Collars & Leashes
♡Collars & Leashes
Collar A flat, buckle collar is the safest. Breakaway collars reduce the risk of accidental strangulation. Never leave a dog unattended in a slip collar or chain collar. Be aware that dogs sometimes catch their collar when they jump up on chain-link fences.
♡Leash
A braided leather leash or a leash with some girth will be much easier to hold when your dog pulls than a flat nylon leash.
♡Harness or Head Halter
For dogs that pull or dogs that have sensitive necks, you may wish to use a harness or head halter instead of a collar.
♡Car Seatbelt or Confinement
For safety, dogs should be restrained in the car by a seatbelt, a gate, or inside a dog crate. It is illegal for a dog to ride unconfined in the back of a pickup truck.
♡ID Tags
Ideally tags should be permanently rivited to every one of your dog’s collars.
♡Microchip
Your vet can implant an identifying microchip the size of a grain of rice between your dog’s shoulders. All vets and animal shelters scan unknown animals for these chips.
♡Dog License
All dogs are required to have a county-issued dog license. The dog is required to have a rabies vaccination in order to be licensed.
♡Muzzle
A basket muzzle can be used to safeguard an aggressive dog and is also useful in emergency situations; if a dog is in pain, he may bite someone who tries to touch him.
♡Cone / Elizabethan Collar
A cone on your dog’s neck is used to prevent him from licking a wound.
