This is the second litter that I have used these collars, and I fit them just after birth as I weigh each newborn. Very useful to keep an eye on particular pups which may not the thriving as much as the others, and for record keeping re worming, weight etc etc. Soft velcro which has never irritated my puppies skin and can be easily adjusted every couple of days as the pups grow. They can be made small enough for even tiny necks and are long enough to stay on Flat Coated retrievers until 8 weeks old. I found they work better than tippex or nail varnish (former always wears off quickly and latter the pups hate due to strong smell.) Wearing a collar is never a problem when they go to new homes either. Only warning is to make sure you fit them snugly enough to get 2 fingers in - too loose and pups can get their paws through when they scratch. Highly recommendRead full review

I used these to id my kittens. I found they were very hard with no give or stretch or quick release. One kitten had chafing on the neck, I loosened the collar, unfortunately too loose and the kitten got her bottom jaw caught in the collar which cut her lips, there was blood everywhere, very frightening. Kittens could easily hang themselves with these collars. Really not suitable for kittens.

I raise Sphynx kittens. Not all bands are good for them. Due to possible skin irritation. I ordered one set of these and was so pleased, I ordered another the very day they arrived. I can't wait to use them.

These collars are excellent value. They can be used from newborn until they have grown to eight weeks as you can keep adjusting them. Most important they stay on, and as long as you can get two fingers between neck and collar, then they are perfectly safe. They also look good. Word of warning though, I found a staggering difference in price for the same item. Look for best deal.

Bought for Labrador puppies and were a perfect fit obviously had to adjust the size every week but these were great for money and they last. Definitely a 5* item
