| Popular Dog Collar Myths Myths and Truths about 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. Myth: Crating my dog is a good way to keep him out of trouble. Truth: Crating a dog can serve as a helpful house-training tool and protect home furnishings from damage, but even a crate isn't an absolute safe harbor for your pet. If your dog wears a collar in his crate, he is at risk for possible strangulation if the collar or identification tags become caught in the crate's bars. Myth: My dog is a rough-and-tumble dog, and nothing gets in his way when he is chasing sticks or tracking game. Truth: While games of fetch and outdoor activities are normally a good experience for both owner and pet, dog collars can get hung up on branches, shrubs or barbwire, which can cause serious injury or death to the animal. Myth: My dog has a great safe haven in my fenced backyard because he can romp and play freely. Truth: Although the backyard provides a great area for exercise and play, hidden dangers for your dog include shrubs, branches, fence posts and decks. There have been numerous reports of dog collars or tags becoming entangled on such objects. The Premier KeepSafeTM Break-Away Collar is specifically designed to help prevent dog-collar injuries and strangulations that can occur in the manners described above or in other situations. |
