Rebel Blog

In case you may not have heard, CrazyRebels.com is turning ten this year! So we are celebrating all year long with over $10,000 worth of giveaways. Just our little way of saying thank you for the past ten years of supporting CR.

February’s giveaway is straight from the heart. We literally started Crazy Rebels on Instagram, drawing portraits of dogs and invoicing customers via PayPal. Before CrazyRebels.com was born, it was just an Instagram account on an iPad and a whole lot of what felt like crazy dreams. Fast forward ten years and here we are, making collars on the daily and absolutely loving every moment of it. We would not be where we are today without the word of mouth love and social media. We owe our success to Instagram and the kindness of our customers and for that we are paying it forward all year long.

We are kicking off February with a month long giveaway to enter to win a collar YOU LOVE and an iPad mini. For the collar you get to choose any CR collar design your dog wants, in your favorite colors, custom made just for your pup. To enter to win, head to our Instagram right here. 

We LOVE you! Happy February. 

It’s our birthday! Well, sort of. It’s actually our birthyear! 2022 marks 10 years since we launched CrazyRebels.com and while the actual day of the launch isn’t until November, we’re getting this party started early and celebrating all year long! When we first began all those years ago, we truly never could have imagined where we would be today. We are so very grateful for each and every person and dog we have met along the way. 

It turned out when we started this new venture we were not only building a company, we were actually creating a family. And wow do we love this family. A truly caring community of like minded, dog loving people. We are so glad you’re here.

This might be our tenth anniversary of offering you the raddest dog gear online, but we are gifting YOU all year long. We’ve done a myriad of giveaways throughout our time online, but this is going to be our most extensive string of giveaways yet! To celebrate 10, we have over $10,000 worth of giveaways planned for you over the next 12 months. Including a multitude of Crazy Rebels collars and gear, and a far reaching array of our favorite brands of dog must haves and everyday luxuries. Beginning today with the Decade Diesel. All giveaways will be hosted on Facebook or Instagram, so be sure to find us on both platforms.

The Diesel Collar

The Diesel collar was our very first collar design, so it’s only fitting it should be our first of this year’s mega giveaways too. It was inspired by our then, tiny Dober boy Diesel. He has since passed away but his memory lives on in every single Diesel collar we get to make. You see, when you select a collar you are not just getting the aesthetic design of that collar, you are also receiving a story, a little piece of our hearts in whatever form that may take. Each collar we come up with has a story from conception of design to selecting the perfect name. Over the next 12 months we’ll share more behind the collar stories and tid bits of how collars came to be. 

For the Decade Diesel we wanted a very special leather to honor the namesake dog and the collar. We selected a rare hide of super soft, gold distress Italian lambskin imported from Italy. This leather is both new and old. The vintage distress finish gives it the look of a well loved collar, which it is, and the solid brass hardware and matching padding completes its regal finish. If you want to add one of these commemorative collector’s edition Golden Decade Diesels to your collar wardrobe, we are offering a very limited number for custom order.

And if you just want to win one, you can enter to do so here.

To those of you who are new to CR, welcome, we can’t wait to get to know you. And to those of you have been with us since the start, you hold a very special place in our hearts. Thank you for helping us grow, learn, create  and connect. We couldn’t have done it without you.

For International orders the suggested cutoff  to place an order for Christmas delivery is Cyber Monday, November 30th. For US orders the suggested cutoff to place an order is Friday, December 4th. We will continue making and shipping orders placed after that as fast as we can, but those are our suggested cutoff dates for stress free delivery.

With that being said, 99% percent of the time we have 100% faith in the USPS, this year things have been a little unpredictable due to COVID so we have some notes about shipping to ensure on time delivery worldwide.

All US orders placed by Friday, December 4th will ship in time to arrive by December 24th, Christmas Eve. If you are traveling or need your order sooner than that, please let us know when you order.

Thank you so (so, so, so, so) much for choosing Crazy Rebels for your holiday needs. We love serving you! We are always here to answer questions you may have, please feel free to email us throughout the holiday weekend with any inquiries. Happy Holidays friends!

We created the Stealth collar to keep dogs safe. The Kyon Stealth collar is a waterproof collar with nameplates rivets right to the collar. An easily ID’d dog is the safest way to ensure, should your dog get loose or lost, they will be returned as quickly as possible. 

The Kyon Stealth collar features our waterproof Kyon base for durable, all purpose fit and function. Offered in 17 colors, three widths and two hardware finishes, you can choose the best aesthetic for your dog. Choose from an array of bright or neutral colors, stainless steel or solid brass hardware, and 1-1/2”, 1”, or 3/4” widths.

Our ID tags are deeply stamped by hand with your dogs name and phone number, each letter and each number lovingly set to last a lifetime. This ensures your dogs important info will never fade or rub away.

The Kyon Stealth is a great collar for every day use, whether around the house or out and about, rest assured your dog is ID’d. The Stealth is also an important part of your emergency kit.

Emergency tip: We recommend keeping a set of Kyon Stealth collars and Kyon leashes in an easily accessible emergency go-bag for your dog or pack. If you’re like us you may have collars, leashes, and supplies in various areas of your home, but in an emergency situation you won’t have time to think of where everything is, you’ll just want to collar up your pups in ID’d collars and go. This is why we keep a set of Stealths for our pack in a backpack ready to go. We don’t use these collars for every day use, we don’t grab them for the beach, we always keep them in the same location, ready to go in an emergency.
