| Chewer friendly collars? For ID purposes only of course! I'm looking for recommendations of a good collar to use for a doggy that has a history of chewing through a collar. Normally I'd recommend the breakaway, or a BB collar, but the BB is kind of pricey and would be a waste if chewed through. And with the breakaway I'm afraid the pup will learn to pull it off. You all know how smart and sneaky these babies are. anyway, any recommendations?

| I finally invested in Lupine collars and leashes for my Wheaten terrier, but by then she grew out of her chewing habit! (they are guaranteed "even if chewed"- lupinepet.com) |

| If he can get his mouth on it to chew it then it is probably too loose.

| I got this collar for Bella: Personalized Dog Collars / Personalized Side-Release Buckle Dog Collar -- Orvis I got it in pink with black embroidery for her name and my phone number, and an extra-small fits her tiny neck well. I've had it for several months, and it looks as new as the day I bought it. |

| Tokipoki was telling good things about Lupine & their lifetime guarantee. That seems like it would be a winner. And just for the record, I really do support wearing collars for ID purposes - especially during the summer months. Not everyone knows about microchips. There are 3 lost toy dogs in my neighborhood right now!! I can't even imagine how devastated I would be if one of mine got away. We're just off a busy street with buses that go into NYC too. Even though I have a secure backyard, I'm crazy dog lady watching them like a hawk everytime they're back there. I even double check that their leash is securely attached to their harnesses before walks. I know I'm kinda over the top about it & my husband gets annoyed. But I'd much rather be safe than sorry.

| The Lupine and Orvis collars look very similar and both are made of nylon with heavy duty construction. What I like about the Orvis collars is that you can have them personalized with ID information embroidered onto them. Bella doesn't tolerate tags hanging from her collar--she chews holes in the metal tags and I worry about them wearing down her teeth. |

| I am the same and I annoy my father. When we are getting out of the car at the park, I take my time hooking up leashes and checking that they are secure.

| You know, once Momo's harness got detached from her leash & I nearly had a heart attack. She was only 2 feet in front of me, but I started screaming like a crazy lady. Poor thing...I scared her to death. I bought a new leash after that because I would seriously have a breakdown if I let any of them get away.

| I'm sorry but I'm just curious... How are they able to chew the collar? Do they chew each others? |

| Are you asking me? I wouldn't know. Someone asked me if I knew of a collar that was good for chewers. My pup doesn't chew his things. Just thought I'd ask YT since I'm sure someone here would have a recommendation. I was right.
