A pet collar in which a leash attachment is connected to a back edge of
the collar band, at a location generally opposite to the collar buckle,
and extends rearwardly from the back edge, leaving the entire area of the
collar band unobstructed by the leash attachment. Decorative elements can
be attached to the collar in the region of the leash attachment, either
directly or by means of a slide strip, without visual obstruction by, or
mechanical interference from the leash attachment. The pet owner thus has
a clear view the decorative elements when walking the pet on a leash.
