"Honey ate the snap together part of the collar one day and I didn't find out until it came undone in the middle of a parking lot. Fortunately, she ran over to some little kids and we were still in front of the groomer's place so I had to buy a new collar right then and there. The replacement collar I ordered looks much larger than the first one (could be I got the wrong size) but it's difficult to adjust and unless you have a well trained pup (good for you!) it's a risky method of fasting the collar on. However, when she was a baby and not so clever, she got TONS of compliments on it (and it helped people to know she was a girl since she didn't act like one...)"
