gretchen K: Purchased the one in leather 6 months ago, great quality. The information tag still looks like the first day I received in the mail. My dogs love to hike and jump in the creek so a waterproof collar is a must. Also bought one for a Christmas gift for my brothers dog. The extra line also allows you to put the dogs license number so the shelter cannot euthanized.Dec 8, 2011
Stephanie F: I really liked the looks of the metal rivets in the leather.Dec 4, 2011
Angelica V: great looking collar & I had a discountNov 28, 2011

Tim W: The embedded name plate is what I wanted.Dec 7, 2010

PiPa P: I wanted a nice leather collar with attached ID tag for our newest edition to the familyNov 26, 2010
Lori M: I bought this collar as if my dog is lost I want to have a chance at getting him back!
I previously had a dog tag with our information listed. Buddy chewed on it when I wasn't looking and it the information become no longer legible. Currently he has no information!Nov 23, 2010
R I: I looked for months trying to find an easy to read, substantial, and not so cutesy tag for my dog's collar. Never found one, but was very excited to find this collar. It is very attractive and the quality is excellent. This looks great on my 83 lb lab mix. It was just what we wanted and a great value!!Nov 17, 2010
lillian P: seems to be a high quality worthwhile investment at a reasonable price - while very attractive and functional - will keep info safe and away from pet's teeth and chewing - will not need replacement due to damage from chewing and not make noise as do hanging tagsNov 5, 2010
Kendra M: i really care about my dog and he deserves this..i wouldnt want to lose him, it would be like losing family..and only 15pct of dogs are retrnd..this will show i really care..GREAT idea wit collarOct 26, 2010
Valeria M: Because I want my dog to wear a nice, elegant, simple collar.Oct 19, 2010
Debra B: Great idea to keep my dog safe and in case he gets lost.Sep 29, 2010
Pamend E: We can't have any type of id that hangs down as our other dog thinks it is a toy and pulls it off. Have had this collar for some time and it looks brand new.Sep 27, 2010
Laura L: I hate when I hear the jingle of a pet tag, this is a great alternative!Sep 15, 2010
Misty M: My dog went out to use the bathroom and didn't come home like usual. I went to look for him, and after about 2 hours I came home. I decided to go look for him again and found him down the street at a house. They didn't know who's dog he was, because he didn't have any identification on him. That's why I decided to buy this tag. Thanks for your help.Sep 9, 2010
Maureen J: Looks stylish and very helpful if dog is lostSep 8, 2010
JAMES G: nice quality,but bought the wrong size. the 12" is actually 16" longSep 7, 2010
Sandra L: I purchase this collar only two weeks ago in a 12 inch neck size. It was too big, however, I was so impressed with the beauty of the leather that I am not returning this collar but keeping it for the future. I ordered the smaller size with the matching leash. It is a great-looking, well made collar.Sep 2, 2010
Sandra L: I wanted a comfortable collar and natural leather seemed the obvious choice. I have been using a synthetic material collar which my pet constantly scratches. The nameplate is built in rather than a tag which hangs down. This helps my puppy not to be overwhelmed with the collar around his neck.Sep 2, 2010
Cassandra H: I purchased this item because i wanted a collar with an attached id tag. I did not want to hear the noise constantly when my dog walked hitting against his rabies tag. I also did not want the chance that my dog might get caught on something and choke. The price was good and the quality of the look online looked worth me trying it.The website was very easy to navigate and checkout was a breeze.Aug 1, 2010
Trischa B asked:Will this dog collar be sturdy enough to be used on a dog run? The last collar I bought from another website came in the mail with a little tag that said "Not for tie out".May 29, 2012
K N:Certainly it's "sturdy" enough for your intended use.
If I may editorialize a bit, all collars should come with the caveat, "not for tie out" due to the dangers of choking. I'd recommend a good, comfortable harness for the purpose you describe.
