Collar Warning - Personal Experience

[lv4dogs]

Wow that sure is scary.

My dogs never wear their collars if I am not present, end even then they rarely wear them unless we are outside. And when they do wear their collars and we are at home I put them on loose enough so that they slip over their heads if need be & I also only buy the quick relese collars (with the clip instead of the buckle).

Years ago Nanook got his tags stuck in the heater vent & he was frantically trying to get free. What if I was not there, worse yet what if the heat was on? It took me a good 5-10 minutes (seemed like forever) and some struggling to get him free.

They are all chipped (well Kaige isn't yet, he's getting chipped next month when he gets neutered.. boy how time flies), they don't wander far from me either & have good recalls too.

Glad everything is ok now!

I'm glad to hear both of your girls are okay!

My dogs are prone to run away
(well, Sierra is, Buddy would only follow to keep her safe)
They are both microchipped and they both wear collars with tags, Sierra Always has hers on, and Buddy's comes off at night because he walks around the house a few times a night and the jingels of his tags wakes me up.
I think I will be buying two of those breakways collars Allamerican Pup posted. Those sound perfect!!!
Once Sierra ran away with my in-laws RB Rasquel and they were saved because Sierra had her tags on, and two 9 year old boys coaxed them into their garage and read her tag and called me.
