Lupine

I simply love Lupine products for dogs. If we had a cat, s/​he would be sporting Lupine gear too. ;) I never used to be one for decorative collars, but tastes have changed. And Lupine fits the bill. The patterns are creative (they do have solid colors too), updated regularly, and the quality is exceptional. I like that they’re made in NH and the company does a lot of philanthropy.
The biggest appeal is their guarantee to replace an item, even if it’s been chewed! I’ve not had to test that guarantee, thankfully. But I know some people who have, and they’ve been quite happy. Their customer service is excellent. They made a mistake on my recent order, sending the wrong leash/​collar pattern. Instead of doing an exchange, they just asked me to donate the incorrect items to my local shelter and sent me the right items. :)
They sell direct to the public only through their website, but have a pretty good distribution network of pet supply stores and online retailers. If you sign up for emails, you will get online sales alerts and special notice of limited edition patterns (LupineLab).
We prefer the Combo collars (aka Martingale). They’re safer than a choke chain because they’re self limiting when they close up on the dog’s neck so there’s no risk of damage to the windpipe. Also prevents them from slipping a collar. So scary when a dog (especially a newly adopted one) gets loose. Safety first! Happy and stylish mutt strutting. :)
