As a pet product supplier and dog mom to KuiKui, I’ve tested over 20 nylon collars in real-world conditions. Here are 8 actual collars we’ve used, with honest pros, cons, and fit feedback to help you better understand what's worth stocking (or skipping).
Brand | Experience Summary | Highlight Feature | Rating |
Kick The Fence | Chosen for customizable lock design, but actual look didn’t impress | Custom laser-engraved buckle | ⭐️⭐️ |
Boondog | Has a semi-slip feel for better control, but a bit wide and heavy | Control-friendly, but bulky | ⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
Luff well | Classic nylon build. Model #5 has gorgeous colors — KuiKui’s favorite daily collar | Great color options, soft for small breeds | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
Georeg | Loved the wooden logo tag and bold red color. Stylish + affordable — hard to buy outside China | Aesthetic + value | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
7SD | Couldn’t resist the sunflower pattern. Very cheap, but surprisingly durable | Cute + budget friendly | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
Celine | KuiKui’s Lunar New Year gift collar. Ordered wrong size — too tight. No matching leash available. | High fashion vibe, low utility | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ |
Takeaway: Among these, Georeg, 7SD, and Luffwell stand out for durability, price-performance, and comfort.
Note: KuiKui is a small-to-medium dog, so comfort, adjustability, and soft-edge finish are key.

Wearing the wrong-sized collar can cause serious problems:
tight → Risk of choking, hair loss, skin irritation
loose → Dogs can slip out, especially during walks
Correct fit → You should be able to fit two fingers between the collar and your dog’s neck
