Things that I’m finding crazy adorable for Spring! :
Years ago when I first started Mimi Green, I was an avid blogger. I blogged all about my life, my kids, my house projects and my makes. That was 2007. At the time, facebook was just becoming popular and texting was finally becoming free (remember when it was like $.25 a text?!) And things just started to change. Being vulnerable and open on my blog felt safe, my readers were so engaged and so supportive. When Instagram’s popularity began to increase I noticed more people spending time on Insta (which lets face it, is a place to write mini blogs) and less time on their blog feeds. Continue reading
When driving or taking car rides with dogs, it is important to keep them safe and secure. Many dogs enjoy taking trips and riding in the car, and it is extremely common for dog owners to take their dogs along with them whenever they can. However, many dog owners fail to take the necessary precautions to keep their dog safe and protected while in the car.
When it comes to keeping your dog safe, a dog collar is the most important accessory to invest in for your pup. It’s no secret that there are many benefits to dog collars, including better control over your dog, assistance in training and discipline, decoration and fashion, and so much more. However, with endless collar options available for dogs, it can be difficult to choose the best safety collar for your dog and your specific needs.
So, let’s take a closer look at the different types of safety collars and break-away collars for dogs, how they work, and how to choose the best safety collar for your unique pup.
Dogs are known for chewing things—whether it be their toys, your belongings, or their collars. Unfortunately, we can’t always stop our dogs from chewing things they aren’t supposed to—like their collars—but there are collar options out there that are less susceptible to damage from chewing and other abuses.
Chew-resistant dog collars—sometimes incorrectly referred to as chew-proof dog collars—are the ultimate solution for dogs who just can’t help but chew at their collars.
Dog collars are a necessary tool in your pet parent’s arsenal. They have your dog’s identifying information on them, allowing you to safely take your pup out to explore the world.
However, when it comes to your home, you may wonder if your pet must wear a collar indoors. If not, should dogs wear collars in the house at all? Should you take off their collar at night?
Your dog should wear a collar and ID tag indoors and outdoors. Accidents happen. Doors get left open, pets run outside or get lost, and an emergency separates you from your dog—in any situation, it’s best to be prepared.
While microchips help identify a dog’s owner, a collar with an ID tag will reunite you with your beloved pet much quicker and increase your chances of bringing it home as soon as possible. When people see a loose dog without a collar, they are less likely to assume it has an owner. It also makes it harder to catch them. It can also be an important safety precaution if you have to separate your dog from another animal, whether that is an off-leash dog or another present danger.
If your pup needs a break from wearing its collar, you could consider removing it when your dog is safely in its kennel or when the doors are locked. This provides a nice segway into the last question.
Many dogs enjoy wearing their collars at night. Again, this is something of personal preference. Some owners remove the collar and put it back on in the morning when it’s “time to get dressed.” We think of it like taking your bra or work shoes off after a long day. Remember that feeling?
Do you find the sound of your dog’s tag and collar jingling around all night? Don’t forget that Mimi Green makes ID collars without tags to avoid night-time jingling.

If you’re worried about uncomfortable dog collars, then follow this checklist. Important factors to consider when choosing a comfortable collar for your dog include fit, material, weight, and allergies.
Non-slip dog collars—also known as anti-slip collars or martingale collars—are the ultimate solution for a no-slip dog collar. While these collars have been indispensable to Greyhound owners for quite some time, non-slip collars have become more and more popular among pet parents with dogs of all breeds in recent years.
Dog collars and harnesses are arguably the most important accessories your dog will have in its lifetime. And although many harnesses and collars are design to last, you will more than likely have to replace them at some point—whether it’s due to wear and tear, functionality, or something else that has jeopardized the safety of the accessories.
Every dog needs a collar. Regardless of the type of dog you have, its age, how active it is, or ¬how well behaved, a dog collar is the most basic and important dog accessory you can purchase for your pup.
You’re here to clean your dog collar to eliminate foul odors, maintain its longevity, and keep your pup looking their best.
Quick Tip: Always read the care label before cleaning your dog’s collar. The label should specify the most suitable method and the recommended cleaning solution.
If there’s no care label and/or you’re still unsure, you can still find a cleaning method if you know what material your dog collar is. This article will share how to clean different types of dog collars. Click any section below to skip to the dog collar material you want to clean.
