              NEW - BY POPULAR DEMAND

              Reflective Biothane comes in only two widths - 3/4" and 1". The reflective strip is silver, identical to our other reflective products.This collar is for medium to large dogs only. MINIMUM LENGTH OF 13". No exceptions. Instead, consider the style without buckle here.

              By popular request, Fi compatible breakaway collars with breakaway clasp AND traditional "quick clip" buckle. The traditional buckle can be personalized and will prevent unnecessary wear and tear on the breakaway clasp, perfect for daily on and off use.

               Don't know what a "Fi" is? Don't have a Fi but need a breakaway collar? Our Fi Compatible collars REQUIRE a Fi module. Order a 'standard'/non-Fi breakaway collar from this collection.


              1" or 3/4" 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!


              *** DISCLAIMER *** USE AT YOUR OWN RISK
              Be sure your Fi is charged to prevent accidental loss! Breakaway collars WILL break away, probably when it's least convenient for you; this option may not be suitable for all dogs or situations. By purchasing, you acknowledge the risk of losing a Fi receiver if your dog is off leash in a large area. Refunds or replacements will not be given for lost collars or loss of your Fi receiver.

               

              Fox Valley Pet Wear breakaway collars come with a proprietary buckle reinforcement to prevent accidental breakaways more common with larger or heavier dogs (M-XL sizes only). Buckle reinforcements are removable, replaceable, and adjustable - instructions are included with purchase.


              Size & Width
              Measure your dog's neck or current collar. Choose appropriate size range & width. **Listed size ranges may vary up to 1/2". Stated size ranges are actual collar lengths - be sure to choose a size large enough to be comfortable for your pet.

              Be warned: this breaks off VERY VERY EASILY!

              After being encouraged by a friend to invest in a breakaway collar, I found this one and was thrilled to have an option for my dog that included the Fi! However I immediately noticed that this particular breakaway clasp separates much more easily than the clasp on other collars like PetSafe. I found it falling off of my dog when she rolled around or played more aggressively and two days after receiving it went missing in my backyard (and the Fi died!). If there were things she could have gotten stuck on I’d say that it’s a good thing the collar broke away, but there are very few places she could have gotten caught and so I suspect she just took a tumble and it broke off. Very disappointed that I only got two days use. If your dog, like mine, is very active and playful, be warned that this clasp isn’t very strong and can be broken off pretty easily!

              Hi Grace, I already sent a similar email but wanted to post this one publicly for any other customers who may have the same experience. Check to be sure your hook & loop reinforcement is in place! Sometimes this gets overlooks (and thrown out) but it is a critical part of the breakaway collar design.

              If you don't see any physical damage to the buckle (chips, cracks, bite marks, etc) it is most likely that the included hook and loop reinforcement has either been removed or lost. Those are necessary for larger dogs to prevent accidental breakaways.

              In our experience, nearly all instances of accidental breakaways is a result of the reinforcement being removed or lost.

              Our clasps are engineered to work with dogs of all sizes, so they do have a relatively low break force to safely accommodate smaller dogs. The hook and loop reinforcement provides approximately 12 additional pounds of break force.

              We have replacements available here:
