Product Review! Dogids great collar!
Yes Blogville, we the DWM have a post for you today! (WHN has been taking her medicine every day and is feeling better- so much so that she will be in her sewing room to make the placemats for the winners of Sallie's auction and the quilt for Ginger Jasper, starting tomorrow!! We are happy that she is getting better, and that is shows!)
Several months ago, WHN received an email asking if she would review a new dog collar for us and she agreed to do so- She placed the order online as instructed and when the collar arrived, she was blown away- she loved the collar and it was so much nicer than the website illustrations! WHN had been asked to review the ToughHound All Sports Collar made by Dogids. She dithered as usual, having to choose which one of us would be her model and Chip won the coin toss! WHN ordered the collar in a size 12, after carefully measuring Chip's neck, and chose the bright yellow to match his Hug a Dog harness. What is great about the collar is that the id tag is part of the collar, so Chip does not have to wear a tag with his name and phone number on it. The tag includes four lines for the name and contact info, so there will be one less tag on the collar itself to get caught while we are rough housing! Considering we are dachsies, this also takes weight off of our necks! The metal tag does not add any weight to the collar and is scratchproof! The collar itself is odor and water proof and easy to keep clean- just a simple wipe down every week during our bath routine. The only downside for WHN is the cost- it is $29.99 per collar. Since all three of us suffer from skin issues of some kind or another, this collar is fabulous- NO HAIR LOSS due to the collar!!! (Snoopy has lost almost all of his chest hair in front due to irritation from his current collar and tags- guess
what he is getting next month!)
This collar is perfect for the DWM- wears well and is easy to keep clean. We give it five paws up and Tasha and Snoopy will be getting theirs as soon as the taxes are done!)
