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.
