The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar is a creation of Pupteck, a company that creates and markets stuff that caters to the needs of different pets (basically dogs and cats).
Pupteck seems to be very interested in spicing up and adding a little fun in the production of its stuff. Granted, there are a number of its products that are as basic as could be. But a good number of them have the ‘extra’ factor to them which led us to make the earlier assertion.
Anyway, the Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar, which we will be reviewing in this article, is one of its basic products. It actually comes in 2 packs of 6 and you can’t get it as a single collar.
In this review, we will be giving you relevant information on this collar to help you make an informed buying decision. Are you ready?

Who Can Wear The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar?
The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar is specifically for puppies of different sizes but specifically between few minutes to 8 weeks old. So, if you have an adult or senior dog, you should be looking somewhere else.
This puppy collar comes in two different sizes; small and medium. The small size adjusts between 7.5 and 10.2 inches while the medium size adjusts between 9 and 12 inches.
Features Of The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar
1. Material
The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar is made of nylon, and since this collar is made specifically for really young puppies, Pupteck made the collar quite comfortable.
Puppies are still trying to grow ‘thick skin’ so we have to be careful what we allow them to wear. But the Pupteck Puppy Collar does a good job of not causing the puppy any issues.
This collar is also really durable. You know puppies like to get their teeth on basically anything. So this collar was made to hold up against all the biting and pawing that is sure to happen.
Plus, it is also properly stitched — no stray thread lying around and the edges are properly finished. Definitely wouldn’t scratch on your dog’s sensitive skin.
Remember that we said this collar comes in 2 packs of 6 and that you can’t get it as a single product. This makes a total of 12 collars, which come in different colors.
The thing is, the Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar set was made to be a kind of identification collar for dog parents that have litters, or for breeders. Now though it doesn’t have provision for any information to be inscribed on it, there are enough colors for you to color-code your puppies.
Keep in mind, though, that some of the colors look kinda alike, and so might be difficult to differentiate say when they are covered in grime or such stuff.
The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar cleans easily, though. You can hand wash it or machine wash, no problem. Additionally, the colors don’t bleed.
2. Clasp, D Ring And Tri-Glide
The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar uses a plastic breakaway buckle for a clasp. So, you simply apply pressure and the buckle pops open.
This is actually a safe idea, especially when you’re dealing with puppies. Puppies tend to get a little rough when playing and tend to pull on their sibling’s collar not knowing when to stop. The breakaway buckle allows the collar to pop open before it becomes choking.
That the buckle is breakaway also means that it snaps and unsnaps pretty easily.
The D Ring is made of metal and is sewn into the collar for durability. Now a D Ring is usually used to hold a leash. But since you are dealing with puppies, you might not have need for a leash just yet.
In that case, you can hang your puppy’s ID tag on the D Ring. You could hang both an ID tag and a leash on the ID Ring if you must.
The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar is an adjustable collar which uses a tri-glide for adjustments.
3. Charts
We’ve mentioned a number times that our featured collar comes in 2 packs of 6 which makes a total of 12 collars. Now you won’t want to throw the pack away as the backs of the packs feature charts — two charts actually.
One chart allows you track your puppies’ daily and weekly weight gain by recording them on the chart. The other allows you record important birth information like time, gender, color, and weight.
There’s also a provision for you to record your puppies’ vaccination.
Is The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar User-Friendly?
Not only is this collar a basic collar, but it is also a breakaway. Breakaway collars are some of the easiest collars to work because of their easy buckles. So yes, the Pupteck Puppy Collar is user-friendly.
Pros Of The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar
1. Sturdy and durable enough to withstand pawing and chewing.
2. Breakaway buckle ensures the collar doesn’t constitute a choking hazard while puppies play.
3. Color Coding helps with puppy identification.
4. Features charts for keeping records.
Cons Of The Pupteck Breakaway Puppy Collar
1. Some of the colors are just too similar. For instance, there are two shades of light blue. When those collars are covered by dirt or grime they will hardly be distinguishable.

People are actually happy with this product. It offers different colors for identification and the record chart thing helps too. However, a good number would have liked for more diversity with the colors.
