It’s been a lot of fun watching people who’ve been buying the new cool dog collars from the Chihuahua Shop, trying out their new stylish dog collar on their little dog and walking around the little city plaza here where I live. The Chihuahua Shop carries a number of super cool dog collars, to go along with the small dog clothing we specialize in for chihuahuas and other little dogs, and it’s an online store, but the locals here get restless sometimes. They know me and they know that I run the Chihuahua Shop, and so sometimes my dog lover neighbors show up at my door with a burning need to buy a new collar for their dog right now.

I can’t always accommodate them because the dog clothes and the custom dog collars ship from elsewhere! But I usually have a few spares of most of our chihuahua clothes and the new and very cool dog collars that we just got in, and so it is sometimes possible for me to help out my small dog owning fanatic neighbors, who would probably kill to get their hands on the latest designer dog collar for their chihuahua!

An Obsession With Cool Dog Collars

Some of the people in this chihuahua town are flat-out obsessed with cool dog collars and they buy every kind of cool dog collar, along with the personalized puppy collars and the flashy pink dog collars, that they can get their hands on.

They tell me that small dog collars “are the gateway to chihuahua fashion stardom” for their little dogs. And while I ponder their words for a half-second before wondering if they’re insane, I tell them about the latest cool dog collars that are being released soon and that the Chihuahua Shop is getting in and I sit back and watch them salivate like a hungry dog getting a bone. Yes, some of my neighbors are fashion freak shows, God bless them!

I guess for some people, chihuahua collars, and really all collars for small dogs, are something truly special: they’re a dog accessory you get to express your inner fashionista (and your dog’s inner fashionista) through a bling-tacular, flashy, glamorous piece of jewelry that is subtle, but sublime. You can tell I’m channelling my fashion-minded neighbors right now!

Puppy Collars: Where To Find The Perfect Collar That Expresses Your Puppy’s Unique Personality

Puppy collars are the most important piece of jewelry you can buy your dog: she will be wearing it for most of her life.

The good news is that these collars for puppies come in a variety of styles and, no matter what your taste, it’s fairly easy to find a collar for your little dog that you love.

After a lot of searching, checking, and shopping, I’ve found that different online dog stores have different strengths. What I mean by that is that certain online dog stores will sell a particular type of puppy collar that are better than most of the other stores out there, but then another store does a better job/has a better selection of another type of puppy collar.

In my opinion, these are the four best puppy collar boutiques:

Dog Collar Boutique
The Chihuahua Shop
Posh Puppy Boutique
G.W. Little

So if you’re now wondering “well, ok: from these four shops, where can I find the the best type of X dog collar?”

I’ve listed the answers (my opinion), below:

Designer puppy collars emphasize glamour and glitz, typically incorporating a lot of crystals or charms into the band and packing a ton of style. Perfect for the fashion-minded puppy owner with money to blow; these are more expensive than most other dog collars.
Best place to find them: the Dog Collar Boutique.

Personalized puppy collars allow you to customize the look of your little dog’s collar: printing your pet’s name on the band in Diamante crystal letters or having the leather band engraved, or personalizing the collar in a number of other ways are common practice with these collars that allow for customization. Great for dog lovers wanting to add that personal touch to their puppy’s most treasured possession.
Best place to find them: The Chihuahua Shop

Legally Blonde puppy collars let you dress your pup up just like Bruiser from this classic play/movie! If you’re a fan of the movie and you love pink, you’ll probably love these.
Best place to find them: The Chihuahua Shop

Boy dog collars emphasize the masculine qualities of your puppy with spikes, studs, and wide leather bands. Perfect for the budding beast!
Best place to find them: the Dog Collar Boutique

Pink puppy collars emphasize the soft and sweet in your little pet puppy, bringing out those beautiful feminine qualities. Ideal for cute girl dogs with owners who either love pink or who are comfortable in their masculinity and can appreciate the pink aesthetic… ahemm.
Best place to find them: The Chihuahua Shop

Cheap puppy collars get the job done at minimal cost. These are great for when you just need a simple collar for your puppy and you don’t want to spend a lot of bones.
Best place to find them: the Dog Collar Boutique

Crystal puppy collars bring the bling and inject your puppy with a heavy dose of glamour. Often studded with Swarovski or some other type of crystal, these are gorgeous dog collars for the pet owner who can afford them, as they do cost more than your average pup collar.
Best place to find them: the Dog Collar Boutique

Leather puppy collars bring that classic dog look and feel to your puppy. Classic, durable, and very often very stylish, these are perfect for the new puppy owner looking for a good all-around collar for her little dog.
Best place to find them: The Chihuahua Shop

Puppy collars: also for the smaller dog breeds

Puppy collars are perfect for the smaller dog breeds like chihuahuas, yorkies, pugs, and the other cute little dog breeds running around out there. These dogs are essentially perpetual puppies, remaining small for life, and so puppy collars are idea for them, as well. For the toy breed dog owners out there, I heartily recommend checking out the places I’ve listed above, as well as the being sure to check out The Posh Puppy Boutique–they have some very cool collar designs that just didn’t quite fit in to the categories I mentioned above–as well as G.W. Little, for the same reason!

I hope you find this roundup/comparison of puppy collars useful! I’ll speak to you again soon. -Mikey
