Seamus has had his black and white paw print snap collar (in rotation with others) for years! It's gone thru several washings and always comes out clean. It's very durable, not even fraying at all. I've never had a problem with the snap (knock on wood). It's actually the second collar we've had like this, both lasted quite some time. It does need to be resized every so often because it will stretch a tad from him pulling when he's on leash. It also faded, but keep in mind it's also been thru the washing machine several times!

Oh, I forgot to add that the paws are reflective! Nice bonus.

Pros: very durable, lasted a couple of years

Cons: fades a bit

We had a bunch of these donated to the shelter. They're really nice looking and very durable. We reuse collars at our shelter and these hold up well.

Pros: nice looking

Cons: none

this is a cute collar but it frayed very easily and id rather spend my money on something a bit better

Pros: cute

Cons: not super durable

We use a lot of these cute collars for our shelter dogs. They are also used in fundraising baskets.

Pros: paws are cute

Cons: none

this is nice when you want a unique design for your dog. i like different collars for the shelter so that it gives each dog a little something that reflects their personality a little bit

Pros: a unique design

Cons: n/a
