Highlighted Reviews
"Loved it but she already has lost it."
"Pretty color options but sub-par materials. The collar immediately began to pull and fray when my cat would itch herself with her back feet. I put this on my cat on October 10th and in less than a month this is how it looks. Would not recommend!"
