"β€œI enjoy this collar. The buckle works well- the collar stays on and easier enough to get off. I was worried if the collar would get dirty. My cat rolls in the dirt. Pleased to see the collar doesn’t look dirty and faded after she rolls around outside.”"

β€” Destiny

"If I could give zero stars I would. This morning, while I was sitting next to my cat. I watched him scratch himself like normally. And as he scratched himself the collar moved with every movement. Then suddenly, I heard my cat gasping. I ran over to him to see that while he was scratching the collar..."

The Frisco Blue Tie-Dye Cat Collar is visually appealing and generally liked by cats, but serious functionality and safety issues make it a high-risk option for pet owners.
