Looking for a dog collar brand?

[Riven]

My mom does a grooming shop and wants to sell these collars she's seen, but we can't find the brand of them!

They are a quick release collar and have METAL buckles, not plastic. She thought she had it, but when I checked it out ( alumax.com ) it was just the place that makes the buckles.

Anyone know? :thumbsup:

http://www.diva-dog.com/ maybe...

but what sorts of designs are the colllars?

They had similar buckles! But would have to be something that could retail at a reasonable price. I'm guessing they were a basic nylon type color with the quick release type buckles, but the buckles were metal ( aluminum from what I've found)... if any of that helps much?!

I make collars with metal buckles...but you're going to have a tough time finding them cheap because the buckles, even in bulk, are just plain expensive!

Many people won't use them, however, because they don't break away like a plastic buckle will...so if the dog gets snagged or something bad happens, that buckle won't give out like a plastic one will. On the other hand, some people want the metal buckles because their dogs break the plastic buckles just from pulling too hard.

Yeah, I make collars too and the metal buckles are ridiculously expensive compared to plastic!

But here's what I found for you..

KVSupply might have some other types too, I didn't look around that much. I know when I worked at a grooming salon they bought a bunch from PetEdge, but I don't know that they have those types of collars.

Thanks!

I understand that they are more expensive, but one link had them for like $20-30 per collar, and there is no way you can mark that up again to retail it.



I'll let mom know about your guys' collars, maybe she'll order some from you guys! She's slowly building up retail as it's not her main business.
