5 out of 5 starsGreat key fob! I like that it’s stiff as that makes it much easier to find in the depths of a bag. The pattern is so cute too

5 out of 5 starsPurchased this collar to match the leash and it matches perfectly. The collar is a good width, with again beautiful, sturdy brass buckle. Both the collar & leash feel nice n' flexible and soft, not hard like a traditional leather collar. Excellent customer service & prompt replies to my questions. Wrapped in a lovely bag with info on collar/leash care. Very happy. Will defintely buy again from 4BlackPaws.

When will my order ship?
It is currently taking 2 weeks to make & ship orders. For example, if you purchase on Monday the 1st, your order will ship on/by Monday the 15th.
I often get asked why it takes so long. The short version? I am a one-woman show. I cut, sew, trim, package and ship each and every item that leaves my little shop :) I do not have any employees working for me (unless you count the dogs, but they have proven to not be very helpful).
I try to produce & ship products as quickly as possible but please understand that it typically takes the full 2 weeks for your order to ship.
On occasion, I offer a rush service. This depends on the time of year and amount of orders I currently am working through. Please contact me BEFORE ordering for details.
Sizing & Hardware Details (Plastic and Metal Hardware)
It is very important that you measure your pup for their new collar. The best way to measure is with a soft measuring tape around the widest part of your dogs neck. Sizing is as follows:
• X-Small: 7 to 11 inches
• Small: 10 to 15 inches
• Medium: 12 to 19 inches
• Large: 15 to 24 inches
• X-Large: 17 to 29 inches
**Custom sizes available if needed. Please contact me for more information**
Hardware Information:
-Metal buckle collars come with all metal hardware.
-Plastic buckle collars come with a plastic buckle, plastic triglide (slide) and metal d-ring
Do you offer a guarantee on your collars?
If an item arrives to you & has a manufacturing error due to something on my end (wrong size/upgrade/engraving, etc) I will work with you to correct these errors.
Once an item leaves my studio, I do not have any way of knowing/controlling how my products are used. I do my best to provide information to all customers of proper use & make all care & use information available on our website.
Due to these reasons it is not possible for me to provide a guarantee of any kind on the products that I create. Non engraved collars 6 months & older can have buckles replaces for a $5 fee + shipping (you will ship back at your cost).
I offer a recycling program for you to reuse your hardware on a new collar of your choice. Contact for more info
An Important Note from Sarah
I am first and foremost a dog mom; safety is my number one concern. It is important to not leave your products anywhere that it may get chewed/consumed by your fur kid. While we strive to provide the best possible products, pets are inherently unpredictable. We cannot be held liable for any harm that may result from neglect, abuse, use or misuse. As the customer/purchaser of these products, you are responsible for determining the suitability of any of the items for your individual situation and assume all responsibility and liability by purchasing these products. Be sure to check your pup’s collar for wear and tear on a regular basis and do not ever leave your dog tied up inside or outside in their collar unsupervised.
Collar Colors/Pattern Variations
While I strive to portray all collar colors exactly how they appear in real life, variations in computer/phone screen settings may make colors appear either brighter or more dull than than they are in real life. If you have any concerns about colors, please contact me before purchasing.
Please note that all collars are created by hand. With that being said, no two will be exactly exactly alike. Each collar is custom made to order. I do ask for your understanding and that there may be slight differences in the pattern from what is shown in the photos.
Martingale Collar Upgrade Information
I offer 2 types of martingale collar upgrades:
-Fabric Martingale: the control loop is reinforced with nylon webbing for durability.
-Check Chain Martingale
It is important to note that when upgrading to a martingale collar, a buckle will NOT come with the collar. The martingale upgrade replaces the buckle. I do not offer martingales with a buckle at this time.
Martingale Sizing is as follows:
X-Small: Not Available
Small: 12-15"
Medium: 14-18"
Large: 17-24"
X-Large: 20-29"
Please be sure to order the flat buckle collar according to the sizing above.
When checking out, please leave your dogs exact neck size in the "optional note to seller" box.
"I forgot to change my shipping address" or "The address on my order is incorrect" - Now what? + Lost Package
If you notice before your order is shipped, please contact me ASAP to reorder with correct mailing address.
If your order has shipped & is returned due to an inaccurate mailing address, I will re-ship it. A 4+re-shipment fee applies before the order is sent; restocking fee applies to orders not reshipped.
I automatically ship to the name & address listed under the "Ship To" section when the order comes through to me. I am unable to see any addresses you may have saved on your account. No refunds will be given for orders sent to incorrect addresses. If package is not returned to me within 4 weeks, you can repurchase at a 50% discount.
Packages marked as “delivered” by the USPS but “not received” is not eligible for a free replacement.
Collar Durability
Fabric collars will have a shorter lifespan than our canvas collars. Cotton fabric collars are created with multiple layers of high-quality designer fabric & heavy-duty stabilizer. Canvas collars are created with polyester canvas fabric and webbing.
As with most items made with cotton fabric, collars made from fabric will wear/fray/stain/fade with use. I like to equate this to us wearing the same shirt or pants every day for a long period of time; it will begin to show signs of wear. Cotton fabric collars will wear much faster and notably when they are worn for long periods of time, washed regularly or are exposed to water, mud, sun, etc.
I HIGHLY recommend having multiple collars to routinely swap out to reduce wear on any one collar.
How to use our collars + Care instructions
-All collars are created to be durable but cotton fabric collars will wear/fade/fray with prolonged use.
-I highly recommend hand washing all collars to prolong its life. Canvas collars MUST be hand washed. Lay flat all collars to air dry - do not machine dry.
-Always check your collar for signs of wear. Our collars are not meant for heavy pullers, tie-outs, as a training aid or for extremely heavy duty purposes.
-Remove cotton fabric collars from your pup before swimming, getting dirty, etc. All of these uses will cause your collar to wear, fray and fade over time.
-Canvas & fabric collars are not suitable for salt water use. Salt water will fade/wear the material and metal will begin to corrode.
-Spot clean flowers and bow ties as needed.
