Is the strip over the padding real leather? We bought a "leather" collar elsewhere, and the strip peeled within two weeks. Turned out to be pleather.

I've had the collar for 6 months on my very active, water loving and mud loving lab and its definitely passed the test on quality. the leather still looks great and it still has the faint smell of leather which was very definite when I first received it.

It is leather on leather. The collar has been abused as far as getting soaked in both salt and fresh water and has held up quite well.

hmmm... I cant say for sure that it real leather or not, but it is of high quality material and certainly looks/feels like it. My dog has been wearing this for 6 months and it has not peeled. But, he is also a pug and very lazy so not much activity going on with him :-) Hope that helps!

I've used this collar hard and sometimes in water. It's real leather and hold up really well. I do oil it occasionally. I love this collar.

Hi, yes the leather over the padding is real leather. It's fairly thick and nice quality as well. We are still very pleased with the collar.

Yes it is however we switched to the Perri's solid leather collar because the padding was a little thick and our lab could slip the collar. The solid leather worked better, seems stronger, & I think looks better

I do not think it's real leather. Already tearing. Just got it in February.

No, but after purchasing two other collars before this one, it has been fabulous! Had it for several months and absolutely worth the extra cost of others! You won't be disappointed!

I believe it's pebbled leather. It is VERY well made. Because it's pebbled it doesn't show fingerprints and the leather is so heavy I don't believe with normal wear and tear it would tear. I don't have the original packaging but I rarely buy synthetic leather. Good lunch with your decision. : )

Not sure what PU stands for but it is "pleather" as in fake leather. Very durable I have noticed.

The preventic collar is not a sturdy collar & not meant to be used as one. The buckle does not look or feel sturdy. I remove the preventic collar & use a heavy duty collar when I walk my dog (65Kg Rott). It is very important tht the preventic collar is touching your dog's skin so if the regular collar is preventing this then u hve to remove it. My dog's neck and head is rather huge, so when he wears his reg collar & the tick collar, the tick collar doesnt touch his skin. This product however does do its job very well to prevent ticks.

I'm really not certain if it really is leather but it does feel like it is and works beautifully although does not smell like leather. It has held up wonderfully and it is used a lot. Good luck if you purchase!

No it is not Leather. Had mine for two years and the vinyl outer layer is peeling off of the cotton backing and now looks like crap.

It's definitely not real leather. I would say its more of a PU leather/faux leather. I've had it now for a couple of months and I really like it.

I'd call the leather 'real enough'; pretty decent, actually, considering. My belt does looks just like the picture and does have the stitching/squares you've mentioned, but what might not be obvious from the pictures is that it's actually composed of two stitched-together layers: there's a contiguous belt, with the squares stitched on top of the base layer. Both layers are of about equal thickness, and pretty sturdy. (I'd rate the whole belt as pretty sturdy, in fact, though not especially supple.) I've been using it for elaborate costumes for adults, I'd have no qualms giving it to a kid, other than potentially size.

I am not sure. It doesn't look cheap like most imitation leather items do. I thought it said it was leather when I purchased it. It looks nice, I think you'd be pleased with it.

I didn't notice a smell. It is very pretty but I find it stiff. I think it looks uncomfortable on my dogs. I was disappointed with the quality of the collar. I ordered 2 and haven't used them.

That is a hard question because new leather is appealing to most and it has that smell more so than chemical however, if I were you I'D find a furniture store that carries it or something similar and let the nose be your guide. I will say that the odor was rather mild.

I'm not sure if it's genuine leather however it's not plastic either. All I can say is I had it for some time now and it wears very well and it looks really professional. It was a great buy and would highly recommend the purchase .

It's not plastic or fabric. I can't say that it is pure leather -- "Pleather" might be a more accurate description. At any rate, it does not appear cheap.

I seriously doubt it is real leather. I bought it & am fairly certain it is faux leather/vinyl. It is made well, so we kept it, but I feel the price is too high for vinyl.

It is NOT made of leather...but, as far as 'pleather' goes, it is beautiful and very well made. Love mine and have given others as gifts...
