During the spring, warmer weather lures both owners and pets into the great outdoors. And for your pet's seasonal debut at the park – or even your backyard – a spiffy new collar or leash can make all the neighborhood dogs and cats green with envy.

Many pet collars and leashes on the market are not only fashionable, but also functional – offering flea and tick protection or built-in waste bag dispensers. So this spring, whether your dog is ready to hit the beach or your cat is ready to terrorize birds, our friends at Zootoo rounded up some of their favorite collars and leashes to keep your pets chic and comfortable.


For an effective, all-natural way to keep bugs off your four-legged friend, try the Flea and Tick Collar from ecoPure Naturals. The cotton collar, which can be trimmed to fit your pet, comes with a concentrated solution made up of three active ingredients: castor oil, thyme oil, and clove oil. After wetting the collar with the all-natural mixture, you're ready to roll -- and your dog is ready to roll in the grass.


Made of lightweight but incredibly durable nylon rope, the Just-a-Cinch Combination Dog Leash and Collar from Ruff Wear lives up to its name in convenience and utility -- delivering two superb products in one. On trial outings, the Just-a-Cinch proved easy to slip on and off, and the rope's design was comfortable without cutting into our tester dog's neck. And the Just-a-Cinch is completely interwoven with reflective fibers in case your outdoor treks extend past sundown.

Do right by Mother Nature as well as have a stylin' pooch with Dublin Dog eco-Lucks collars and leashes. Each eco-Lucks collar is made from one and a half recycled plastic water bottles; each leash is made from two and a half recycled water bottles. The ink is water based and ecofriendly, and all products are made in the USA. Win, win, win!

And speaking of winning -- this week, one lucky Paw Nation reader will win the Dublin Dog eco-Lucks leash and collar in his or her choice of size (collars come in small, medium and large) and color/design (there are 11 from which to choose).

And the giveaway doesn't end there. The winner will also receive Dublin Dog's new ecominded dog toy, the Roxxter. Made from dog-safe, recyclable materials and available in three colors, the Roxxter is vanilla scented and, in addition to a treat chamber, has a counter-weighted roll to keep your furry friend fully engaged.
