The what ifs are always going to be there breakaway collars are safer but will also fall off.

So we all choose our own risks.

Mine can't wear a harness all the time no matter what brand it will give her a rash and its just not comfortable. Callie also does not chew her collar so I leave it lose enough where if she got suck she could slide her head out if she wanted to. My mom tried harnesses on all the time with her beagles and they had major hair loss where the harness rubbed under the arms and on one of them it never grew back.

I agree with both points. I used to exclusively use cat breakaway collars with Uni, until they started randomly falling off. What good is keepin the collar on while I"m away if they fall off all the time? This was only one breakaway collar in particular, but now I've changed my mind. Mine are old enough and trained to not mess with their collars. I prefer to have them wear them when I'm not around them (which is seldom).

However, whhen Uni was a puppy, she would sit there for hours gnawing on her tags. So for the OP, this fancy Gucci collar should only be for when you are watching her, and for special occasions or when company is over.

I would possibly put a smaller softer collar on him for every day wear and use the expensive collar when yall go places or have people over. If he is staying in a crate I would worry about his tags or collar getting stuck. Mine wears her collar all the time with her tags except bath time.

Exactly I was afraid it would be uncomfortable and bother the little guy but its all good

My friend has a collar like that, but it is a Coach- Same design and material.

She has a mix, Yorkie/Pomeranian. She has his collar on all the time, when I see him and he has it on he looks comfortable in it, doesn't seem to bother him at all, Like the Buddy Belt it tends to form to the body, at first it is kinda stiff, but once on a lot it gets to be really comfy and soft.

However your baby is only 5 months old, I know with Peanut he would grow out of his collars- I would maybe find something cheaper to get him and then once he is done growing get something you will have for a while!!
