Product Review: Snaps Collars

Here’s a cool idea for a customizable, changeable pet collar. It’s called SNAPS (TM). It’s a collar and interchangeable snap system with tons of fun snaps to add, combine and switch out whenever you like. (Sorry for the red dog hair on the black collar in the photo. I actually do test these products on my own dogs.)

24 themes, five designs each, ranging from holidays to causes, regional to animals, bugs to flowers. They come in sets of 10 (two each of five designs) and the collars have 10 solid brass, nickel-plated snap studs on them. The great thing is that you can buy the snaps individually, so you can choose two from this group and one from that group. You could put together a sort of charm bracelet of your dog’s favorite thin

The collars come in two options: leather or nylon. Nylon collars are available in black, red or pink; leather collars are black. They come in four sizes to fit necks 8? to 22?. gs by cherry-picking which snaps you like. With over a hundred designs, ou’ll find plenty of choices. All snaps fit any size collar.

The snap ornaments are silk screen painted brass, which holds up very well to chipping and scratching. They have a high tension socket for a secure fit. They need firm pressure to put them on, and I found my fingers fatiguing after I had put a few on. But then I used the heel of my hand and they went on quite easily. I don’t mind pushing hard though; I don’t want them to fall off while my dog is scratching her neck at the dog park. Nor would I want one dog to be able to chew them off the collar of the other dog when they’re playing. These snaps are REALLY on there!

SNAPS (TM) features a unique way to create the perfect fashion accessory to highlight your dog’s personality and charm, to to give him/her a a distinctive style for the holidays. There’s even a birthday collection!

This is such a clever idea! I used to have a different collar for Christmas, summer, Easter, St. Patrick’s Day (I have an Irish Setter), and Halloween. Now, all I have to do is swap out the ornaments for a totally new look. It’s a snap!

Product Name: Snaps

Cost: Leather collars with 10 studs, $14.99 – 17.99 each, nylon collars with 10 studs, $12.99 – $14.99 each. Ornamental snaps: .90 each or $8.99 for a set of 10.

Max & Coco Collars and Leashes Product Review

Max & Coco is a small company located in Miami that makes exceptional dog collars and leashes. They only make collars and leashes. As Henry Ford once said, “Do one thing and do it well.” This company does it well.

Their collars ($26) are made from stout cotton rope, supple leather and heavy brass hardware. Currently, one size is available in three colors. The size fits necks 19-22 inches around, so it’s appropriate for medium and large dogs. Each of the color combinations has a matching 7-foot leash available ($44). The three colors available are:

Mushroom rope with black leatherMustard rope with chocolate leatherChocolate rope with buckskin leather

The collar sent to me for review is a mushroom/black collar. The hardware is similar to hardware I’ve sen on horse halters – heavy, shiny, handsome. The heft of it tells me that it will last at least as long as the dog will. The rope is surprisingly lightweight and soft. It has great “hand” (the weight and suppleness of the rope in one’s hand) and the weaving is tight. Where the rope joins the leather, the stitching is tight, small and even, which shows me that the workmanship is good. I see not a single loose thread.

The leather is a nice quality leather. It “gives” a little, so it’s not stiff. But it’s not flimsy, either. Flimsy, floppy leather will break at the stress points (the point where it’s buckled). This leather has held up well, even at the stress point.

Here’s how to tell the quality of leather. Hold the leather in both hands, with the “rough” side (the suede side) pointing away from you. Gently bend the leather so that your hands come toward each other, and watch the surface of the leather. If you begin to see cracks, it’s cheap leather. Or at least, the tanning process has broken down the fibers. If what you see begins to resemble the skin of an orange, you have a quality piece of leather.

This leather, while not top of the line (and why would you want it to be for a dog collar?), is a good quality leather that shows the “orange skin” and has finished edges. The smart folks at Max & Coco have put the rough side out and the smooth side in, toward the dog’s neck. Usually, dog collar manufacturers like for the smooth side to show, so they put the rough side in. I think that’s a mistake. Placing the rough side in means that dirt will stick to the sueded leather more than the smooth side. Also, when your dog gets wet, the collar will dry faster if the suede isn’t trapping moisture against the dog’s coat. 

This collar will not hang heavy around your dog’s neck. For those with a dog who has a full coat, such as a collie, I don’t think this collar will mar the coat, because it’s lightweight, yet well constructed.

A beautiful piece of dog equipment, well made, with old-school quality.
