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.
