I’ve got a review of some fun accessories for dogs, and a giveaway of a $50 Gift Certificate to Hot Dog Collars! Could you use some fun accessories for your dog, perhaps a personalized collar? It’s the start of the holiday season, and maybe you would like to give a dog a nice gift? Read through my review, and enter to win in the giveaway widget!
My GBGV Life received the Hot Dog Collars products in this post to review. My GBGV Life receives no additional benefits for barking about Hot Dog Collars products or the company. The opinions in this review are the honest opinion of My GBGV Life. Hot Dog Collars is not responsible for the contents of this post.
I was recently contacted by Hot Dog Collars to review a few of their products.ย I received a personalized collar, ID tag holder, and a leash. Don’t think they only have collars because of their company name. Hot Dog Collars has all kinds of fun accessories for dogs, such as toys, beds, bowls, and much more! Not only is Hot Dog Collars a worldwide leader in online pet accessories, their mission of “happy dogs and happy owners” carries on through their new RUFF (Rescue Us For Freedom) program.

When my package arrived, I found three plush squeaky stuffed toys from their product selection. I think I had mentioned there are three of us dogs at my house and the toys were a bonus. The squeaker toys were perfect for my in house toy tester, Bailie.
Halloween was just days away, and Bailie seemed to know that meant it was time to test the Halloween stuffies! We couldn’t get a shot of her with the Frankenstein toy, but she loved running around with the Boo Squeaker toy!
Have you heard the story of the three little pigs? How they huffed, and puffed? I think we caught Bailie and squeaky pig in one of the big huffs! There appeared to be a strong wind in the living room at the time this photo was taken! No matter what the weather conditions were, Bailie is truly enjoying her new squeaky toys!
The collar and leash I chose happen to be from their Yellow Dog Design line.
For a collar, I chose the Personalized Fall Leaves Dog Collar. My sisters and I often share collars, so getting one personalized with only my name on it would limit it to only being worn by me. I decided to personalize it with GBGV so Bailie and I could both wear it.
I love the way it came out! The colors are great, the GBGV is really easy to read, the material is nice and sturdy too! This collar will look great on me and on Bailie, but personally, I think it looks best on me!
For the leash, I opted for the Checkerboard Braided Rope Leash, 48 inches long from Yellow Dog Design.
It doesn’t really match the collar, but I wear a lot of black/white/red collars and it will look sharp with those! My mom loves the soft feel of it.
Mom likes to change our collars every two to four weeks, which means we have to switch the tags over each time too. We have heard about clips for tags, but never tried one which is why I ordered the Rubit CURVE Dog Tag Clip.
I switched my tags over to the Rubit clip and clipped it on my new collar. It works like a charm and I think it looks great too! No more breaking fingernails trying to switch my tags over. (My tags are not from Hot Dog Collars)
Now I have a new collar, a new tag clip and a leash, time to put the package together! Looking good and ready for a walk! Hot Dog Collars has so many fun accessories for dogs, it is really hard to choose only a few items. What products to you think your dogs would like best? Would you go with a personalized collar?

those are some cute things they make – we have a similar clip on out harnesses that we got in Petco and love being able to swap them easily
Mom hates switching our tags around, but this makes it so easy!
We just got new collars, but would love a customized SlimDoggy collar. Hope we win!
A dog can never have too many collars! They have lots of other things too if you win. You don’t have to get a collar but a SlimDoggy one would be fun.
I like the idea… happy dogs AND happy owners, that sounds great! My momma loves round leashes, she always wraps it around ther hand… and then… well ya know… she is priceless on that front :o)
We have all kinds of leashes for different things, but this one feels real good in Mom’s paw she says.
That must have been some wind blowing through your living room! The mom just ordered my Christmas outfit from Up Country, but we will check out HotDog Collars. that would be a fun win! XOXO C
We have a variety of collars, but Hot Dog Collars also has toys, beds, tags and stuff, so the $50 would go towards anything.
I really messed up. The mom was checking on a funeral notice and I did the control/paste. OOPS! Sparkle the PBGV
I was wondering where that came from! No big deal, I knew it was you.
Cool stuff Emma! We don’t like the removable tag clips though, tried one from another place and it’s just too long and dangly. Mom just makes dad move the tags with pliers when we get a new collar (oh he loves that!) or we get a new tag for a new collar, or just an engraved collar. Love Dolly
I remember your dangling problem. It makes me feel tall. You could win the gift certificate and buy something else.
Diggin the stylin new look.
Thank you. We are all set for the November theme.
This is great especially with Christmas coming up! I love that you put GBGV on your collar!
It is perfect for the holiday season. Now when people say “what?” when Mom says GBGV, I can say look at the collar.
I really love your new collar and leash! Your widget entry form is working fine. โบ
It usually does, but sometimes if there is an issue it is a good backup so I try to post the link when I use promo simple.
