Collar Warning - Personal Experience

Poor girls! I'm so glad they're okay. It must have been scary.

My dogs' collars are on constantly as well. They are loosened at night, and could easily slip out of them if needed.

I'm glad your two were ok! This is quite an eye-opener for me, I've never heard of collars being such a problem.. About the worst we've had is Sherman getting his tags stuck between the boards on the deck - both times he pulled so hard it ripped the taags off, but he was fine. Mine always have their collars on. Even though they are both microchipped, I worry about them getting out of their kennel and runing loose. Star got out of the yard as a puppy, but the city animal warden happened to be in the neighborhood, picked her up, scanned her, & because she DID have a microchip, she was immediatly returned. Another time a roofer left the gate open and she got out, but a neighbor put her in their yard and called the number on her tags & we got her back right away. So both forms of ID have served us well!
