Swap Low Tech Nylon for High Tech Features With These Cool Dog Collars of 2021

Dog collars don't have to mean boring anymore. New Dog collars mean cool dog collars!

Your dog needs a cool dog collar—and you may want to flaunt your own style. Plus, if safety is part of the package, this purchase is even better. Dog collars have greatly improved from the boring nylon dog collars of years ago. From personalization to embedded tracking capability, your dog's "necklace" not only makes her look good, but it just might save her life. Personalized dog collars, high quality dog harnesses, reflective dog collars, adjustable dog collars with quick release, embroidered dog collars with reflective stitching, and collars for all different sizes and dog breeds adorn the metaphorical shelves of Amazon these days, meaning your best friend won't be stuck with the standard collar of yore.

Don't settle for a run-of-the-mill collar for your sweet pup! Check out these picks for your pet and keep in mind that picking up more than one is often a good idea, especially for large dogs. Collars wear out (even on small dogs), get stained or might even get lost if your canine pal gets tangled while frolicking in nature. Bottom line: it's smart to have a backup collar on hand.
