If it would only not tear so easily

Would you recommend this product?.: No

I have had several of these collars. I have the matching leash which I love...so i keep replacing the collar. Although this collar lasted longer than the old version it inevitably tore. It seems to snag on the smallest thing and then it spreads into a large tear. Love the design and the spare tag ring but I think I now give up.

Awesome!

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

The old hoopie collar used to snag and rip easily and I went through several of them. It appears the new version has some kind of coating perhaps that makes it a bit stiffer but it hasn't snagged and I've had this for about 6 months! Love the separate tag ring :)

Good collar, but hoopie not attached well

Would you recommend this product?.: No

We wore this collar for about 3 months before a little dog tug of war got the best of the loop that the tags go on. It doesn't look like this loop was attached well, perhaps it should be sewn on? Luckily I didn't lose the tags.

Poor Quality

Hoop for the tags is not secure compared to an older model of this collar that I still have. After 3 months of usage it came off leaving the tags on the ground ! It appears that the hoop is only held on my glue.

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I wanted a collar with a clasp for opening and closing (rather than the slip over the head type) and I love the two different attachment points for tags and leash. This collar is exactly what I was looking for and I never see her scratching at it...happy dog, happy owner.

The sisters wrestle in their spacious play area and grab each others collars. The wire tags loop with the collars stretched too far. We replaced the wire tags loop with a stronger small steel key loop.

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I really like the collar. My 2 favroite things are the fact the tags do not make any noise and the sturdy clip for the leash. Of course the fact that it is sassy looking is an added bonus.

Wonderful

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

Love this collar because while it's strong, it very lightweight. Because of that, it doesn't break the hair on my boxer's neck. Also the positioning of the clip for the leash is perfect, leaving the tags to hang down where they belong. Would love more designs.

So far, so good

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

Love the colors and feel of the collars; easy to adjust and don't seem to bother our girls. We have not had them long enough to see any problems with snagging.....the only downside at this point is the hoop for the tags seems to be very flimsy so we hooked their tags onto the metal loop (which is supposed to be used for attaching the leash)

My canine companion(s): Weimaraners & Pit Bulls

Eh.

Would you recommend this product?.: No

I love RuffWear. I love the philisophy behind the gear, I love the look, and their products stand up to the wear and tear of active dogs. Well, typically stand up to the wear and tear... except in the case of of the Hoopie collars. I like the look, feel, and lightness of the collars, but they are easily snagged in normal activities such as urban walks, wearing in house, scratching neck...

Dog's Name: Evelyn

Date of Review: 1/25/2013

We kick up our paws in: Colorado

My canine companion(s): bulldog

not durable

Would you recommend this product?.: No

I bought the Lotus version of this collar because it was attractive and very lightweight and flexible. Bulldogs have lots of extra skin around their necks and I wanted a collar that would easily fold and not irritate. The flexibility and lightweight material are the biggest downsides to this collar. It immediately began to catch on things and snag. The threads of the lotus pattern caught and tore on ordinary things in the house and it was a balled-up mess. It lasted about 4 months.

I love these colors

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

Over the years we have had several collars but when we came across these that was it! I like like the easy adjustment and how easily it snaps on and off. My favorite part or the best feature the separate hanger for the tags so they do not get mixed in with he leash! I have looked at many other brands...this is the only one with this feature. We are getting a German Shepard so I think this will be a great feature for him as well!

Dog's Name: Guinness

Date of Review: 12/7/2012

We kick up our paws in: Columbia, SC

My canine companion(s): border terrier

Comfortable, looks great

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

This collar is so great! Unlike most collars, this one has tubular webbing, so it doesn't have a scratchy top and bottom. The ID tag attachment (which comes on all Ruffwear collars) is fabulous, and it makes a HUGE difference. Guinness usually hates wearing collars, but he doesn't even notice that this one is on. I've only had it for about 2 months, and it seems to be holding up just fine durability-wise. The only negative thing I have to say about this collar is that it holds onto dirt, so it's harder to keep clean.

Date of Review: 9/25/2012

We kick up our paws in: Michigan

My canine companion(s): APBT

Not durable

Would you recommend this product?.: No

I had read all of the great reviews for this product, but was disappointed by the overall durability of this collar. My dog enjoys being outside, but is much more of a sunbathe on the deck kind of guy than a tearing through the woods dog so I've never really had a problem with him wearing out collars before. The nylon of this collar snagged easily and in less than a month of wear. The nylon is also thin and the collar often needed to be tightened over time. I love the separate tag and leash clips and I even tried a different style Ruff Wear collar, but the nylon snagged on that collar as well... In only 2 months.

Date of Review: 9/3/2012

We kick up our paws in: Minnesota

My canine companion(s): Shepherd Mix

Nicely designed

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

This is a great collar; durable, functional and nice-looking too. Our dog is tough on hers--hiking, swimming, camping--this collar stands the test. Easily washable. Hazel wears the lotus motif--I really wanted to find a collar that was feminine enough so that people stopped telling me what a handsome boy I had, but without having her wear hot pink and purple all the time. This fits the bill--feminine but not 'girly'. Tag silencer is great and I've only found one small snag on it thus far and this after months of rough wear. Very pleased with the product.

