Having worked in the dog industry for many years, several of them spent working with high end clients, I can vouch that there are some EXTREMELY well made, high quality, and EXPENSIVE dog collars. In some cases, you might be able to get something better shopping in high end pet stores, though you might find that you don't always save money on them. You just might not get some of the features of BDSM "people collars" such as multiple D rings or certain types of padding or other custom details. Most, though not all, dog collars have the D ring situated next to the buckle which doesn't look as nice on people as it does on dogs since most people wear their collars with the buckle behind the neck and the D ring facing forward. High end pet boutiques carry collars in the $100's ranges. Sometimes higher for rhinestones and other fancy things. Many fashion designers (Coach and Louis Vitton among them) have a line of pet collars and they are priced to match their other products. I've had clients who easily spent $2-300 on their pets' collars. Dog collars made for large, strong, heavy dogs might even stand up to more abuse than "people collars." For fashion, especially blingy, shiny things, you'll probably find a larger selection among pet collars. For comfort, you'd probably really have to shop around, but I've seen many beautiful, buttery soft leather dog collars. For longevity, most dog collars, especially high end, high quality ones, are made to be worn daily during playtime, walks, training, even sleeping, possibly even getting wet, and last for a long time. People collars aren't always made to that standard. I think it's quite possible you could find something just as good, if not better in pet collars, you might save money on it but you might not, you'd have a larger selection and variety of styles, but you might not get every feature so it really depends on your priorities and your specifications. less
