Exclamation About Pet Collars!

ID Tags & Collars:

An important thing to remember about placing a collar around your pet's neck when they are young is that as the animal grows, so do their necks. The tightness of the collar needs to be checked at least once a month and adjusted to the animals growing and replace the small collar with a new one as the animal grows. What happens if a collar becomes too tight around the puppies neck and is left there and is not loosened, then the collar will become embedded down into the flesh around the entire neck of the puppy and will cause deep wounds and severe trauma to the neck that will require immediate attention by a vet. Another important thing to remember is that if you have a teeny tiny puppy such as a Chihuahua, a lot of times the collars and ID tags are much bigger than the puppy and this can cause them to get one or their front legs caught in the collar.
