A Spiked Dog Collar For All Occasions

There is a huge choice of spiked Dog collars available to us. From collars with large spikes to collars with small studs, whatever style we are looking for there is something suitable to all tastes. Many spiked Dog collars are bought for occasional wear by the Dog. They are to be worn only now and then, maybe just for outings or when we really want our pooch to look good. Quite often this is because it was a fairly expensive item and we don't want it to get ruined. However, it can also be because the Dog spike collar that we have purchased is just not comfortable enough to be worn for extended periods of time. This is probably because the spikes are too large or the actual collar is too thick.

Choosing a suitable spiked collar means that our Dog may be able to wear it whatever the occasion and for much longer periods of time. If you want to let your Dog keep its spiked collar on for much of the day then you need to make sure of a few things beforehand.

Ensure that the collar is not too fat. If it is too wide on your Dogs neck then it will be uncomfortable and may hinder your Dogs natural movements. Get a collar that is fairly slimline and your Dog will be happy wearing it for much longer periods of time.

Don't purchase a spiked Dog collar with large spikes. If you want to keep the spiked collar on your Dog for any length of time then the spikes must be small. Large spikes can catch on the Dogs paws when it scratches so make sure they are small. This will ensure the collar is safe for your Dog.

Make sure the leather is fairly soft. Some collars can be made from fairly hard leather. This is not comfortable for the Dog. Get a fairly soft leather collar and the Dog will happily wear it all day. You want it to be as comfortable as possible if your Dog is going to be looking good in its collar for extended periods of time.

These few simple pointers will help choose the best spiked Dog collar for your Dog. If it is safe and comfortable then it can wear it for much longer periods of time.

Purchasing Dog Spike Collars

We have looked at many aspects of the Dog spike collar and deciding where to purchase is one of the most important decisions. There are a lot of inferior products on the market and we need to make sure we are purchasing both a quality item and one that is safe for our Dogs. Companies like Amazon and Imosh.com are probably two of the best places to make purchases. As well as being names that you can trust they sell good quality at affordable prices. Both very important considerations when buying Dog spike collars.

What To Look For In a Quality Spiked Dog Collar

There are a few important elements to look out for when choosing a Dog collar with spikes. We must get good quality and this means in both design and manufacture. The points we should be looking out for are:

• Quality of leather
• Good stitching
• Quality materials for the spikes (preferably coated to prevent rust and wear)
• Safety
• A comfortable fit
• A good returns policy just in case
  

Lets take a closer look at each of these.

Good Quality Leather

There is no point buying a product with inferior quality leather. If we are to buy spiked Dog collars then we want them to last. This means buying from reputable companies that use good quality leather. Of course you can buy non leather collars, and if you do ensure that it too is of good quality.

Good Stitching

You should ensure that the stitching is well done and will last for a considerable period of time. This is not normally an issue but when you receive your order inspect the dog spike collar to ensure it meets your expectations. If you have picked a company with a good returns policy then it can be replaced easily if you encounter a problem.

Quality Spikes

The best spikes will be plated to ensure they last for years and years. If not coated they will be of stainless steel or some similar metal that absolutely will not rust. This is very important as the spikes could be harmful if they begin to wear. Normally any good quality product will have this as standard. You will also quite often find that many of the more heavy duty collars with spikes have screw in spikes. This means you can easily replace individual spike if any get lost or have worked themselves loose.

A Good Fit

It is always wise to measure the circumference of your Dogs neck before making a purchase. This way you will know you are getting the right size. What is equally important is the comfort to your Dog. This will effectively mean buying something that is not too unforgiving. It really comes back to the quality of the leather. You want something that will loosen up in time and will not be too stiff around your Dogs neck. Much like a normal leather Dog collar.

Returns Policy

As just stated a good returns policy is invaluable. If there has been an error in the size you have purchased or you do not feel that the quality is sufficient you want to be able to return the spiked collar without any trouble. Companies that offer good returns policies are invaluable, such as Amazon and imosh.com. I would even say it is worth paying a little extra for this peace of mind. Not that you have to if you make a purchase from those companies. Hopefully these tips will ensure that you buy good quality Dog spike collars that will last your Dog for years to come and keep it looking like the coolest Dog on the block.

The Best Spiked Dog Collars

For me the classic black spiked Dog collar is one of the best looking. This one is tough, durable and looks great. The spikes are not too long so it is safe for both you and your Dog. This is definitely one for a special occasion. Try to only put it on your Dog occasionally and it will last for years and years. You should only put Dog collars with spike on when your pet is supervised if possible. Although they are safe there is still always the chance that they could catch a paw on the spikes so be careful what you choose.

I think the next best Dog spike collars must be the pink spiked collars. Very bright and eye catching, they are available for Dogs of all sizes. Again be careful what you choose. This one is definitely for special occasions. The spikes are fairly large so you need to ensure it is safe by keeping your Dog supervised when it wears it.

There are so many different spike Dog collars that whatever the size of your Dog there is a collar that will be suitable. It is worth taking the measurement of your Dogs neck so that when you purchase you are certain that it will fit.

When purchasing a spiked Dog collar always ensure that you buy a quality product. Good leather and quality spikes will mean that the spiked Dog collar will last for years and years. Also when purchasing make sure that the collar is right for your Dog. You need to get a thinner spiked Dog collar for a small Dog. Larger Dogs can have collars that are quite wide and will allow for a few rows of spikes. You must always think about the comfort of your Dog when choosing a Spiked Dog Collar.
