All of my favorite dog collars have been from Paco. They are so beautiful and well-made, I always felt like they were worth the cost. Now I'm on the other side of the country, and one of my dogs lives to destroy collars, but I miss the days of having just that extra dimension of gorgeousness. read more

Paco Collars - So many collars - Pet Stores Near Me - Berkeley, California

Just wanted to add that I'm once again a Paco collar customer as my new little mini Pit Bull (aka SBT) now has a beautiful collar. I get so many comments regarding how it suits her, and it does. This was my first all online purchase, as I previously went into the store to have Ana and team help. The online purchase experience was great as well as there were a number of choices to be made and I had questions in the process. read more

Not like Paco Collars needs another glowing review, but here I am anyway.... I'd lived down the street from Paco before I had a dog, and always used to walk by and think "what the hell kind of store sells JUST dog collars" (and I'm obviously not the only one, since their sign cheekily answered my inner thoughts). Finally, I decided to look on their website to see what they offered, and was blown away by how gorgeous all their offerings were. As much as I'd mentally professed indignation before, after looking, I told myself that once I got a dog, it was going to get a Paco. About a year later, I was in the application process for a dog down at Berkeley Animal Care Services, while Paco had a Labor Day sale going on. I bit the bullet and ordered the collar before I even had the dog home and crossed fingers I wasn't jinxing my adoption. Fast forward to today. Six years later, I and my dog have been across the country and back on hiking, camping, and swimming trips, 3 moves, 3 years of rough and tumble dog daycare, and countless other adventures, all in her Paco. Throughout all this, we consistently get compliments on how beautiful her collar is and how unique/well made it is. Maybe 2 or 3 stones have fallen out (or been pulled out by wrestling dogs playing collar-grab), and each time Paco more than happily repaired it for me. We've never had a bigger repair than that, but I have friends who have and they truly stand by their guarantees without issue. At one point the stones in her collar were blue, but we fancied a change to pink- that was easy as pie too! Thank you, Paco, for making gorgeous collars that are both beautiful and durable. I'm totally a lifelong convert and recommend you guys to all the dog people in my life... and am waiting for the day I cave in and splurge on that Giant Hoshi ;) read more

Paco Collars - Scarlett's simple but pretty collar, 6 years down the line! - Pet Stores Near Me - Berkeley, California

Few things bring me more joy than revisiting a 5-star place four years later and finding that it's still a 5-star place. Paco Collars is that place. Were my dog the type to sport a collar I'd likely spring for one of Paco's. Even then though, I'd be adding a worry to my day: in addition to fearing someone might steal my dog I'd feel added angst worrying that they'd also steal her collar. These gorgeous collars are theft-worthy though I don't endorse such behavior. What brought me back to Paco's was the same thing that brought me there to begin with: a leather belt or rather, 2 leather belts. Four years hence and one belt had lost some of its bling and what remained was destroying the waistband of my jeans. The other belt had a different issue, completely leather-related. Both of these concerns were resolved on the spot, in about 20 minutes for what I found to be a reasonable charge but anyone can do that in theory. It was the way it was done that speaks to the attitude of the place and the service level of its staff. If I look up "best in class service" somewhere I'd expect to see there the woman who helped me on this visit. For a price, Paco's Collars can custom make your dog a collar that will make her the envy of all. They can also make a beautiful belt. Basically, if it's leather and studded, they can make it to your specifications and they'll do so with the most charming of attitudes. It's such a pleasure to handle hand-crafted leatherwork that I'm sorry I can't think of anything else to have the Paco's staff make for me. I can't think of anything, but perhaps you can and now you know where to go to get it done. Five stars again, four years later? Indeed. read more

I ordered a custom collar for my big guy from Paco Collars and they did not disappoint. I emailed back and forth with them about designs and actually changed my mind several times during the design process and they were great. The collar itself is absolutely amazing quality and looks even better in person - I constantly get compliments on it. I know this is the last collar I'll need to buy as it will hold up and I couldn't be more happy with it. read more

