What’s the BEST collar to use for a Morkie?

The best collar to carry your Morkie’s identification, is soft, pliable and not too thick.

The best collar to WALK your Morkie is not a collar – it’s a harness.  (More on harnesses in the next post)

Identification is a MUST

For identification, pick from an engraved metal tag, a metal nameplate that goes right on the collar or a collar with the name embroidered right into the collar.

There are some FABULOUS dog tags available on ETSY –

Best type of material for a collar

Chain – is not good for Morkies since it puts a lot of pressure on their throat when attached to a leash. Plus they’re quite heavy.

Neoprene is rubbery and soft. It is waterproof and comfortable.

Nylon collars are the most popular. They’re inexpensive, and come in lots of cute designs. However they’re not very durable, and can get dirty over time. But at the price, you can replace it. With a nylon collar, be sure it’s not too wide; pick the most narrow one you can find.

Leather – looks good and last a long time. Again, don’t get one that’s too deep. Leather collars come in a variety of colours and designs.

Faux leather is inexpensive but breaks down quickly. Good for a ‘fast fashion’ choice.

Type of closure

A small, plastic clip type of closing is fine for a small dog, since it’s not likely he can break it by pulling hard. Other fasteners are metal or the traditional buckle style.

Why you can’t use a CAT COLLAR for a Morkie

Yes, they fit better.  But did you know that cat collars, by law, must release?

So if the cat is caught up in a tree or in bushes and suddenly takes off, the collar will break apart without much effort.  It’s a safety thing for cats. But obviously not a good thing if your Morkie suddenly decides to run.

Sizing the collar

Measure your Morkie’s neck, hold the measuring tape firmly but not tight. Then add 2″. You should be able to slip 2 fingers under the collar when your dog is wearing it.

Not-quite-designer collars at Amazon

These collars may not be the super glam but they’re pretty cute!

Or how about FLAMINGOES! They go with everything!

Was this the FIRST Designer Dog Collar?

We started decorating our canine companions’ collars about 10,000 years ago.

Ancient Egyptians were crazy about cats, but they loved their dogs too. This collar was found in a tomb, along with the mummified dog and owners. It’s a work of art in itself.

Here’s an awesome store I came across browsing online, called MUTTROPOLIS. Lots of great stuff, including these unique collars.
