Traditional Dog Collars: They should ride high on your pet's neck,not loose so that it slides down near the top of his shoulder blades. Dog Collars should be snug with enough room to fit two fingers between your dog's neck and his collar. For your dog's safety, the collar should not be loose enough to slip over the pet's head. Collars should also not be so tight as to restrict breathing or cause coughing. Check collar size frequently on growing puppies. Use a tape measure to measure your pet's neck, then add on two to three inches.
Choose collar and lead width with hardware that matches your pet's size. Smaller, lightweight choices are for small dogs and puppies, and wider, more durable styles are for bigger, stronger pets.
Every collar you own should have a current name tag attached to it at all times!
Dog Harnesses: Harnesses, which go around the neck and around the shoulders behind the front legs, are recommended for dogs who have upper respiratory disease or diseases of the throat or trachea, such as a collapsed trachea. If a dog with a collar pulls on the leash, it places pressure on
the throat and trachea, causing irritation and coughing. Harnesses relieve that pressure.
Our Step-In harness style is the recommended type of harness for most small breeds.