I have the great fortune of living just down the street fro Paco Collars world headquarters. I love seeing what I call "Paco Dogs", as their collars are a reflection of the ridiculous love for dogs that we have around here (as it should be!). My own dog's head is smaller than his neck, so no Paco Collar for him. However, when his leather leash broke (one that has been in the family for about 20 years now), I could finally make him a "Paco Dog" because Laur charged me just a tiny bit to fix it for me, adding a touch of understated Lone Star bling. My dog trotted out of the shop with his disproportionately small head held high. He's a Paco Dog now. read more

We were lucky to be gifted a Paco Collar in the past and knew our next one would from them. We recently upgraded to a new GPS tracker for our dog which is built into the ugliest collar. I contacted Paco and asked if they could make a custom collar. They provided numerous options for us. The COVID 19 shelter in place took place before we could pick up the collar, but they shipped it right to our house! I love the way it turned out. It's beautiful with great craftsmanship. We get a lot of compliments on Duke's new collar. read more

Words can't express how thankful we are for this. Amazing company, amazing people. Also, I love that whenever I see a dog wearing a Paco, I know exactly what company made their collar. Like true art, you know who the artist is. Amazing collars; worth every penny. read more

All time favorite place for leather dog collars! Handcrafted and customized, this will be our second collar for our beloved fur babies. The collars will definitely become heirlooms and will be loving passed on when they are no longer needed. Our 120 lbs Rottie use to run to us when we took this comfy collar out to hit the town.

I have been dreaming of these collars for over 2 years. And today, I had the most wonderful in person experience there. I took all three of my rescue dogs into Paco today for some new bling!!! I was completely over whelmed with the wonderful selection of sizes, widths, designs, studs, colors and combinations you can choose from. A wonderful associate named, Yovanny sat down and spent over 2 hours with me helping me construct the perfect design and fit for my 3 different sized dogs. He had tremendous patience and interacted well with my "Muttley Crew". These collars also come with a lifetime gaurentee. If a stone or stud falls out, they will fix it at no extra charge. If you live out of the area, I also heard they will pay shipping on repairs too. If you are nuts about your dog. And are in the Berkeley area, then you must check these guys out!!! These guys will custom make the collars of your dreams!!!!! read more

It's difficult to find parking.The collars are pricey but it's all WORTH IT in the end. These collars are guaranteed for life and they even offer cleaning services to make it look swanky and new after your doggy rolls in the mud and plays at the beach. The collars are sturdy and you an tell that they are handcrafted with pride. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. You can tell that they really care about their work and that they treat the collars like an artist would with his masterpiece. The best selling point for me is that they will fix the collar for free if it ever breaks (normal use of course!) and that they will turn the collar into a human bracelet once your doggie goes to heaven (for free!!!). I love how they have so many choices and I especially dig the blingy collars! They will make a collar from scratch if you find one in their stash that is not the right size for your beloved pup. For the bargain hunters out there, they have a bin where you can negotiate a price. These collars on sale are good but they're made by trainees so they're not up to their quality control standards, but I think they said they still guarantee those collars and will still repair them even if they broke. Also, another cool thing about these collars is that many people recognize them. Hubby and I were walking around Berkeley and people kept stopping us to say "Hey! Paco Collar!" That clearly shows you that you're buying from a very reputable business. People always comment on how gorgeous the collar looks on our Misha. I'm even thinking of getting The Kippy one since they do make cat collars. read more

Paco Collars - bad ass collar for one bad ass puppy - Pet Stores Near Me - Berkeley, California

When I got Bubba, one of the first things I did was buy him a custom Paco collar and matching leash. He sported it for the rest of his life and I never needed to buy him a collar again, because of the amazing quality that goes into their craftsmanship. When your pet passes away, the company offers to craft a bracelet or pendant as a keepsake out of your pet's collar (they do this free of charge, and put priority on your piece over all their other orders). I received Bubba's custom leash back in the mail today in the form of this beautiful bracelet, and now I always have him close to me. Paco Collars is an amazing company that supports Pit Bull rescue, fosters animals and are not only champions of style and the human/animal bond, they truely care about their customers and I would recommend them to any friend that loves their pets. I know one thing from my whole experience with Paco Collars; they've got me as a customer for life. read more

