Collars Or Harnesses? Protect Your Pets Safety
Pet owners often use a collar for the purpose of restraining their dog or cat. Collars should not be used for restraint. Your dog or cat can easily escape from a standard collar and martingale and pinch collars can cause discomfort, they should be used only for for the purpose of training and attaching your pet’s identification (You should have your pet’s identification attached to their collar or harness at all times it only takes seconds to do with the tag-it pet id holder). A harness is the proper tool for restraining your dog or cat and attaching a leash. If you crate your pet remove their collar or harness before placing them in their crate in order to prevent them from being entangled. Choose the appropriate size harness for your dog or cat by measuring the circumference from around the belly behind the front legs to the top of the shoulder with no slack and adding five percent. You can do this easily with a flexible tape measure. For collar measurement measure the circumference around the neck with no slack and add five percent.
It is very dangerous to leave your pet on a tie out. They can become entangled and injure themselves. If you put your pet on a tie out only leave them on it for a short period of time and
NEVER leave your pet on a tie out without being supervised.
Remember our pets rely on us to keep them safe it is the least we can do for them.
