Today we review Blueberry Pet Martingale Collar.
Blueberry Pet is a pet brand that has over 300 products to its name. The products are of different kinds and designs.
All Blueberry Pet products are designed in Asia, Europe and the United States of America. However, the actual production happens in China, where you can, apparently, have reduced manufacturing costs.
Now to the collar. For relevant information on what a martingale collar is, check out this article on dog training collar. Without further ado, let’s get into the review proper.

Who Can Wear The Blueberry Pet Martingale Collar?
This collar is of two kinds. One is plain, while the other is customized. The plain kind comes in four sizes: extra-small, small, medium and large. While the customized kind comes in three sizes: small, medium and large. However, the measurements are the same.
Now, extra-small adjusts between 7.5 and 10 inches, has a 3/8 inch width while the small loop is measured at 3.5 inches. Small adjusts between 12 and 16 inches, has a 5/8 inch width with a small loop that is measured at 4.5 inches.
Medium adjusts between 14.5 and 20 inches, has a ¾ inch width and a 5-inch small loop. While large adjusts between 18 and 26 inches, has a 1-inch width and a 5.5-inch small loop.
Features Of The Blueberry Pet Martingale Collar
1. Material
This collar is made of nylon. This should withstand different things, from pressure to weather elements and even washing. The collar can, to a decent extent, hold in whoever is wearing it without tearing up.
The material is breathable. This means that it allows the wearer enough space to pant and breathe freely without choking.
2. Design
Now, if you’re familiar with a martingale, you should know that there are two loops. The big loop is the main collar that goes around your dog’s neck. While the small loop is the martingale loop that determines how tight the collar can get. Both those loops are made of the same material, nylon.
This collar has no designs or patterns on it. However, it comes in a variety of colors. Also, the brand logo is actually on the inside of the collar. This is probably good news for those dog parents who do not like huge logos on their dogs’ collars.
The stitches are properly made and covered. There shouldn’t be stray threads popping out. Also, the collar shouldn’t easily fray and fall apart.
This doesn’t come with any kind of clasp. What that means is that you’ll have to slip the collar down your dog’s neck. It is adjustable, so you could adjust, fit and adjust again.
3. Customization
We’ve already mentioned that this Martingale Collar comes in two kinds. The customized kind is the same as the plain kind (material and design). The only difference is that the customized kind caries information on itself.
The customization is done using embroidery. You should know, though, that embroidery has a habit of getting loose eventually. ‘Eventually’ usually varies according to brand and collar. And for the Blueberry Pet Martingale Collar, ‘eventually’ is a good enough long way away.
You are allowed to choose the text you want to be embroidered on the collar. You are also allowed to choose 1 out of the 11 font color options available to you.
4. Tri Glide And Leash Ring
This collar comes with a tri-glide for adjustability. The tri-glide is made of plastic. However, in working the tri-glide, take into account the fact that the collar is going to be tightened.
Make sure that you adjust the collar in such a way that it is not too free when it is lax and is also not too constricting when it is tightened.
The leash ring is made of metal. There are three rings on this collar and all of them are D rings. However, it is only one that you want to attach your dog’s leash to and that is the one at the end of the martingale loop. the other two are used to attach the martingale loop to the main loop.
Is The Blueberry Pet Martingale Collar User-Friendly?
This collar is as user-friendly as a martingale can get. You actually need no instructions to operate it.
However, a martingale is a training device. And so, like we always recommend, make sure your veterinarian or dog trainer knows you want to use this collar.
Also, do not leave your dog unattended when he is wearing this collar. The collar could get caught on something and end up choking him.
Pros Of The Blueberry Pet Martingale Collar
1. Options
We like that Blueberry Pet offers options with this collar. That is, you can decide to go with the plain collar or have yours customized. Basically, just do whatever rocks your boat.
2. Durable
This collar is also decently durable. It does its best to hold in whoever is wearing the collar without falling apart.
3. Water Safe
It also does quite well in water. It can be worn in the rain, in the pool or even washed without having issues. The material has no issues with water while the metal rings are coated to protect it against rust.
Cons Of The Blueberry Pet Martingale Collar
The fact that this collar comes without a buckle might put some people off. And this is because one will need to keep adjusting to put on and put off the collar.
Alternative Options To The Blueberry Pet Martingale Collar
Is the Blueberry Pet Martingale Collar not for you? Check out these other options:
Option With A Buckle
Max And Neo Martingale Dog Collar
If you would rather have a martingale with a buckle, the Max And Neo Martingale Dog Collar could be a good choice.
It costs a bit more than our featured collar. However, that could be due to the fact that the Max And Neo Martingale Dog Collar is made with reflective stitching. Or that it has a buckle. Or probably because it features a small plastic tag for small accessories.
Whatever the reason, we think you should head over to this review to get as much information as you need on this collar.
Option With Patterns
Country Brook Martingale Dog Collar
If you think plain collars are boring, you might like the Country Brook Martingale Dog Collar. It has designs on it, of the paisley flower kind.
The collar also comes in different colors, five of them. Aside that, the Country Brook Martingale Dog Collar is basically the same as our featured collar. Well, except the fact that this one costs more. Want more information on this collar? Head on over to this review.
Opposite Spectrum
Cetacea Chain Martingale Dog Collar
The Cetacea Chain Martingale Dog Collar is our opposite spectrum because the martingale loop is a chain, unlike the other collars on this list.
The Cetacea Chain Martingale Dog Collar has a plastic buckle and the main collar loop is made of nylon. The collar does not have any designs on it. However, it comes in different colors with one of them being a rainbow.