Your collar is so cool! I’ve just been thinking that Shiner could use a new collar too. I do like the personalized ones.
They definitely have a large selection!
What a great looking Fall collar and it’s great that you can share it with Bailie!
Smileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
We each have some things of our own, but we do share a lot. It is more fun that way.
Hi Emma! My collar is a HotDog Collar. We had it personalized with my name and Ma’s phone number. It is great. And we love the Rubit connector for the tags. Don’t you think it makes changing collars so much easier?!? You both look great in the orange collar!
Oz
I definitely know it makes changing collars easier. We have these rings our tags are on and Mom always chips her nail polish trying to get the ring on and off the collar and then three times since we all change together. Really happy with what we got!
So cute!
I love my new collar for fall.
We have a few of these cool collars
Lily & Edward
A dog needs a good wardrobe I think!
WOW! Those collars sure do look mighty snazzy!
My sisters and I love them, but my kitties prefer to run around naked and they are not at all ashamed of that ๐
You are looking good, Emma! We won a gift certificate to Hot Dog Collars a while back, and we got a very nice collar for Luke and harness for Cricket. We got toys too, which are no longer around, but they were inexpensive so that was fine. Cricket wears her harness all the time and we still love the collar for Luke when we’re not doing something seasonal with those (right now everyone is wearing fall collars).
You know we are all about fashion here, so this collar will go in the closet after Thanksgiving when the Christmas collars come out. A good wardrobe is important and that is great Cricket has found a good harness.
Wow! You girls got an awesome haul! I really like your personalized collar! ๐
I got everything I need to go for a walk. Maybe I can go for a walk alone with Mom for a change since my sisters didn’t get new walking supplies.
Those look great. Matt needs a new personalized collar. He likes to mangle tags ๐
My lab cousin Lena mangles her tags too. My sisters and I have never done anything with our tags, they just hang there forever and ever.
Neat stuff. Cocoa seems to go through leashes and collars and harnesses at amazing speeds ๐
Wow, we never “go through” ours, we have a huge collection so we can all be fashionable at all times. A girl needs the right collar for every occasion.
Pretty cool stuff!
They have a lot of great items for dogs even besides the products I have to review.
I’m kind of obsessed with collars, so I would love to win the gift card! It looks like the company has a ton of cute things. Looks like Bailie really enjoyed the toys!
Bailie loves the toys! She is our toy girl. You know we are nuts for collars, we can never have too many. Good luck!
I love the idea of a customized collar. Our dogs don’t wear collars, but I bet they have other items that I could have fun customizing.
I guess you have a doggy nudist colony! We only take ours off at night when we go to bed. Mom likes us to be wearing proper ID at all times even though we are also chipped. We get a nice neck massage at night when our collars come off too.
Those look like pawsome collars! And of course, you rock the look!
–Wags (and purrs) from Life with Dogs and Cats
Thank you. Fall is my season and my colors.
What cute stuff! You look great in the new collar! The toys are really cute too. Love the “windy indoors” photo. I’ll let others enter for the chance to win since I just got Rita a new collar the other day. Good luck to everypawdy. Great giveaway!
Mom has no idea how that windy photo happened but we found it funny.
Bailie, we LOVED that squeaky pig photo!!!
We thought it was pretty funny. Not sure how it happened but it is a good one.
what a cool collar, love it and love your name you put on it. I also really like the tag holder. I’m looking for a easy one that will stay on.
With little ones, you never know what will stay on. I once bit off all of Katie’s tags and we never found them. We love the ease of transferring the tags from collar to collar with this clip.
Callie and Shadow used to destroy each other’s collars when they played out in the yard years ago. So I got them each a good leather collar and there were no more missing collars/tags. As they got older, I switched them back to the webbing collars. Time for new ones though for both Shadow and Ducky.
We have never damaged our collars. I did lose Katie’s tags once and we never found them. I ripped them off somewhere playing around.
My FB like of HotDog Collars says confirmed, but there’s no green check mark and only 3 entries tallied. I’ll try again later.
Hmmm…I checked the widget details and people have done the Facebook like today, but I don’t see you on the list. I’m sorry, I guess try again later and if there are still issues, let me know.
Okay. Thanks.
Look at that great stuff!!! I am loving these!
แฆ husky hugz แฆ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
They have lots of great stuff.
Those are nice collars!
They have a ton of fun products.
I had a friend who had over 30 collars for her dogs! I love the idea of matching leash and collars, except my guys are on a harness now, so I’d probably go with new leashes or some squeakies for Christmas. Your collar is beautiful!!
Thank you. My sisters and I have over 60 collars in our closet now, but hey, that is really only 20 a piece. We need to look fashionable! New leashes are always good and Bailie is all for the squeaky toys!
