| Do any of you... Let your little ones wear collars , fashionable ones of course, when you are out and about. I would never let Roxie wear one around the house or when shes crated, but would love to purchase one for when we go out. Do you all have any photos of your babies showing off their bling? LOL..Thanks! |

| Kaji's are plain and he wears a collar 24/7 for ID purposes. Lately, he's been 100% nekkid around the house.

| Hmm, my dog is so hairy that I never buy fancy collars - I can't even see regular ones under her fur! She does wear a collar around the house while someone is home because she occasionally makes a mad dash for the door and I don't want to risk her getting lost outside w/o tags. If she is crated then I remove the collar. I'm actually thinking of buying her a cat collars for home and the crate because those will snap apart with a little force, thus the likelihood of choking Is low ( I guess it depends on the size/strength of your dog too? I dunno if a 2lb dog could break away). Last edited by maybeiloveyou; 07-09-2010 at 10:32 AM. |

| I have never put a collar on either of my boys! I just haven't had the need to. When I'm home I'm like a hawk with them, when I'm not home I wouldn't chance the collar getting stuck on something and them getting hurt or worse with no one there. I'm a worry wart I think! LOL

| Maddie has a collar that matches her harness. She never wears it though. I also would never walk her with it...she likes to bounce around too much! Now her harness is too small and I need to get a bigger one, but I'm not sure where to look. I bought the same brand she had in the next size up but it was WAY too big, even taken up all the way! She is a little big for the "toy" size but way to small for "small." Anybody have any suggestions? |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | My furs wear collars 24/7 w/ ID tags (microchipped too)...but the collars are very carefully fitted, for safety. For where I live in metro Phoenix, I just feel I have to give them every possible chance to be ID'd if something happened. Someone tried to break into our house a couple years ago - and all I could think about was the doggies. Luckily, we have an alarm, and they scrammed - all was safe. Oh also, Marcel and Pfeiffer each wear a bell bc of size . I get collars here and just love them! I ask her to make them ribbon-on-ribbon (rather than the standard ribbon on canvas) for the small doggies and I love how lightweight it is and thin. I get the break-away clasp. This is an example of Pfeiffer's collar (but, break-away): Cloe's Collars

You know what Ann, I think yorkies are crossed with ninjas. Kaji has this super secret ninja mode where he sneaks up on me. I only know he's there because of a yelp. He wears a bell too.

I just keep their ID tag on their collar and then I ordered extras for if we travel too (for harness or for their little bag). I have the rabies tags at home, but I don't put them on .

I was wondering if this is ok. Kaji only wears a tag that says and has my number on it and a bell. He has worn his rabies tag when we've traveled.

| Well it WAS pretty Sophie wears a pink suede one with a "diamond" heart in the center. Now I have so many id tags on her AKC, Chip id, Rabies Tag, plus a beautiful dogbone shaped id with crystals on one side & my cell phone number & the word "reward" on the other, that it is getting kind of grungy looking. I am so paranoid about her getting lost that I make her wear them all day, but they come off only if she is in her crate. Everyone thinks I'm over doing it, but after you have read a few stories about them skipping out the door or whatever you don't want to take the chance. That being said, harness for walks or fastened in her "puppy purse". |

| I wonder if the law varies state to state as to what they are required to wear. I'm goingto look it up now. Right now you hear, "ding,ding" but we hear, "bang,clash,bang" with all three tags hitting each other.

| Jackson has a collar on pretty much 24/7 with an ID tag. He is also microchipped. SO many dogs are returned because a person finds a dog and calls the number on their tags. There have been a few threads on here alone where a dog is returned because of a collar/ID. Harnesses are used for walking, collars are pretty much 24/7, minus bath-time. Jackson has a TON of collars but they're all pretty plain, just different colors for different occasions, lol. I buy cheap collars from Dollar Store, Target, or Kmart, etc.
