Collars with Color Review and Giveaway Brining Home Puppy Event



It’s official time to kick off our special Brining Home Puppy Event that is going to be filled with fun reviews and giveaway all thru the month of August to welcome home our newest family member Cash our Boxer pup!

As you all know it’s very important to have a collar and leash for your pets, so when we brought home our precious new pup Cash we immediately started looking for the perfect collar and leash for him. Now I’m one of those people that likes for their pets to have different collars for different holidays and such because I feel like they are just as much a member of the family and anyone else and we all change clothes right? When we ran across Collars with Color we were immediately drawn to their hemp collars and just had to check them out.

Our Thoughts:

We were lucky enough to be able to choose a collar and leash set from Collars with Color for our new family member Cash, and believe me with all the choices it took us a while to finally settle and agree on the one we wanted!

We ended up choosing the Wag Like an Egyptian hemp dog collar and matching leash and we could not be happier with the set! We received it lightning fast after we requested it.

The collar itself was quite stiff when we got it but that was because of the hemp and over time will relax and couture itself to Cash’s neck. We got the small collar but had to size it down to it’s smallest right now due to him being so young but it will be more than big enough for him when he is completely full grown and he is growing very, very fast he is almost twice the size he was when we got him.

We are in the process of training him to walk with us while on a leash and he is doing wonderfully and the leash we were sent along with the collar is perfect it gives him enough room to explore while we are walking but also keeps him close enough that we can wrangle him in when we need to.

I want to take a second to show you a couple of my other favorites from their shop.

I really like this Camo collar and leash combo

I also would love to have this Give Peace A Chance hemp dog collar if I had a little girl doggy!


Bottom Line:

We are extremely happy with the quality and look of this leash and collar set we got for Cash and will defiantly be going back to Collars with Color for any of our future collar and leash needs! They not only offer wonderful collars and leashes but they have something for every cat/dog person personality so your sure to find the perfect combo for your pet.

I feel you get both a fair price and a wonderful quality product when you order from Collars with Color and recommend you go check them out.
