Final thoughts on Dog Collars
Final
thoughts on Dog Collars:
Every
dog from puppy hood on needs a sturdy collar to carry his identification.
For everyday wear, choose a buckled or snap-together collar with
clearly visible ID tags on secure sturdy metal tags, or on the collar
itself. Some collars can be custom imprinted or embroidered with
your dog's name, and even your telephone number.
Keep
your dog's ID up-to-date. Many dogs are picked up as "strays"
because they aren't wearing collars, or their collars do not carry
any identifying tags. Identification is your dog's ticket home,
and if you move or change phone numbers obtain new tags that attach
to the collar.
A collar
that is too tight or dirty can cause skin irritation, so be sure
to remove the collar periodically to check the condition of the
hair and skin beneath it.
A properly
fitted collar can make walking, training, and interacting with your
dog an easy and pleasant experience for both human and animal. A
collar should not hurt a dog or interfere with its normal activities.
If there is any doubt about a collar, consult a veterinarian, trainer,
or other animal professional before putting it on a dog.
