How to choose a collar.
Pay attention to functionality and purpose. Depending on this, choose a model. If you want to decorate your pet, then choose bright colors with colorful designs and decorative details.
A collar for everyday walks should be durable and wear-resistant, it is better to buy leather products without excessive decor. To walk with your pet at night and not lose it, choose luminous neon models.
When choosing a collar, be sure to look at the quality of the material. Leather products are environmentally friendly, durable and wear-resistant, but require careful care.
Synthetics are used for the production of soft collars, inferior to other materials in terms of strength.
Metal models are resistant to mechanical damage, but it is not recommended to wear such collars in the cold season, as this can lead to frostbite of the animal.
An important selection criterion is the size of the object. Choose soft models so that when fastened to the middle hole, they do not hang around the dog’s neck.
Size compliance can be checked as follows: if the owner’s thumb fits under the collar, then everything is normal. Otherwise, it will fall off or rotate around the neck.
If it is not possible to try on the collar on the spot, measure the girth of the pet’s neck at home. Give preference to items in which the size can be adjusted.
Pay attention to decorative elements. Protrusions on the outside of the product may injure your pet or other animals. Such models are not suitable for everyday use.
When wearing collars with spikes, there is a risk of injuring not only the dog, but also injuring yourself. When choosing an “output” model, be sure to consider technical safety and reliability.
Consider warranty periods, certification and product labeling. It is advisable to buy products from trusted manufacturers. Pay attention to the packaging of the goods.
