The brass ring has held up perfectly through muddy hikes and weekly swims—no rust or green tarnish after two months. The fixed ring design sits snug against her neck without flipping, and the adjustability made it easy to get a secure fit on her thick-coated neck.
I’ve had this collar on my dog for a few weeks now, and the naval brass ring hasn’t shown a single scratch despite all the rubbing against trees and fences. It’s nice that the fixed ring doesn’t dangle and make noise when he’s walking.