Paco Collars - Bubba's custom collar and matching bracelet they custom made. - Pet Stores Near Me - Berkeley, California

All of my dogs have been getting Paco collars ever since the time Paco was around, and they are the best quality and have the best designs of any collars my dogs have ever had. Two of my dogs have custom-designed collars which they have received many of compliments on. I have a matched harness/leash for one, which is very attractive, very well-made, and practical. A couple of my dogs have knocked out the some of the studs that decorate the collar (because they are very rowdy) and so I've taken them in to get the studs/stones replaced. The repair of the collar is always covered for the lifetime of the dog. The last person who took care of me there was named Kara, and she was as sweet, personable and helpful as she possibly could be. Since the arrival of Paco collars on the scene, I've seen many others try to imitate them, but if you compare the quality of the leather and other materials used, the attention to detail, the extra nice finish and the obvious care and skill that goes into making these, you won't want to buy your best pal a collar anywhere else. Totally worth every penny! read more

I am bursting with fruit flavor like you wouldn't believe! After chomping at the bit waiting for our resident breezy to reach a respectable size, we finally deemed her ready for a Paco Collar. These collars will cost you a pretty penny but I can't stress enough, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. And if you are a fan of Paco Collars and Fetching Tags on Facebook, you'll be lucky to catch a sale as I did. Online shopping is available. However, I recommend visiting the shop to meet with Ana and her wonderful staff for not only a consult but to meet the resident X-Dog and one of the many dogs they foster. In addition to the many style of collars offered, you'll find that you can pick and choose various details such as leather color, gems and matching leads. Each piece is personal. Turnaround time is approx 2-3 weeks. When I picked up my dog's collar, I could not contain my giddiness. Marley's collar is downright brilliant. It's HOOD-RICH. PC - Thank you for tolerating my many name and tagline changes. The end product is MAGNIFICENT. read more

Many moons ago, I lived across the country with a newly-adopted puppy. I stumbled upon Paco Collars and was itching for my boy to be full-grown so I could get him his very own collar; we ordered one online as soon as he was ready. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine we would be able to visit, much less live within driving distance of the actual store. I've spent the last few years telling everyone about Paco -- about their amazing quality and customer service (which I had never even taken advantage of, only heard about, until today). I got into a rhythm pretty quickly, as this collar gets compliments and questions almost daily. "It's Paco, spelled like 'taco' with a 'p'" (can't even tell you how many times I've said this, haha). About a week ago, my pooch got attacked and lost a gem. One visit to Paco Collars' facebook page will reveal similar stories, where a dog went for their dog's throat, and the collar saved them. My boy's collar definitely took the brunt of the attack, but the fact that we ended up with a bite mark and missing crystal instead of my dog being injured is amazing. I decided to make a trip of it and check out the store in person. I always wanted to, and this was as good a reason as any. In a matter of seconds, our collar was fixed AND I was ushered into a little gated area where my boy could try on other collars (talk about temptation!). I'll stop my novella here, but I'll just say this -- if there is one company you ever buy your pet a collar from, please let it be Paco. These people are top-notch. Beyond top-notch, really. I am simultaneously writing a love note to my bank account and seeing if Santa will make a mid-year appearance...we fell in love with one of the collars we tested out today. :) read more

Great quality leather and studs! The people that work here are true artists that can really help you make up your mind when you're like me & very indecisive. Bringing a friend here helps too! They have many styles to choose from as well as the option to design your own collars. I love the custom tags they can do on the collar. Saves me from hearing clinking noise all around the house when Cali trots around. The tags do take extra time bc they send them to Fetching Tags, so just know if you want them you have to wait a little longer for your spankin new collar. The workers are very nice & accommodating. After we picked up Cali's collar, I wasn't sure if I was completely satisfied with the design without the back D-ring & they were willing to work with me to get it just right. Ended up leaving it as is, and have been very happy with Cali's collar. Would recommend to anyone who wants a great quality collar that's different from what you get in most pet stores. read more

