The stitching and buckle have held up perfectly through muddy trails and constant tugging, and the abrasion-resistant finish still looks brand new after two months. It's clearly built to outlast every other collar I've owned.
Daily walks already put this thing through mud, rain, and a stubborn golden retriever’s tugging, and the abrasion-resistant finish still looks brand new after a month. The buckle clicks in cleanly and hasn’t slipped once, even on our roughest trails.
The stitching has held up perfectly through muddy trails and daily walks, and the buckle feels solid even when my dog yanks on it. Only wish the padding was a touch thicker for longer hikes, but for the price it's doing exactly what I need.
