I was having so much trouble finding a collar we liked for our new puppy until yesterday. (Puppy thread here: http://www.petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=104704 ) I had a list of things to buy for the pup, and a collar was the only remaining thing I had yet to buy.
I was worried about crating him with a collar on, because he could possibly get caught or hung up on it. However, I didn't know of any dog safety collars that could be used with a leash. As you can imagine the elastic and buckle breakaway designs used on cat safety collars would not be compatible with a leash. I also knew it was unrealistic to hope that my Dad would remove the pup's collar every time he crated him.
Yesterday when I was in the pet health food store (as I call it :p ) I came across an attractive collar with a genius safety design! I thought I would share it with PT in case others are also having trouble finding dog safety collars. This is the first one I have come across that can be used in conjunction with a leash. It also has a great size range and so is really quite economical for a growing pup. I personally think it was a steal for $9! :D
We got the sage color. :)

Look for pics of Kirk modeling his new collar sometime in the near future! :D
