Lupine Dog Collars

February 26, 2009

Alright, I'm boldly going where no writer has gone before- Dogs. Being the only writer on staff with a furry 4 legged friend, I was the only one who at the recent Salt Lake City Outdoor Retailer Show was super excited about walking by the Lupine Dog Products Booth. With a recently adopted 2 year old blue heeler/husky who feels it his job in life to eat absolutely EVERYTHING (see my review on the Smith Whisper Interlock Sunglasses and why I needed to purchase a new pair), Lupine's slogan caught my attention immediately: "Guaranteed EVEN if Chewed!" I made a beeline for their booth, and spent some time discussing their collars, harnesses and leads with an employee, and left with one of each for the Taz-man. After about a month of use, I can happily report that my lead and collar are still in one piece! Though Lupine guarantees their product for replacement even if chewed, it appears that their initial construction deters a lot of the need for that. My dog feels that the best way to hint at needing a walk is to pick up his leash, and carry it over to me. Constantly. Until he's outside! With a month of this, games of tug of war with the leash, and some anxiety induced collar-gnawing, they are both still intact! Bottom line- Lupine makes incredibly durable products and then is willing to warranty their product if you're new best friend chews it up! A company willing to warranty for something that certainly isn't a product malfunction? I'm impressed. They clearly have a team full of people who knows dogs and dog lovers alike. Also, to our dog-loving readers out there: look for more canine-friendly reviews in the next few months! Taz and I will be testing out some new dog packs, toys and other products aimed at the outdoor enthusiast who brings their dog with them when they head out! Check 'Em Out!