Paco Collars is THE BEST. I created my custom collar for my dog, Ramona, 6 years ago and it recently started coming apart (mostly from rough-housing with her new brother). I got in touch with Paco Collars and they had me send the collar to them and a few weeks later I received it fixed and completely free of charge! The collars come with a lifetime warranty and was informed all fixes are free of charge. I am so impressed with the quality of the collar and the customer service I received. Thank you, Paco Collars! read more

Finally bit the bullet and bought my 16 months miniature long-haired dachshund Sidney a leash and collar. They were very welcoming and helped me try on a bunch of looks and sizes to create the perfect collar and perfect leash, that I could strap on when hiking. Oh, and we finally decided on a design to match my ring! It certainly feels like a lifetime investment, and it's nice to support such a lovely, local business...There's also something sweet about seeing Paco's portrait, ashes and retired collars up at the register. Their materials are top notch, and Sidney seems very happy with the purchase. Thank you Paco Collars. read more

I adopted a dog who had a Paco Collar on him a couple of years ago. Back then, they were really helpful in helping me fix the missing adornments from that collar, so I was already impressed with their quality and service. Fast forward 2.5 years.... I have another 'foster failure' joining our already large four-legged household and decided he need some bling. Off to https://www.pacocollars.com/ I went... I found a beautiful design ("Dude" very appropriate for this big, old goofy dog of mine) and placed an order with a matching leash. They came within about 8 days, and were - seriously - far more beautiful than I had imagined. Perfectly made, beautifully adorned (subtle, but strong), VERY nice and well worth the money. I, unfortunately, failed to realize that the 'antiquing' process that this particular collar went through would make them much darker than expected. So the chocolate brown I ordered, came out looking black. My dog is a chocolate brown Chesapeake Retriever whose name is actually "Chocolate". The collar/leash weren't going to work for him as it didn't look like they were meant for him, if you know what I mean. I contacted Paco's and they - very graciously - offered to remake them in Tan (which comes out Chocolate Brown). I sent the "black" collar and leash back and had the replacements in just over a week. Just as beautifully crafted, and they look like they were made for our guy. So impressed with these folks! Awesome buying experience, and incredibly nice people to work with. Now, I'm going to ask them to make two collars for the smaller ones, with a dual-leash to go with it. For the record, Chocolate (our dog) skips a little bit now, cause he knows he's 'got it going on' when he is at the tree everyone with four legs meets to pee on. Thank you, Paco Collars! read more

I've had Paco Collar envy for a very long time. Beautifully made, high quality dog collars. We took advantage of a Facebook sale and purchased collars for all three of our dogs. Each collar design and colors fit the individual dog's personality. Fast forward a few months - our dogs have been watching their weight (we've helped them do so) and have been successful in losing a few pounds. We stopped by Paco to see if they could make some size adjustment to each collar which they did with each dog in attendance. I knew it would be much prettier if they did it, instead of me! At the time of purchase we didn't realize that the collars have a life time guarantee but are thrilled with this complimentary service. You get what you pay for and quality reins supreme. read more

Alright, so I was definitely a skeptic. Before I adopted my pup, I had always noticed the storefront on my way to/ from Berkeley Bowl (it's across the street). I kinda scoffed at the idea of a store that specializes in collars for dogs. How does a store sustain itself selling dog collars? Their collars are definitely NOT cheap. After adopting my pup, I repetitively heard about Paco's and their great customer service and quality in collars and leashes. My pup was starting to grow out of his collar and I wasn't a fan of any of the ones at my local pet supply store. Then I looked up Paco's website to see if their collars were really THAT special. Low and behold, they truly are. Today, I'm a believer. Sidenote: although their quality is amazing, I would also suggest that you visit their storefront versus purchasing online if you're able to. The customer service is amazing and for someone like me, they have so many collars to look at for inspiration in designing your own collar! To summarize: the quality is great, the people that work there are dope, and you must love your pet to consider purchasing a collar/ leash here.. it's totally worth it, what are you waiting for?? P.S. you might receive a discount if you 'Like' them on Facebook! read more

