2.0 out of 5 stars
fantastic idea -- product design needs a lot of work,
By
This review is from: Teafco Fydo Action Water Resistant Dog Collar (Misc.)
NOTE: HALF of the 5* reviews here are EXACT DUPLICATES (10 of 22 at last count) so don't just buy based on the high rating.
We've had this collar for our 70lb, 1.5 yr old, very active doberman mix for a few months now. It seemed like the perfect collar, since we often take him to the beach where he gets soaking wet -- we went through 2 other collars that got instantly mildewy, and were tired of having to constantly dry out the others to avoid that. ** PLUSES - rubber material works as intended -- avoids any mildew smells, and dirt washes off pretty easily when the collar is relatively new - slim & light-weight but beefy design -- collar has good thickness for our dog -- it feels substantial ** MINUSES - biggest one -- the large, silver metal insert that says "Fydo" on one side and has room for writing dog ID info on the other -- it simply does not stay in the collar. DON'T USE THIS AS YOUR DOG'S ONLY ID TAG! There are two rubber tabs that are supposed to retain it in the collar, but they don't work. Within about 2 weeks of owning the collar, the metal piece just popped out while our dog was vigorously playing at the park. We found it that time and put it back in, but after another 2 weeks or so it was gone for good -- lost at the park after popping out again. We emailed Teafco to ask for a replacement, and they very graciously mailed us another insert. This time I literally superglued the insert into our dog's collar, but within a few weeks, that too popped out of the collar. We were also worried that if the hard metal insert popped out and wedged itself between the collar and our dogs neck, it could cause serious injury to our dog if he rolled on his neck the wrong way or bumped another dog. So we gave up and left it out. Now everyone asks us what's up with the huge hole in his collar. - why do I need my dog to advertise the "Fydo" brand with a 1" diameter silver Fydo logo in his collar anyway? - this collar uses a rigid metal circle that juts out about 1/2", and at a rigid 90deg angle, from the collar to hold your own dog tags. Unlike the metal loops on most other collars, this one does NOT pivot at all to lie flat against the collar when you push on it. So if your dog were to roll on a rigid surface or accidentally bump this piece, there's a 1/2" piece of metal pushing into your dog's neck. The possibility of it causing injury might be slight, but I'm mystified why you would chance this and design a dog collar this way. - the collar size adjustment is clever -- there are 2 "nubs" that stick out that you fit into any of the 2 adjustment holes along the collar, but you're relying entirely on the friction of those nubs staying in the holes to keep your dog's collar on. Unlike regular collars with the plastic connectors that lock, there is no locking mechanism on this collar. Most of the time it works well, but we've had the collar pop off our dog unexpectedly a couple times when the nubs wiggled loose from their holes. Even though we're very disappointed in the product, I took the time to write this because this product has so much potential -- especially for very active dogs. We're just hoping Teafco listens to the customer comments here and improves the product design to fix some of these glaring issues. We'd consider buying a version #2, but this version has way too many problems for active dogs.

Finally a collar that my dogs can wear anywhere all day long!,

This review is from: Teafco Fydo Action Water Resistant Medium Dog Collar, Translucent Blue (Misc.)
I have 4 dogs and now they are all wearing this collar . I take my dogs swimming at the beach a lot of times,now I don't have to worry about changing their collar or having lots of pet tags for each collar. This one simply has everything,the tag attached,easy to clean,comfortable for the dogs so they can wear it 24/7.Only thing I have to do now is attach a leash and we're ready to go anywhere. Not only they are great and safe but they are very pretty.I have 2 solid blue,1 solid pink and 1 translucent orange.
Would recommend this to any pet owner! A+ product.

Top-Notch Dog Collar with style and protection,
By
This review is from: Teafco Fydo Action Water Resistant Medium Dog Collar, Translucent Blue (Misc.)
I have purchased this dog collar and am very pleased with it. It has a built-in name tag which I really appreciate. This way I don't have to go out looking for a name tag. I feel this is an added protection for my dog. I chose the translucent aqua for my dog as her coat is black and this color really looks beautiful and also glows in the dark. The manner in which the collar fastens is very desirable as it is neat and tidy and very secure, another great protection for your dog.
