PetSafe Martingale Dog Collar with Quick-Snap Buckle - Large, 1 Inch, Royal Blue

(He looks mad because I’m bothering his nap time) I got this collar because the shelter we had gotten my pup from was using this collar and we liked the buckle, martingale, and tag ring features. The shelter one is the red in what I presume is the size medium and the one I purchased is the blue in the size large (both have been adjusted to fit his neck). And both fit him perfect! I would definitely recommend the medium for all medium and some large dogs. And the large for any large dogs with either big necks or are just strong. The medium is a bit more bendable (could have gotten soft from wear) hence why I said it could work for large dogs but I’d say only for the more gentle and no pullers. It’s an amazing collar b/c it fulfills my personal wants for my pup and my pup’s needs. This new blue one feels very sturdy and could hold a strong dog and heavy puller. Although we had to tighten it nearly all the way for the large size to fit his neck, it still fits him and we decided on the large for the sturdiness since he’s a puller. The collar also is not heavy and the martingale feature makes the collar comfortable for my boy. Martingale collars are amazing for teaching your dogs not to pull and comfortable for the pup when they are not on a leash since it fits loosely around their necks (it won’t come off either).Update: the large ended up slipping off of his head a couple times and we had to return it and get a medium instead! Hopefully it doesn’t slip off

I love the PetSafe brand because I always know I'm going to get a quality item at a reasonable price. This Martingale Collar was no different. We have a new 10 month old Rottweiler who is already pushing 105 pounds. He's a big, powerful, doofus and is scared of his own shadow. So there are times when we would go on a walk and he would get scared (squirrel climbing tree, plastic bag blowing across yard...you get the idea) and try to back out of his collar to run back to the safety of home. Well, after reading some reviews, I decided to give this collar a try and could not be happier with my purchase. Simply put, these collars are life savers. Now, when my big scaredy-cat/dog gets startled and tries to back out, I don't have to worry about him escaping and running wild through our neighborhood. I took a picture of my dog trying to back out and being confused as to why he wasn't going anywhere, and even though the collar isn't visible, you can see how it functions (he's unable to back up any further).Also, as an aside, this product met all my expectations with regards to quality and craftsmanship. The weakest part of the whole collar is the plastic snap to open/close the collar. But that too is heavy-duty and after 3 months it's still going strong.

I got a large hoping that I could make it small enough to fit on my 4 month old 35lb puppy and then he could grow into it. It was still a bit too big at 4 months but now at 5 months it fits and it will lengthen to fit him even once he's a full 80lbs.Its quite sturdy and has stood up to the inevitable chewing of a teething puppy with minimal damage. Overall I am quite happy with it.

Nice width and seems study. Bit too big for 9 mo old rescue who weighs 45 lbs. Hopefully will grow into it. Probably getting the next size down for collie. Regular collar is a pain with the hair. I do like that it just slips on.

Our boxer keep slipping out of her collar when we held her. and when it was tight where she could not slip out it was too tight. We purchased this and it’s absolutely PERFECT. When we hold on to the loop on the collar it will tighten when needed but it’s loose when needed. It’s perfect!

I LOVE THIS COLLAR! I have a dog that is fearful around others. He has a regular collar with his identification on it, and I use this when it's time to go for a ride or a walk. It keeps him very secure (he will not slip out of the collar). This type of collar was recommended to me by an animal behaviorist, and I am so thankful she did. I don't fear losing my 72 lb beloved dog by slipping out of the collar. When he is in the car or finished with the walk, the quick snap is super easy and quick to remove. I keep his leash attached to this collar, so when it's time to get out of the car I snap the collar on and are ready to go, when we are finished I just quickly snap it off. My dog loves it and I love the safety and the excellent quality.

Have had this exactly 5 months. 75 lb labrador retriever that's very active. They nylon is nice and it works well as a Martingale. However, the d-ring has been showing corrosion for a couple of months now. Today was a Dog Beach day. 3 miles of off-leash fetching, so tags need to be on him. Checked my phone just before leaving and someone had found his license and tag... at the very end. So we did another 3 miles of walking to reclaim them. Tired dog is happy dog, I need the exercise anyway, but I'd pay twice the price for better durability and less risk of losing the license and tag that would be twenty-ish bucks to replace. In the pic Happy doesn't look very happy about it but actually that's his "You're not petting me" sulk :)

Our nearly 80 lb female german shepherd has been wearing her large collar 24/7 for 3+ years now (except when it is drying after having been washed). The collar has held up perfectly and is none the worse for the wear it has gotten. She quickly grew out of a small and a medium that we gave to friends. Great product, no complaints.4+ years now and almost like new - see overall photos front and back above. Great product!5+ years and still going strong. Great value, bang for the buck! Would buy it again, but not necessary.6+ years and counting, Recommendation stronger than ever!In the fall of its 6th year, one claw of the latch broke. A couple of years ago we started removing the collar every night. Finally the one claw had had enough. The collar was still secure even with a leach until the new replacement arrived. Bought same collar, size and color. Great product!
