A clear RFQ gets you a specific answer instead of a round of clarifying questions. It gives the factory the same product details your team uses for planning, so the resulting quote is easier to evaluate and act on.
For collars, harnesses, and leashes, the details are not bureaucracy - material grade, hardware, and packaging genuinely change the cost, the minimum, and how long production takes.
Lead with the product and a reference
Say whether you need pet collars, dog harnesses, pet leashes, or matching sets, and attach whatever you have: photos, drawings, a competitor link, or a physical sample you can post. A reference removes most of the guesswork immediately.
Give a realistic quantity
An honest estimate is more useful than an inflated one, and far more useful than none. If you already know the assortment, break it down by style, color, and size - that is what minimums are actually checked against.
Spell out the customization
Logo method and placement, colorway references, material preference, hardware finish, woven labels, packaging format, barcodes, and any instruction inserts. Each of these has a cost, and each is easier to price up front than to add later.
Name the market and any documents
Tell us the destination country and whether your retailer, marketplace, or distributor requires particular documentation. It affects material choice, labeling, testing, and the schedule.
