I thought this was newer than it is, since I hardly browse Ruffwear these days since I own practically everything they sell and new items seem to be really rare... but I figured I would post this, because I think it's buckle is very desirable for any husky owner! (We got it in red because Jarod says Koda is a stud in red.. I wanted to do green! But I think the purple is so pretty)



Definitely their priciest collar at $30 (though I got it for $24 with free shipping at an online store), but I really, really like how secure the buckle on this is. Some of you may remember about a year and a half ago, Koda's collar buckle snapped when I was leaving to take him to daycare before work, and I had to chase him 5+ miles down one of the busiest streets in Phoenix at 8AM.. Since then, Jarod and I have only taken Koda outside on a slip lead or harness. I like the idea of feeling more secure that the plastic just isn't going to snap or the little insert pull out of the hole. Though the buckle looks like it'd be heavy, all reviews have said it's not hard weight on their dog's neck, even those with little pups.


I ordered this collar yesterday along with the Knot-a-Leash (I believe it's about $24),

Obviously a locking carabiner is a lot sturdier than a plastic clip. Plastic as a whole just makes me very uncomfortable. We all know I am overly paranoid, but I really think there is no price on feeling more confident in my dog's collar's buckle or my dog's leash's clip breaking when we are outside the home.

Just figured I'd share incase anyone else has looked for a more secure collar (and leash)! Though the collar apparently is a few months old, haha .

Haha heather I figured u were gonna get it! I really want it for sierra since jack is walked with a pinch collar but untill the extra $ is around or the price drops under $20 we are waiting. Can't wait to hear ur review on it!