R I:I bought this collar for my sister-in-law's dog after I purchased a similar one for my dog, Avery. These are very durable, strong, well-made collars.May 30, 2012
Marion S asked:My dog's neck measurement is such that the buckle will NOT be placed in the middle hole of the collar. Because of this, will the weight of the buckle pull the ID tag off-center on the scruff of her neck?
(My dog has an 11-3/8" neck. I am considering the 5/8" x 10" length so there will not be much excess flapping leather.)Jan 30, 2012
Debra G:No. Even if it is on the last hole it should not pull the ID tag off center. The size I ordered for my 2 dogs based on my measurements both ended up being too big. My German Shepherd's collar is fastened on the last hole and her ID tag still stays centered on the back of her neck. The only time it is off-center is when we have her leash attached to it.
Just as a general recommendation, I would tend to buy on the small side based on my experience. This could be my faulty measuring, but they were a tad big on both of our dogs. Overall, these collars are great! We have had them for over a year and a half or so, and the leather still looks great and there is no sign of wear and tear even though our dogs play pretty rough. They are not indestructible, but as long as they stay on your dog's neck (rather than off the dog and used as a chew/tug-of-war toy) there should be no problems. Hope this helps!Feb 13, 2012
Jane B:These collars are beautiful. I bought one of the 1" x 22" ones (in 2 different colors) for each of my bloodhound/standard poodle mix dogs, which weigh 90 lbs. The buckle lies directly opposite the name plate when buckled on the middle hole of 5. The last hole (most distant from the buckle) is about 2" from the end of the collar. This collar is so well-constructed and heavy that the excess tab is not going to flap, so you should buy it to fit. In other words, my dog's necks are about 18" in diameter (accounting for some loose skin), so the middle hole is exactly situated for the best fit on these boys. BTW, the name plates are very nice, with deep engraving that should last the lifetime of the collar, and you have 5 lines to include lots of information.Feb 12, 2012
christy r:I bought this collar for my German Shepard puppy who was 6 months old at the time. She has grown and is now wearing the collar on the last hole. The ID is still on the back of her neck. The collar is great and does not rattle. The engraving is also good because it still shows up just as good as when we received it. This is the only dog collar I will ever buy!! Love itFeb 13, 2012
Debra G:Both of my dogs are big dogs, so I can't speak to which size a small dog may need, but I do have one piece of advice. Make sure you account for any extra skin your dog may have. Our german shepherd has some extra loose skin around her neck, and I did not pull the tape measure tight and the collar was a bit too big. We had to drill another hole. There are instructions on the site that tell you how to measure. Those worked perfectly for our other dog. Overall, these collars are great! Fewer tags to jingle around.Jul 17, 2011
Pam G:My suggestion would be the 3/4" x14". My reasoning is that I bought the 3/4" x 16" for my young Flatcoated Retriever and he has more than enough length, There are five holes and we have three to spare, The collar is generously sized, bridle leather is as good as it gets and as it ages and accumulates oil from your hands it gets as soft as melted butter and stretches just a tad.Jul 16, 2011
Debra B:Probably a small. My dog is a terrier, about 23 pounds. I got the medium for him. They are adjustable. I would measure around his neck to be sure. The sizes with the descriptions are pretty accurate. Hope this helps.Jul 17, 2011
How did you find these folks and can you please share re. delivery times. I have puppies that we're just now allowing out of the house. They were winter babies.Apr 15, 2011
Stephanie M:Greetings! I've been nothing but hugely happy with this company .. I recommend them to everyone of my fellow dog owners! If I remember correctly, shipping was fast. I constantly get compliments on my dogs collar .. everyone loves the built in name plate and it's large enough I got his name, our name, 2 cell phone numbers and our city and state.
