Some Yorkies have skin as delicate as their reputation suggests — thin, sensitive, and quick to redden where gear rubs. For those dogs, the standard stiff collar is a non-starter, and the Blueberry Pet Essentials Busy Bees Designer Collar is the answer.
The webbing is the story here: noticeably more pliable than standard nylon, it drapes on the neck rather than sitting stiffly against it. That flexibility eliminates the pressure points and edge-rub that irritate delicate skin, making it the comfort-first option for sensitive individuals. Think of the Classic line as the structured everyday collar and this as the gentle alternative for dogs that need a softer touch.
The Busy Bees pattern is pure charm — a cheerful designer print that photographs beautifully and stands out at the dog park. The XS hardware is properly scaled for tiny necks, so there is no oversized buckle weighing down a small dog, and the sizing is tuned for the smallest breeds.
This collar is for Yorkies, Chihuahuas, Maltese, and other petite dogs with sensitive skin — the pups whose owners want cute without compromise. If your small dog has ever shown irritation from a standard collar, start here.
Machine wash cold and air dry to keep the print bright. Delicate-skin approved, style included.
Check the listing's size chart — XS collars in this line typically fit roughly 8–12 inch necks, but always measure your own dog's neck snugly with a soft tape rather than guessing by breed. Toy breeds vary a lot in neck size.
No — designer Blueberry Pet collars use the same sturdy nylon webbing as their standard line; only the print is decorative. It's fine for everyday walks, though like any collar, inspect the stitching and buckle periodically.
The busy-bees pattern is printed on the outer webbing; the side against your dog's neck is smooth nylon. It shouldn't cause irritation any more than a plain collar — if your dog has known contact sensitivities, introduce any new collar gradually and check the neck after walks.
XS is made for toy breeds — Chihuahuas, Yorkies, Maltese, toy poodles. Just confirm the buckle and D-ring aren't disproportionately heavy for a tiny dog, and keep the two-finger fit rule even on the smallest necks.
Hand-wash in cold water with mild soap and air-dry. Machine washing fades printed designs faster, and heat from dryers can warp the webbing — cold hand-washing keeps the bees bright.
