Track trends not only for themselves but also for their pets. For a long time, the leather personalized dog collar has been the leader in demand, relevance, and popularity. In practice, you can note their excellent properties, thanks to which all the necessary functions of this accessory are performed.
Over the long history of leashes, they have transformed considerably.
The first mentions of a leash were found in the Arabian Desert in an engraving. There were drawings of walking and hunting with dogs about 8000 years ago. But the exact date of the appearance of this accessory is unknown, as historians put forward different versions. Some ancient collars come from 3 millennia B.C.
How have collars changed since ancient times?
Leashes are often associated with ancient Egypt. The fact is that the Egyptians loved not only cats, but also dogs, and in those days already used prototypes of today’s accessories for pets. Dogs of the privileged populations in some states were distinguished not only by their appearance but also through the use of decorated collars. As early as the 17th century, accessories were personalized, but it was not the pet’s name that was written on them, but the owner’s. Even leather goods then were decorated with stones and other decorations, which are not suitable for everyone.
To date, changes can be seen in:
- the use of higher quality materials and fittings;
- a variety of designs, including the ability to choose colors, lettering, etc.
- the ability to quickly get a personalized collar.
Today, the main factor is functionality. Pet owners value comfort more than anything else and make sure that the pet has little or no sense of the collar on him. Every Internet user can compare what flight of fancy was used in the creation of ancient collars. Nevertheless, laconicism is in trend now, but manufacturers are trying to please all customers, so they offer a wide range and the opportunity to get an exclusive according to their requirements.
Conclusion
The history of collars is quite interesting, as is the process of their creation in modern times. The trend regarding the use of this accessory will remain in the future, as the owner of the dog or other pets cannot do without it. The fact is that the collar performs several useful functions, which allow not only to identify the pet at the right time but also to control it.

It has been tested by time and millions of dogs, so you’ll only see the practicality of an accessory made of such material in practice. They were used even in the Middle Ages when they took dogs out hunting. Everyone knows that in such a case the main thing is functionality and comfort, which was easily achieved.
