Stylish, Environmentally Responsible Collar

[BG and Gavin]

Have to share this new collar I got for Gavin.  It is made from recycled bicycle inner tubes.  It is lightweight, but has very nice metal hardware.  The buckle is like an airplane seatbelt buckle and the ring that you clip your leash to, doubles as a bottle opener.  It is fast drying, mold resistant and does not get smelly. It is made by a company called Cycle Dog.  It is a small business started by a woman in Portland Oregon. I love the fact that they are recycling material that would otherwise go to the landfill.   Adina, maybe they would be interested in participating in one of the DK giveaways?  Here is the link:  http://cycledog.com/

And here is Gavin's collar:

If you look at the pic, it is the narrow end that lifts to release.

Do you feel that the material would be hot for them? It looks perfect for my swimmer tho.

That is stylish!  If Ned and Clancy didn't mat so much at the collar line, I would be interested in two!

[Sue, Murphy and Bella ()*o*()]

That's another consideration Nancy, is the matting. This color looks very stylish tho.

[BG and Gavin]

I wonder about the matting. Gav is not a matter, so I cannot speak to it. Because the inside part is so smooth maybe there is less chance of matting??

[Nancy, Ned, Clancy, and Charlie]

Ned and even Clancy need really smooth collars - either rolled leather or water collars that are pretty slick.  This one is very cool for those that don't mat in the collar area.