I highly recommend!! Enjoy your puppies :)Apr 17, 2011
Debra B:Robert - These are great collars. I have an enormous sense of security with my dog wearing the collar should he get lost. He loves the collar too. I received the collar in about a week and a half. Not bad considering they are personalized. I would recomment them. My dog has two.Apr 15, 2011
George E asked:Am thinking of buying this for my dog because I don't like the noise that hanging tags make. But I'm wondering if anyone has had any trouble with abrasion of the metal against the neck or of fur getting pulled where the metal joins the leather? Thanks for the advice!Nov 12, 2010
Michelle B:Actually, having received my collars, I'm a bit concerned about the thinness of the plate. I should have asked, of course, about the thickness of the metal tag. It's the same material/thickness as traditional, hanging tags. I'm going to keep an eye on how it fits my 45-lb Vizsla, since she has very short hair and no undercoat. When the collar is attached to a leash, the tag will be over her throat, and yes...there is the concern of the thin, rigid edge causing damage or discomfort. However, I bought the collar primarily for her trips to the dog park, where her tags have been pulled by other dogs. So it might be a wash.
I wish the site would actually post the thickness of the plate here. I HAVE seen collars with thicker plates, ie. the thickness of a wristwatch. This is what I'd imagined I was buying, but of course I didn't ask.Mar 11, 2011
Clint HStaff:
Hi Michelle, Thanks for the great feedback! The plate is .040" thick which is actually thicker than most stainless pet tags on the market and very tough. We believe they are plenty thick to hold up to the rowdiest of dogs but not too thick so customers can bend them to put a little curve in them if they want to without too much effort (recommend using pliers to do this unless you have very strong hands). Good suggestion on putting the thickness of the plate on the website. We will do so.
Mar 16, 2011
Debra G:I bought these collars for my husky and german shepherd. They have fairly thick fur, so there has been no trouble with abrasions. The metal plate sits at the back of the neck if there is no leash attached, so there is not too much risk of it pulling the fur either. I love these collars so far and have had no trouble with them. They are great because if you look down at the dog the metal plate is often the first thing that you see, making it easy for people to see the information if your dog ever gets out. The only recommendation I have is to make sure you get a good measurement of your dog's neck before ordering. Both of the collars I got were too big fastened on the middle hole and one needs to have a new hole put in it. Other than that, great collars.Nov 16, 2010
I'm thinking about getting one of these for our Norwegian Buhund, but wondered how well they hold up in water as he likes to swim. Do they hold up in water or would I need to take it off him?
Robin H:my two labs are in the water all the time. i find that if you condition the leather there is no problem. the collars are so beautiful and well made that it is worth the few minutes of effort to keep them looking that way. the alternative is to buy this collar for everyday use. another one for sunday best and then a nylon one for when they're in the water...no matter which way you go, you can't go wrong with a collar from dogid.Jul 20, 2011
Clint HStaff:The leather is top quality and very durable. Our dogs swim with these collars quite a bit and though the leather is very high quality, I recommend to use leather conditioner on the leather if your dog is swimming a lot. This will help the collar resist losing its shape as the leather expands and contracts as it absorbs water and dries repeatedly.Dec 8, 2010
Clint HStaff:It is best to measure your dog's neck and order the appropriate size. You can use our sizing instructions for the best fit. Click the following link for the instructions: http://www.dogids.com/leathersizing.htmlJul 15, 2012
Debra G:I followed the instructions on the site. One fit just right and the other is a bit big - I would just make sure you take any loose skin into account.Jul 16, 2012
S A:This is a strong collar and good looking; therefore, I do not think you can punch holes in it. It is very thick and high quality. Not knowing the size of your dogs this collar was small (if the same size I purchased) it was comfortable on my ankle (it was a gift used my ankle to guesstimate the size) on the tightest notch. Seems to me it would work for a dachshund though not entirely sure. Good luck!Jul 7, 2011
In answer too your question the collars have held up very well one is being worn by a doberman shepherd mix tho other by a sharpei lab mix yes you can punch holes in but it takes a heavy tool lettering is still legible after many walksJul 7, 2011
R O:They offer instructions for how to measure on their site. I copied some important details for you and I hope it's of help. I myself used the current collar method and I found it to be accurate. As well I am pleased with the collar. Good luck....
