| Popular Myths and Truths about Dog Collars Myth: Collars are designed to keep pets safe. Truth: Traditional collars are great for holding identification tags and for training and restraining pets, but thousands of dogs die each year from being strangled by them. Myth: Two dogs playing
together is harmless fun. Truth: Usually, yes, but one of the
greatest risks of collar strangulation occurs when one dog's lower jaw
becomes entangled in another's collar during play. The collar twists and
tightens as both dogs panic and frantically try to free themselves from
one another. Even when pet owners are supervising play, they
often aren't able to undo or cut the collar in time to save their companion. |
