When we were looking for a collar for Beau (who was a 60 pound puppy at the time), we had a hard time finding one that was big enough for his large neck and strong enough for when he pulled. We found one of these and have never changed back. It has a strong buckle and is still holding up to Beau's strong physique.

Pros: Variety of colors; tough and durable

Cons: n/a

Sturdy, decent selection of colors. I throw it in the wash when it gets icky. Easy to affix the tags. Thick so it doesn't cut into my dog's neck.

Pros: Bought mine at a pet shop but have seen them at some of the larger dept stores - Walmart, Target

Cons: Can't always find the size I needed.

Aspen collars are good quality. I like the fact that this one is adjustable. Come in a variety of colors.

Pros: Good quality, reliable brand

Cons: None

I went searching for a comfortable and durable collar for my 2 dogs, one of which has dry skin problems. I found a different collar by the same brand that works so much better! The Aspen Pet Comfort Cushion Collar actually works much better and there has been much less scratching on Max's part.

Pros: good brand

Cons: they don't seem comfortable

My Reesa is wearing an Aspen collar right now that she's had for about 2 years. It is strong and long-lasting. The only drawback is that the rubber ends rip a little but this doesn't seem to affect the holding power of the collar.

Pros: strong, durable, great color selection

Cons: rubber pieces break
