Rocky wearing his Hiro + Wolf Collar:








Review: I really liked that the Hiro + Wolf Collar came in such a lovely packaging. It's so much nicer to open something that has ben packaged with care.
The Collar itself is very well made. It looks and feels very expensive and of high quality. I also really like the colour and it suits Rocky very well. For some reason the Emeral Green coloured Collars and Leashes have disappeared from the Hiro + Wolf website and I am not sure if this is permanently or just temporarily the case.
The only downside of the Hiro + Wolf Collar is that in the X-Small size it is quite bulky for small dogs. I think for Rocky is is just about right, but for a dog any smaller than Rocky (and he is a big example of a Chihuahua)  the collar would definitely be too chunky.
Overall, I am very happy with the Collar we have received from Hiro + Wolf and I especially love all three of the beautiful colour choices.
