At first I was very pleased with this collar. It is soft, stretchy and has a great jingle sound. However, within the first 5 minutes my dog scratched off one of the bells. I inspected the stiching upclose and found missed stiches all over the place. The bells were held on by one piece of string. The collar was in the trash even before the packaging materials had been thrown out. Its not the sellers fault. They shipped the product promptly. No jingling for my pup this year.
