About this Product
Best Seller!
Prevent the tragedy of collar strangulation with our made-in-the-USA breakaway collars!
1.5", 1", 3/4", or 5/8" wide, adjustable collar features a unique plastic breakaway clasp that will come loose if the wearer gets caught on something (fence, crate, heat vents, another animal, etc). Double D rings allow you to bypass the breakaway feature and safely use this collar with a leash! Second standard quick-release buckle (in plastic, silver aluminum, or black powder coated aluminum) allows for quick on and off without causing wear of the breakaway mechanism. Optional - personalize your metal buckle and ditch your jingly, always-getting-lost-or-broken traditional ID tags! Perfect for dogs, goats, pigs, sheep, and other free-range animals
Fox Valley Pet Wear breakaway collars come with a proprietary buckle reinforcement to prevent accidental breakaways more common with larger or heavier dogs (included with collars 13" and up only). Buckle reinforcements are removable, replaceable, and adjustable - instructions are included with purchase.

Measure your dog's neck (good) or collar (better) per the photo above. Choose appropriate size range
**Listed size ranges may vary up to 1/2". Please leave me a note at checkout if your pet is young and expected to grow. I will size your collar accordingly to only have upwards adjustment.
A current neck or collar measurement is REQUIRED for this FREE custom sizing service!
*DISCLAIMER* Please be aware that these are designed to break away if caught. Lost collars may happen - but this means your pet is safe and the collar did its job. Refunds or replacements will not be given for lost collars. The suitability of this type collar is the BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY.
Please read my refund policy before ordering.
Notes & recommendations about ENGRAVED BUCKLES
Engraved metal buckles in 1.5", 1", 3/4", or 5/8" to fit any size pet. Engraving is deeply cut into the metal for a long-lasting, durable finish, NOT just laser etched into the top finish like most personalized buckles. Black powder coated buckles have a glossy black finish that contrasts beautifully with engraving (letters show up silver). Available in all four widths. Silver buckles have a mirrored, polished surface.
Text is sized to use the maximum amount of space. Lines with fewer characters will be larger. Lines with many characters will be smaller. I STRONGLY suggest keeping your lines of text short (20 characters or less per line).
5/8" buckles look best with just 2 or 3 lines.
3/4" buckles look best with 3-4 lines or less.
1" buckles look best with 4 lines or less.
1.5" buckles look best with 6 lines or less.
INCLUDE YOUR FONT CHOICE WITH YOUR ORDER! If no font is specified with your order, I will choose for you.
Thin, simple fonts work best with long lines of text. Avoid choosing blocky, bold, or script fonts if you need a lot of information on your buckle.
These are my professional recommendations - ultimately I will engrave what you type in the note box, so please be sure to CHECK YOUR SPELLING and avoid writing a novel :)
There will be no refunds or exchanges on engraved collars. ALL SALES ARE FINAL on personalized collars.
I reserve the right to make small changes to your text for balance and legibility reasons. If I need to change anything drastically, I will send you a message first. Please be sure to check your messages

Fox Valley Pet Wear
Meet the Maker
Out of necessity; into passion.
Hi, I'm Diana. I started this business in 2009, but in 2020, my husband quit his 9-5 to come work with me. So going forward, I'll use "we" instead of "I/me", but rest assured we are the real deal - no factories, no employees; it's just the two of us <3
Like so many small businesses, Fox Valley Pet Wear started at the kitchen table. It then took over an office, and then a second spare room, and then the garage, too! What started as a custom collar for our Italian greyhound turned into a full-time passion serving customers and their pets from around the world! We do our best to support other small businesses - many of our materials are purchased from other small businesses and we hire a local machine shop to manufacture our metal thingamajigs.
QUALITY
We've put over a decade of development and improvement into the products you see in our shop. We are continually improving, and we hope that is evident in our photos and of course our products themselves. â–º Notice our stitching - double rows of extra-strong zigzag stitches where it matters most.
â–º Notice our hardware - we refuse to use "economy" grade hardware - they are cheap for a reason! We wouldn't trust cheap parts on our pets' collars, so we won't use them on your pet's collars!
â–º Our webbing is soft, bright, washable, and best of all, made right here in the USA! Above all else, we are animal lovers and pet guardians.
We share or have shared our home with dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas, fish, a toad, a gecko, chickens, and have had our fair share of fosters, too! We understand the passion for our pets, just like you, and we strive to keep meeting the needs of the modern pet guardians.
How it’s Made
Every order is made after you click "buy". Our webbing is all made in the USA! Our hardware is sourced internationally, but we are continuously looking for domestic sources for any parts we can get. Making pieces one at a time is a little slower than doing large batches, but it allows us to offer an insane number of colors, sizes, patterns, and in nearly any combination. We pack and ship everything from our central Wisconsin shop, 7 days a week!