Here are a few different methods for measuring your dog's neck: Measure your dog's neck with a sewing tape while keeping two fingers between his skin and the tape. OR... Wrap a string around your dogs neck with two fingers between his skin and the string. Mark the string and then measure the length of it. OR... Remove your dog's current collar and stretch it out flat. Then measure from the center of the buckle to the current sizing hole being used.Jun 3, 2011
M K:Measure the dogs neck there are 5 adjustment holes so from center hole to center of buckle is the dog's neck size and then there would be 2 inches for adjustments on either size of the center hole. The size of the dog's neck is the size collar you need with the dog ID size system.Jun 4, 2011
A shopper asked:I bought this collar a couple years ago and it is getting stinky. I have cleaned it but I think I should get a new one. Can I send in the collar and just get the collar replaced, while keeping the nameplate?Oct 30, 2012
Chuck BStaff:Since the collars come assembled with the plates, and we are now laser engraving the name plates, I would recommend just ordering a new collar. Chuck B. StaffOct 31, 2012
A shopper asked:i have a German short hair which needless to say has short hair and I was wondering if the metal tag if the metal tag would irritate his shin?Sep 11, 2012
Cheryl M:First of all these collars are absolutely beautiful. Second, dogids is a wonderful company and very responsive to your needs and questions so if something were to be a problem with the metal I'm sure they would help you out. To answer your question about the metal on skin: the metal they use is very good quality stainless steel so I doubt it would cause any irritation. I haven't noticed any issues with my dogs but they are pretty well furred :) - German shepherd and Australian cattle dog/ lab mix. If other collars don't bother your dog I doubt this will.Sep 11, 2012
M M:I'm sorry I don't know the answer. I have a German shepherd. But I can tell you I love the collar and the matching leash I also purchased. And by the way the ID has helped my dog return home safely more times than I'd like to admit. I highly recommend this collar to anyone with a dog!!!
Chuck BStaff:The collars have 5 holes punched in the strap. For example a 20 inch collar would be 20 inches in the 3rd hole, which means it would go down to an 18 and up to a 22 inch collar. We like to be fairly close so the scruff tag rides at the top of the neck. Measure the dog's neck with a sewing tape or string, and place 2 fingers under the tape to give it a bit of room, then measure the string to get the size collar you need. Chuck B. StaffOct 31, 2011
Clint HStaff:Probably not. We are in the process of developing our small dog sizes for this product line. The leather will be skived down thinner and the width of the leather, nameplate and hardware will be 5/8" so much lighter and more comfortable for smaller dogs. We should have these sizes available in November.Oct 9, 2011
Clint HStaff:If you only use 2 or 3 lines, we will automatically increase the size of the text and center the text horizontally and vertically.Sep 29, 2011
Clint HStaff:Yes, we just ask that you ship it back to us and we will replace the nameplate if you need your contact information changed. We charge $4.00 to switch out the nameplates plus shipping.Sep 29, 2011
A shopper asked:I am not sure what size collar I will need for my golden retriever.....he is a puppy now but I want to purchase the collar for when he is an adult?Jul 7, 2011
Dustin H:I actually have a very big golden retriever, around 90lbs, and he fills up an 18" collar in this style. The way our sizing works is an 18" collar fits a neck 16"-20", so If you think your pup is going grow to be an average sized golden, then I think a 16" would work just fine for you. If he has some big paws and you think he'll be above average then I'd look at our 18" sizing. Hope that helps:) Thanks!Jul 7, 2011
Chuck BStaff:For example a 20 inch collar weighs in at 4.7 oz. The larger collars will weigh a bit more and smaller collars a bit less. If you have an exact size I can give you a weight on a specific collar. Chuck B. StaffApr 27, 2011
