Dog Collars

Dog collars

Pet dogs are given collars as a way to let people know that a specific dog is a pet. A lot of people also attach a small tag with the dog's name and address in case it is lost. A dog collar can be made from either a synthetic fabric, rexine or leather. Leather collars work well for dogs with longer hair as they prevent matting. To close a collar there is either a classic metal buckle or plastic snap-buckle.

A dog collar can also be used to connect the leash, although a lot of people are not for this option as when the dog pulls at the leash the pressure is transferred onto its neck and can cause choking. The collar should not be too tight as well as it will rub against their fur and skin, which is uncomfortable but can also damage the fur. At night the collar should be taken off and even generally the dog should not be wearing a collar 24/4.

Instead of connecting a leash to the collar, one can find a good harness for their dog which can be used for walks. This way the pressure from the leash is divided onto the body and not focused on the neck.
