If you have a dog as a pet, you know how much fun such an animal is. Many owners really see their dog as an extra child and therefore take care of it with a lot of love. Actually all owners buy a dog collar. In this article you can read why this is important and how to choose the perfect collar for your dog.
Why a dog collar?
A dog collar goes around a dog’s neck. It does not restrict the dog’s movement. You can easily attach the leash to the collar, and in addition you can put your phone number on the collar. If you lose your dog the person who finds him knows to reach you immediately. However, it is important with a neck link to pay attention to whether your dog pulls much on the line when you let him out. If your dog pulls very hard at the leash this can cause injuries to the neck, because the neck link around the neck absorbs the force. If this is the case, it is better to put on a dog harness instead of dog collars.
Which collar is right for your dog?
A dog collar comes in different colors and designs, but the most important thing when buying a collar is whether it fits your dog. The weight and size of your dog are decisive here. A collar should not be too loose and not too tight. A loose neck link can after all quickly become loose, as a result of which your dog can run away. A too-tight collar again causes damage to the neck. A good way to measure whether a collar fits properly is to put two fingers between the collar and the neck. If this fits easily, then the collar fits well. It is also advisable to consult the size chart when ordering the dog collars.
Types of collars
You can make a choice in color and print when buying a collar: for example, go for a nice print in a bright color or choose simple black. Besides the color, you have to decide on other things when buying a dog collar. For example, some collars are completely waterproof so they are easy to keep clean and won’t smell easily. It can also be useful to purchase a collar with reflectors. Thus is your dog also at walks in the dark well visible. When your dog has a longer or broader neck than most dogs, you can go for a broader neck link. This way you know for sure that it sits comfortably.
