blue and red dog collar with flower printBlueberry Collars

Collars with quick release clips are my favorite for safety! Blueberry brings the cute factor with different patterns and collars. Having multiple collars on hand makes it easy to wash one while your dog still has important ID info on for walks or outings.

QALO Silicone Dog Tags

I’m a huge fan of silicone tags from QALO for two reasons:

Safety – if your dog’s tag slides into a floor AC vent or awkwardly through the bottom pieces of a crate, a metal tag can cause them to be stuck. Silicone tags will bend, making it easier for your dog to get out of this situation without help.

Once upon a time with his metal tags, this meant a lot of clinking and sharp noises right next to his ears! How miserable! He still shakes off, but it’s a much more quiet experience for him now which makes us all happy.
