Top 5 Dog Collars in 2021

 The Ultimate Guide To 2021’s Best Dog Collars

Dog collars are worn almost all the time, so it’s important that your dog is comfortable while wearing theirs. Also, while it’s not essential, many dog parents like to ensure that they also pick out cool dog collars for their furry friends.

The primary function of a collar is not to walk your dog but to keep them safe. In an emergency situation, the ID tags on your dog's collar are the quickest and easiest way for someone to get your dog back to you.

A dog collar may seem like a simple purchase – but if you’re obsessed with your dog, you know that’s not true. This essential part of your dog’s wardrobe takes some serious thought. Your dog sports their collar 24/7! Style is definitely a factor, but so are comfort and durability. We consulted experts and read hundreds of reviews to round up the very best dog collars available today.

•  Lupine Pet Eco Dog Collar

The Lupine Pet Eco Dog Collar is constructed with premium hardware and the custom-designed buckle made by YKK, the world's largest zipper manufacturer, remains easy to buckle and unbuckle over time. The welded steel D-ring for holding tags, and clipping a leash if needed, is sewn firmly into the material. The collar comes with a lifetime guarantee, but chances are you won't need it unless your dog turns it into a chew toy.

• Lucky Love Dog Collars

Lucky Love Dog specializes in designing unique, vivid, and stylish patterns that say…I LOVE my dog!l! From teacups to giant breeds, boy dogs or girl dogs, they have a special collar pattern that will reflect your pet’s unique personality. And the best part? A portion of each purchase helps save a shelter dog in need.

•  Blueberry Pet Classic Nylon Dog Collar

If all you need is a basic, attractive collar that will hold up to everyday wear, the Blueberry Pet Classic Nylon Dog Collar fits the bill. Blueberry's Classic Collar is made from durable nylon with high-density webbing, strong buckles made of eco-friendly plastic, and a metal D-ring coated in chrome. 

Though it won't last forever the way our top pick will, this is a well-constructed collar. The company claims they've done over 600 laboratory tests to ensure the quality of their collars, and I haven't found mine to stretch out over time, though some people have experienced fraying over time.

• Perri's Padded Leather Dog Collar

Leather collars offer a level of durability that nylon can't provide. A good leather collar just gets softer and more supple with use. As long as your dog doesn't turn it into a chew toy, a well-made one like Perri's Padded Leather Dog Collars could last a pretty long time.

Perri's leather collars are handmade by Amish craftspeople and lined with lambskin padding. I love that they look like luxury items, without the price tag. Even with extra padding, the collar doesn't feel overly stiff, which is always a concern with leather products.

• Orvis Personalized Dog Collar

The Orvis personalized collar is a gold standard among basic dog collars because it prioritizes safety and durability. It’s got a lifetime guarantee and boasts non-fade nylon that’s easy to clean.

 Choose from a variety of colors and put your dog’s name and your phone number right on the collar. It saves the need for separate dog tags. Easy-peasy.
