No, the collar does not have a clasp, making it difficult to adjust and remove. It must be taken off by loosening and sliding over the dogβs head, which can cause issues for many owners.

Hand wash with mild detergent and dry without direct sunlight.
"My Husky has very thick fur typical of the breed and I needed a good Martingale collar that was sturdy but also pretty. Forest is 65 lbs and the medium is the perfect size for him. My favorite element of the design is actually on the inside of the collar, which has an embroidered fish motif."
"Hard to use because it doesnβt unbuckle. In that case, the tension is too strong and sudden. Lupine is a good brand, but not as good as it used to be. We had a buckle collar that lasted over 15 years with barely any fraying and more importantly the plastic buckle held up until past 15 years "
It's a good choice for those looking for a stylish, durable martingale collar, but be aware of potential fit and usability issues.
