The holidays aren't about getting and giving gifts. At the end of the day, they are about spending time with the people that you love, and of course the pets that mean so much to us. Dressing your pet with a Christmas dog collar is a simple and fun way to include her in the holiday festivities.
Keep in mind that these collars aren't all about the show. Your pet will be wearing the collar that you choose for several hours. Do you think he's going to be comfortable in a jester-style collar with jingle bells all over it for an entire afternoon?
A Christmas dog collar should fit comfortably and shouldn't bother your pet. Does the collar make noise? Is it thicker than a traditional collar? Is it too heavy for your pet? Make sure that you choose a Christmas dog collar that your pet will enjoy as much as you and your guests.