They make the best leather products out there. HANDS DOWN. I finally met Ana @ the PetExpo in LA. Talked to her & Grant for over an hour, and came up with a collar for my little Staffordshire pitty. Not only were they accomadating, but they were very understanding. They knew that they had high quality products, and the correct price. I can't argue with that, and I didn't feel the need to low ball either. You pay for what you get right? Anyway, purchased a collar for my little girl, fully customized. It had came 2 inches longer... but guess what? It fits perfectly now. I am not sure if it's a lucky mistake, but they did e-mail me suggesting that I send it back to get it fixed (just never got to it) but it fits magically now! They really know their product! A few months later, I find myself visiting the shop (from LA) and BAM - 2 hours w/ Grant on a fully customized collar for my other older pit - who likes bling, but not too much. He helped me physically pick out each piece and lay them out on a blank collar so that I could visually see what it would look like. THATS what you call ABOVE & BEYOND SERVICE. Then, the collar was shipped right before I left town again - received it in perfect condition. I can't commend how great these people are that work @ Paco. They are more than "collar crafters" they are true artist with a warm heart - that really enjoys their product, and sell their product correctly. They post exactly which farm they get their leather(s) from, and for you animal-activist / lovers out there, you can feel free to do your research on where they get their leather from. Community. They work for the community, their work contributes to the bay area community - fostering pitbulls, bringing awareness to them, changing the notion of them, and most importantly, loving them as normal dogs. I love this about them! Also, they offer collar making classes too.. how GREAT is that? I've never been to one, but I know you learn how to make your own collar....that's just...awesome! The best things about them: Fully customized leather collars for dogs, cats, horses, goats......you name it! They do it! High quality leather Water / Beach proof Chew-proof - will replace Customized tags - ID tags! Local - in & out Cheap shipping Interchangeable Flashy Durable & Comfortable (my babies have pulled and tugged on the collars, and they stretch just a minor bit, but retain their original shape + size) Brass!! It's so easy to clean & to polish .....&& much more! Support Paco Collars - because in return, they support you back! read more

There is a reason this place only gets 5 star ratings. The product is amazing! I've wanted one of these since I spotted a great dane sporting one at the WAIH. Well Lucy finally got one as a gift from her favorite uncle! She is looking pretty fine in the "callie" collar. She's turning heads and getting compliments everywhere she goes. This is a durable collar and although I've only had it a few days, I have confidence that this will be her one and only collar and that it can withstand the Lucy test. Nice doggie bling for sure!! I understand she has a matching leash on the way and we can't wait! read more

The crew at Paco Collars are awesome! Our newest dog, Levi, got himself a custom Paco Collar that we designed in the shop with Ana.

This is one of those places that you drive past many many times and always plan to go into. We finally did; my son was looking for his chihuahua mix for its birthday. The place is tiny, but well presented, and had a fancy brochure. The woman was helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, I can't support use of leather as a vegan - it is extremely polluting - and there are no alternatives in use here, so nothing I would choose to buy - therefore I have to give only 3 stars. Oh well. read more

Came here to get a dog leash for my son Cody because I heard they had the best leather goods and because my dog deserves only the best :). Their situated in a very rustic building with a lot of products on display to choose from. Right when you get in, you're greeted by the employee who was very knowledgeable at his craft. Although a lot of knowledge was shared regarding the collars and leash, I did feel as if he hovered a little too much. (Sometimes you need privacy in order to think to yourself before spending $50-200 on your dog! haha). Overall, came out with a nice leather leash and I couldn't have been happier! Pros: - great products - who doesn't love leather? - high quality -hand made - Custom designs possible! Cons: - price (You get what you pay for) Tip: - Check their website if you want an idea of what they're selling before you walk in! read more

Picked up my dog's collar today and I love it! Great quality and fits her perfectly.

