Ben (our test Spaniel) needed a new collar and while we were at a dog show the Caird Journey Light Collar caught our eye so we decided to invest.

We were initially drawn to this collar as it has a much more premium look than most others we saw, coming in a pleasant red colour with a reflective strip running around it's entire length.  The collar is also available in blue, purple, khaki, black, orange, camouflage and blue with an orange border.  All except the camouflage and blue & orange feature the reflective strip.

The collar seems very well made with a sturdy aluminium ring to attach your lead to and a separate plastic ring to attach your dog's tag.  It also has a nylon loop which can be used to attach a light for night-time walks.  The fabric is supple and lined with neoprene which means it feels like it should be comfortable for Ben to wear.

The Journey Light Collar costs £18.97 from Caird and, in our opinion, is well worth this price as it really feels like this is a collar that will stand the test of time and give years of service, even for Ben who is very hard on his collars as he is in and out of hedges and muddy ditches constantly!
