The Hidden Dangers of Dog Collars
Dog collars are a staple in pet care, often used for identification and control. However, they can also present significant risks, especially when dogs are left unattended. With approximately 26,000 dogs dying each year from collar-related strangulation, it’s crucial for pet owners to understand these dangers and explore safer alternatives.
Common Collar-Related Hazards
- Outdoor Snags on Fences
Dogs playing or exploring outdoors can catch their collars on fence tops, leading to entanglement or choking. - Playtime Jaw Entrapment
When dogs play together, their jaws can get caught in another dog’s collar, posing a significant risk if unsupervised. - Indoor Snags on Furniture
Dog tags or collars can snag on furniture, bedding, or other household objects, causing panic or injury. - Kennel or Crate Accidents
Metal slats or edges in crates and kennels can trap collars or tags, leading to dangerous situations if the dog struggles.
