The premium collar cost me a chunk. But the finish and clasp did feel worth it for Milo. The budget one did its job for Bean’s photo ops, but I don’t trust it for strong pulls.

You’ll find vetted companions who can elevate a casual stroll or patio drink into an unforgettable, dog-friendly outing.
Final Call: Would I Buy Again?
For Milo, yes. The 20 mm Cuban link from a good maker stays in our rotation. It’s tough, it looks clean, and it hasn’t let go once.
For Bean, I’d go slimmer—maybe 10–12 mm, and with a better clasp. He’s small. He likes comfort first.
You know what? A Cuban link dog collar is like a nice watch. You don’t wear it for a mud run. But when you want your dog to look sharp and feel special, it does the trick—and it turns heads, every single time.
