First impression is how beautiful the color is! I bought the “Red Velvet” and it’s just that! The color is that deep lush color of a red velvet cake, really gorgeous. The leash and color are sturdy and well made. I bought mine for my 5 month old pug so it’s not like I have a massive dog pulling on it but I would imagine the larger versions for larger dogs would be just as well made. I like that the collar has a side release buckle as opposed to the standard tongue buckle and has an easy-to-adjust adjuster loop ensuring a perfect fit for your dog’s neck, or in my case, my puppy’s quickly growing neck.