As a full-on jaded consumer, I EXPECT to be disappointed in some (maybe small) way with most purchases. Things don't fit exactly right, the color is slightly off or the quality isn't quite up to expectations. Whatever, nothing is ever perfect. You can imagine my surprise when I opened up the box Louie's Paco collar came in. It is truly an amazing piece of work. Ana and I had emailed back and forth a few times (how big is Louie, correct measurement of his neck - I even emailed her a head shot) and what I got was a stunning, well made leather collar that makes my dog look like the stud that he is. I ordered a matching bracelet (well, wouldn't YOU?) and I love that every bit as much as the collar. They are both SO well made that I doubt the beast (or I) will ever need another one. I have to get another dog so I can order another Paco Collar. (But I am going to buy Louie a leash...) Thanks, Ana! read more

Cool shop with friendly customer service Style/selection is somewhat limited though. Also the price point was pretty high. When we were in Italy this past summer we briefly considered getting a leather collar/leash set for our pup. Now I wish I did because the price here made Italian leather look extremely reasonable. Our dog is mid-sized so we were looking at 1-1.25(?)inch collars, and they ranged from $100-$150ish. Ouch! read more

I had never heard of Paco Collars but passed their old store on Shattuck for years ("Dog Collars" was all I could tell you that the sign said and I was never tempted to stop in.) Then I discovered them on Fifth Street in Berkeley in their beautiful new shop when a friend introduced me to them. Getting a gorgeous beautifully crafted collar for my awesome dog was something I never thought about and now I'm thrilled that I "got it." And with a lifetime guarantee!! The whole experience was a delight. The owner was in along with another staff person. Amazing customer service. They encourage customers to ask for exactly what they want, without any sense that this is an imposition. There were many choices of stones and other details, more than I could have imagined. I had to get used to the idea of spending serious money on a dog collar and was happy they were patient as I processed this. Our collar was less than $100 and truly worth it. I love my dog and now she's properly outfitted. I've never purchased anything that came with as many guarantees and add on services that Paco Collars offers, included in the price. It's also nice to support a solid local business that adds to the aesthetics of our dog community. read more

I can't be a big enough cheer leader for Paco Collars. Not only do they have the cutest storefront (and employees!) they make the highest quality pet and people accessories I've ever purchased. After outfitting my cat with a collar that I sometimes want to borrow I picked up some matching wrist cuffs for myself and am working on furnishing the dogs in my life with Paco collars too. Just about every one I know (including a pair of goats) has hopped on the Paco Collar train. I love that they are now offering leather working classes and hope I can make it to one soon. Thanks for the awesome work! read more

As a former non believer, I never wanted to pay for this expensive collar...but after my first collar, I was hooked. This was back in the day when Paco collars was a one woman shop, and I begged her to create a matching leash, because if you are going to spend good money on a collar, you want a bling bling leash! Through the years the collars have grown more and more awesome. As a leather goods snob, I look at every dog's collar and then always suggest an upgrade to the Paco collar. Gotta push for what you like right? I LOVE paco collars, with that said, I will never go anywhere else for my leather needs. read more

I searched and searched the Web for a nice collar for my Russell Terrier, Ozzie. Decided on a Paco Collar, the Double Agent with tan leather. Couldn't be happier, the craftsmanship is superior. I love it so much that I've ordered a 2nd collar for Ozzie. This time he wants some jewels so I ordered the Rylie (black) with an added name plate with his name and my phone number. Can't wait to get it! This small company really take pride in their product. I will always have a Paco Collar. read more

I actually heard about Paco Collars from my next door neighbor. I have been searching for the last year for a high quality collar for my little Shiba Inu. I have been to all of the pet stores in Los Angeles from DTLA to Santa Monica and had not been able to find something unique with the quality to match the price. I ordered the "Over The Shoulder Rover Holder" leash and "The Niz" collar, along with a matching bracelet for myself in tan/brass. I cannot believe the leather and the craftsmanship of the products. The quality and styling exceed anything I have seen in the trendy pet boutiques in LA. The leather reminds me of Mulberry handbags and expensive horse saddles. This is an investment that you will have for years. I loved it so much that I just ordered another set in black/silver! Special Note: The "Over The Shoulder Rover Holder" is wonderful if you have a small/medium dog. I wore it yesterday to walk to Little Tokyo to have my nails done and I was completely hands-free the entire time. A total dream! (Special Note: I would save this particular leash for walks and not the dog park if you have an active medium sized dog unless you want to see a chiropractor afterwards.) read more
