Have you ever wondered about the durability of our custom, handmade collars? Fusion By Design gets this question a lot, so we decided to share the results of our years' long test! In this video, we take a close look at two of our very own Fusion By Design collars: one, a seasoned trooper at 8 years old, and the other, a still-going-strong 6-year-old. Both collars have been in daily use with our dogs.

As you'll see in the video, with proper care, a Fusion By Design leather collar can truly become a lifelong accessory for your dog. The latigo and bridle leathers we use are built to endure, but just like any well-loved belonging, it's important to keep an eye on your collar for signs of wear and tear.

Is the leather cracking or fraying? Are the stitching or buckles showing any signs of weakness? By regularly inspecting your collar, you can ensure it remains safe and comfortable for your dog.

Ultimately, the decision of when to replace a collar depends on the level of wear and tear it shows. If it's still strong and secure, there's no reason it can't keep being your dog's everyday collar. But if you see any concerning signs, prioritizing your pet's safety means getting a new collar.

So, head over to the video and see for yourself the amazing durability of Fusion By Design leather collars! And remember, with a little TLC, your dog's collar could be their cherished companion for years to come.
