Go Dog Glo Reflective LED Dog Collar - Orange | Waterproof & Adjustable for Nighttime Safety | Perfect for Walking, Running & Outdoor Adventures

Just ordered a new hot pink Stunt Puppy Go Dog Glo Dry Dog Collar, 5 years, 3 months, 23 days after the first one. NOT replacing it due to failure! What do you get the dog that has everything for their birthday -dog jewelry!The original collar shown in the photos will go into the drawer as a fully functional spare.The Stunt Puppy collar has been swimming at least once every single day for the equivalent of five years. Swimming is the reason we searched for an odor-proof collar. Prior webbing collars never had a chance to dry, so not only did the collar stink, the old fashioned collars allowed the hair under the collar to stay wet to grow yeast and start to stink adding to dog smell. While not quite without scent, the collar is not something we ever intentionally washed or maintained in the 1942 days it was worn.The nylon (?) buckles are as functional and flexible today as any I've ever had on expensive backpacks and camera bags. They haven't gotten brittle with age or UV from the sun.The reflective strip is a great design feature has similar, if not the same, reflectivity to 3M SOLAS Safety Of Life At Sea standards which are specified by international maritime treaty. The reflective portion is applied/molded/painted on the collar material, and portions that have had heavy contact or rubbing on the buckle parts for 46,608 hours the wear is completely acceptable and should be expected. Dog isn't quite tall enough to drink from a stone fountain we have, so the part of the collar that rubs on the fountain has been rubbed off a bit as well.Flexibility - for the 3rd image the collar was wound loosely around the buckle in the center and set down to unwind under its own 'springiness.' It is possible to see shape memory in the collar material where due to age & less exercise it needed to be resized. It didn't seem to effect wear or comfort for the dog.
