What’s the best collar for your pet?
Dogs love having fun, don’t they? Most of them go crazy when they hear the
magic words: Let’s go for a walk! However, some precautions are important so
that your pet has a safe and fun time.
Many owners complain and consider the pet’s collar one of the main problems
when walking the pet, however, it shouldn’t be like that, because with this
accessory you can make sure that your pet will not run away or get involved in
accidents while they are on the streets. First of all, you need to understand
that the dog wants to explore its environment, and that you will probably have
to deal with some leash pulling.
Another interesting point is choosing the best collar for your pet. It is worth
mentioning that some details, such as dog’s size, weight, behavior and
strength must be taken into account when deciding which product to use for
walking it. In addition, you need to keep in mind that you must keep your dog
under control, especially around people on the street.
Standard dog collars, used around the neck, are the most common. Although
they adapt to almost any dog breed, it will be necessary to watch out for ways
collars can potentially harm your dog, since leash pulling is very common while
walking. Another possibility is using a dog harness, an accessory which does
not usually cause discomfort during the walk and is widely accepted by most
dogs.
You can talk over this choice with your pet’s veterinarian, who will analyze the
most appropriate option for your pet. Some tips, such as avoiding counterfeit
products and giving priority to quality, are essential. Regarding material, there
is no one-size-fit-all option, as the best choice depends on the pet. The most
important is keeping the dog safe and comfortable to walk.
Here’s a tip for cat lovers: just buy collars exclusively designed for cats. Many
pet owners think that products for dogs and cats are the same, but they are
not. Dog collars are heavier, larger and wider, among other differences.
Besides, never force your cat to walk on the street if it is not used to it or if it
does not want to.
