Got the Bubblegum Pink on a Black Lab -- everywhere we go, people say "what a great looking collar." (My Lucy is a Princess after all.)
I haven't had a problem with the stars coming off -- however, grass does get caught under them. Collar seems very strong - she has broken others.
Ordered one of these collars with the stars for one of our dogs. Within days one of the stars on the collar was gone. Just hoping it isn't in the stomach of one of her playmates she wrestles with.
