So to all the toy breed owners around here...
Just want to say I have a new appreciation for how hard it is for you guys to find well-made, inexpensive, lightweight gear for your dogs.
I went to Petsmart last night trying to pick up a reasonably cheap 3/8" collar for the little man, who currently weighs about 9lbs. Just to wear around the house and get him used to the idea...he wears a harness when on lead.
Twenty minutes later I left empty-handed.
On the vast majority, the plastic snap was terrible. Either very hard to open or to close, or both. On the few remaining, either the triglide was poorly designed or the material was too thick, proportionally, which made the collar have sharp corners instead of being round. A good quarter of them were bedazzled, pink, or pastel. And even the worst of them with the nonfunctional buckles started at $10.
Not looking for solutions...he does just barely fit an old black 1/2" collar I have on the smallest possible fitting. Just really surprised me to see how hard it was to find something usable.
You all have my sympathy.
