How to Select an Idyllic Dog Collar?
By Anita Dzebic
Selecting a dog collar is not a trivial task. The pet accessories market is literally swamped with conventional as well as inimitable types of dog collars to serve diverse functions and needs. As a pet lover, you must be aware of the fact that different kinds of dogs need to be harnessed using different dog collars. Here are a few tips to help you select an idyllic collar for your dog.
Before you venture out to buy a dog collar, it is always better to conduct a thorough research to know all about the various types of dog collars available, their price range, and latest fashion trends. Check out some online stores, SmartPetSupply.com is a good place to begin with. Here, you will find large and varied collection of dog collars, at affordable prices.
When buying a dog collar, it is important to consider the breed and the fur color of your dog. A fuzzy pink collar would look amazing on a toy poodle, but disastrous on a Doberman.
If you are trying to train your dog, an electronic collar, also called remote or shock collar, would be ideal. It delivers an electrical stimulus to the dog in training as a correction method. The intensity of the stimulus ranges from low to high levels depending on the disobedience of the dog. Prong or pinch collars are also good for training purposes. Unlike slip collars or choke chains, they do not cause neck, back or tracheal injuries.
Collars like Le Sorbet Rose or Viva La Diva would be perfect for your dog, if you are passionate about fancy collars. Are you fanatical about your pet's safety? If yes, then buckle collars, quick-release collars, and break-away collars, are tailor-made for your dog. They will never strangulate him. Is your dog an ardent water sports lover? If your reply is a positive nod, go for a nylon collar. Anything else will not hold up as well to constant moisture.
While buying a dog collar, ensure that it fits well. Improperly fitted collars and their incorrect usage may prove to be fatal for your dog. A properly fitted collar is one in which there is at least two-finger width space between the collar and the neck of the dog. Always buy a durable dog collar.
I hope with these tips in mind, you will be able to select a perfect collar for your dog.
