Outrageous or Fabulous? These 7 Designer Dog Collars Cost More Than Your House!

Most dog owners buy dog collars at local pet stores. Even if we’re looking for specific name-brand dog collars and extra high-quality dog collars, it’s usually possible to find them in-store near you, or from a website like Amazon. Usually, a dog collar costs between $10 and $50, even if you’re choosing a beautiful leather dog collar, “luxury” dog accessories are typically pretty affordable. Sometimes, we’ll splurge on our canine besties with high-end dog collars from designer brands, but even designer dog collars are rarely more than a few hundred dollars.
Can you imagine spending $1,000 on a luxury dog collar when you can get functional and beautiful dog collars for less than $100? What about $100,000? What about more than $1 million?
Well, some people just really love their dogs and have the money to spoil them with luxury dog collars that cost more than most people make in a year.
To avoid giving you sticker shock right away I’m counting down to the most expensive dog collar in the world, starting with a few slightly more affordable but still very fancy dog collars.
7. Pearl & Sapphire Dog Collar from A’maree’s — $1,160
Our first designer collar comes from the in-house designers at A’maree’s, a high-end boutique in Newport Beach. Made from warm brown leather, this collar is adorned with natural pearls and a gorgeous sapphire and corundum pendant that transforms this collar from an everyday luxury to a fashion dog collar.
Although comfortable like designer leather dog collars should be, this piece isn’t necessarily a collar for everyday wear. Fashion dog collars are maybe more appropriate for special occasions, days out on the town, vacations, or events where your pooch needs to look their best. Of course, this is the most affordable option on our list, so you might be more comfortable letting your dog wear this collar for everyday use as compared to the more expensive dog collars you’ll find further down.
6. Loubicollar from Christian Louboutin — $1,190
Christian Louboutin is an iconic French designer best known for his red-bottom heels. Worn by countless celebrities, the classic bright Louboutin red is easily recognizable by fashion lovers in the know and is featured on this beautiful designer pet collar. Made from soft, comfortable calf leather and adorned with silver studs, the Loubicollar is king among luxury leather dog collars.
If you like your dog to match and are looking for sets of designer dog collars and leashes, you’re in luck, because Louboutin also offers a matching Loubileash for around $500, or a crystal-studded version for $1,300. All these items can be purchased at Saks Fifth Avenue where all the most fashionable dogs shop.
Unfortunately for big dogs, this collar is currently only available in extra-small, but pocket-sized pooches can still rock this designer dog collar, leash, or any of Louboutin’s other canine accessories. If you’re on the hunt for designer puppy collars for a small breed, this option might also fit the bill.
5. Hermés Black Tie Dog Collar — $1,975
Hermés are the makers of the world-famous Birkin bags, a line of purses so coveted and lux that you can’t buy one at a store—you have to be offered one by a Hermés representative! A brand worn only by the most elite, most people would need to save up for years to afford a high-end piece from this luxury brand. But, if you have $2,000 to spend on your four-legged best friend, they can be decked out in this high-end dog collar from Hermés!
One of the most unique luxury leather collars for dogs I could find, the Black Tie Collar from Hermés is designed to look like the collar of a dress shirt. Made from bridle leather and studded with silver-plated stainless steel, the Black Tie Collar is available in medium and large sizes for $1,975 and costs slightly less for small and extra-small dogs at $1,575.
4. 14K Gold, Diamond, & Pearl Dog Collar from Kyle Chan — $2,800
Celebrity designer Kyle Chan’s upscale dog collars are made from freshwater pearls, and feature a 14-carat gold name tag encircled in 0.15 carats of real diamonds. When you order trendy dog collars from Kyle Chan, your dog’s name is carefully engraved in gold, and made into a custom tag.
Celebrities like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Emma Stone, Paris Hilton, Lil Nas X, and countless others have worn Kyle Chan’s designs, and your dog could be next to model his designer pet collars on the red carpet…or on a walk around the block.
Big or small, your dog can rock these designer pet collars, which come in sizes from 8 inches to 18 inches. If you prefer rose gold or white gold over yellow gold, you can customize the dog tag to suit your taste or match the color of your dog’s fur.
3. The KILO Solid 10K Gold Dog Collar from Big Dog Chains — $179,999.99
We’re making a big jump in price with this next one and truly entering the world of premium dog collars. Made from stylish 10-carat gold, this massive chain-style collar is a far cry from the luxury puppy collars you’ll see in small boutiques.
As far as luxury pet collars go, you can’t get much fancier than this stunning chain jewelry-inspired piece that will run you around $180K. Because it’s quite a hefty piece, this fashion collar isn’t an everyday accessory, but anyone whose dog is rocking this chain will certainly get a lot of attention. Handmade in Canada by Big Dog Chains, this piece is customized for anyone who orders it.
2. La Jeune Tulipe Diamond Dog Collar from Posh Puppy Boutique — $250,000

1. The Amour Amour Dog Collar — $3,500,000
The final luxury dog collar on our list is so magnificent, it’s almost legendary. It’s difficult to find much information on what has been nicknamed “the Bugatti of dog collars,” but we know that this stunning 52-carat diamond dog collar was once sold for at least $3.5 million at auction. Said to feature more than 1,600 hand-set diamonds set in 18-carat white gold and fastened with crocodile leather, nothing about this dog collar is ordinary.
