Things to note when using a dog collar
Dog collars are an indispensable and important tool for raising dogs, but there are also many considerations when purchasing and using collars. What should you pay attention to when using a collar? Let’s talk about the precautions for using a dog collar.
First of all, when buying a collar, you should pay attention to the material of the collar. Generally speaking, leather will be more comfortable to wear, while nylon may be less comfortable. If it is a large dog, the pulling force will be greater, so leather will be more suitable.
If it is suitable for the size of the dog and the length of the neck, a slightly wider collar will be less likely to strangle the dog when pulled, but if it is too wide, it may get stuck on the neck and become uncomfortable. It is better to choose a wider one according to the condition of your dog.
The collar must not be tied too tightly, and certainly not too loose. Because when the collar is first put on, the dog is not used to it and will want to take it off. If it is too loose, it may break free. But if it is too tight, it will make it difficult for the dog to breathe, affect blood circulation, and is not good for the fur.
The collar must be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Many owners don’t pay much attention to the cleaning of their collars. In fact, this is a very important matter. Dogs wear collars every day, and leather, nylon or other materials will have some pores and wrinkles, which can harbor dirt and grime over time. if it is not cleaned and disinfected properly, the dog's skin will be infected with bacteria and suffer from skin diseases.