Great Collar, looks great and has been durable

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I have 2 very active Vizslas. We go off trail quite a bit and they constantly dive off into the underbrush to chase anything that moves. I have not had the issues that other users have complained about. This is my third one of these collars and they have recently changed the material that the collar is made of. The plus is that the material is harder to snag, but the downside is that it is a bit more slick, and I do have to tighten up the collar about once every 1-2 weeks. This new material may have addressed some of the concerns of the people that gave the collar lower stars.

My dog is also a service dog. The Hoopie is his off-duty collar. He has been hiking in it, swimming, into shrubbery and we have no problems. The material has not unraveled, no snags, still looks great. And my dog will get into anything, he's quite adventurous. Love the separate attachment for his tags.

Perfect width for a little dog

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

The small size is the perfect width for my little dog - so many other smaller size collars are very narrow, which must be rather uncomfortable and dig into the neck. I love the lack of tag noise interfering with quiet country walks. The only thing I would change about the design is the buckle - it would be a better fit around the neck if it was curved rather than straight.

My buddy, Big Al, is 87 lbs. and hikes daily in the Colorado mountains. His new Ruffwear collar has proven to be sturdy and comfortable. He loves it and I think he looks great wearing it!

I got the cascades design for my corgi; it's not our usual collar, I use the Knot-a-just mostly, but this is a good collar for times when you want an extra beefy product (hiking, etc) that can also stand out more (since the knot-a-just settles in the fur - can't see it well). The tag silencer is nice too!

Would you recommend this product?.: No

I love the look and features of this collar. However, with very little use it starts to unravel. I use it just for her ID and walk her with a harness. I exchanged the last one about a week ago and it's already unravelling! This is the third collar that did this. Needs to be more durable!! Disappointed :( Love all my other Ruffwear products!

Ruffwear has simply the best dog gear available. Although the price is steep (especially after shipping costs) I am a true believer in you get what you pay for. The fit and finish of the Hoopie collar is great...my only suggestion would be a broader color / style selection...

Strong, well-designed collar

Would you recommend this product?.: Yes!

I've had this collar for a month now and have ben impressed by the quality. The separate attachment point for a leash is a great idea; if you;ve ever mistakenly connected the leash to the ring attaching the dog's tags, you understand exactly why. The tag silencer is an excellent yet unexpected bonus. No jingling! This kind of thinking is what make Ruffwear awesome. I have always been leary of the snap-together collars, but I tried breaking it apart by hand and it wouldn't budge. It requires positive pressure on the buckle to disengage. I am confident it cannot be inadvertantly unbuckled.

We have no complaints with this collar. Love the metal attachment point, love the silencer and the plastic buckle is strong and easy to operate. If people are having trouble with the buckle not staying locked, it may be because they are allowing dog hair to get tangled in it and that allows it to slip open.

This is not a bad collar, don't get me wrong. PROS: I love the metal ring and the tag silencer. Fits him nicely CONS: Snags like NO OTHER! My 13 pound yorkie likes to prance through the brush and that snagged his collar. At first I figured that it was just because of the bushes so I didn't allow him back in. Now it snags just from him scratching (not very often). Sadly I will not be buying another one of these collars.

Great quality of products - not cheap but you get what you pay for.

The buckle seems tough, though my dog doesn't have a habit to pull a lot.

My kid-with-fur is now sporting the topo color pattern with her Knot-a-Leash or her Quick Draw Leash, and I couldn't be happier. Like other reviewers, I really appreciate the tag silencer and the alternate location for tags, although my pup gets to be "naked" in the house, which means she only dons the collar and leash when we head outside. I am very satisfied with this and the other Ruffwear products I've purchased!

I bought this collar for my 14-year old beagle. I loved the collar and the tesarate hook for tags. He sometimes scratches at his collar, but not to an excessive degree. Within four days, the collar fabric was shredding and splitting. I took the collar back to the store where I bought it; they called Ruffwear who REFUSED to refund my money or even replace it. The store went ahead and refunded my money, because they care about customer service. I will never buy another Ruffwear product.

I have purchased many Ruff wear products and love to support local businesses but Olive only wore her collar one day and it was ruined. She snagged it several times just simply running around in the yard through my landscape. The material is so fragile I am so disappointed as I really loved the print. She also has a life jacket and the all terrain boots and those all work great. This is the second time we had an issue with a collar. :-(

Hoopie Collar is also a favorite of mine since I could not get the Top Rope collar for a while I started using this collar. I've got to say, it's almost as nice as the Top Rope Collar and in some ways I like it better. The leash attachment point is always easy to hook up to but not always at the top. What I like better is that the buckle isn't weighted which I assume is more pleasant for the dogs (although I never saw anything to indicate an issue with the Top Rope).
