This collar is soft, pliable and durable. With a dog that can freak out with loud noises and could back out of her collar, this one tightens up when adjusted correctly without harming her so she doesn't run off. The fabric is soft and there is no sign of wear or hair loss underneath the collar. A bonus is the variety of patterns. This is the second collar we have purchased from Earth Dog. The first one was for our previous dog who wore it for over 9 year. It's worn, but completely functional. We just wanted something new for our new addition. Highly recommend these collars!

These collars are terrific, and earthdog hemp collars are the only ones, I'll buy for our dog, for several reasons. Not only do they hold up against wear and tear, but they come out of the washing machine beautifully I also, appreciate the softness and weigh of the collar. When our dog was a pup, after trying different brands, the earthdog collar was the only one that didn't irritate him. Lastly, when you buy earthdog collars, you're supporting a small American business. Thank You earthdog! We love your collars!

I love this collar. I've had about 5 for my golden doodle over the past 8 years. I love that they seem more secure. Despite the hemp deteriorating every 2 years or so, the quality is quite good. I support Earthdog and what they stand for and I'm a dog lover. I would rate it closer to a 5 if the hemp was more sturdy.

We bought our boy Bruschi a martingale collar two years ago and only now is it showing any wear. The collars are still vibrant and I like the fact that it is so soft. He often gets compliments on it.

We love the decorative hemp martingale collars always opting for the Kody star pattern in different colors.

With Rooney's big basset hound neck and smaller head, the martingales are the only ones that do not slip over his head. We have purchased several over the last few years and they last really well, wash well, too. These are the only collars we buy.
