Here at The Broke Dog, we love saving money!

The owner, Amanda Mei, handcrafts matching leather dog collar/bracelet sets (called “Affinity Collars”) from high-quality materials in Los Angeles. As I mentioned, they might be little pricey for some readers, but take 20% off with code THEBROKEDOG if you decide to take the plunge!
