A collar or harness "should" be used to keep their tag with name and number on at all times but it isn't safe to let them wear one or the other constantly either. A harness should be the only one used for walks and you can attach their name and number tag to it or let them wear a collar with tag on it. It's all up in the air for sure. I remember years ago when dogs always wore a little plain leather buckle collar 24-7, only getting it off for a bath, then right back on and never hearing of any problems. Now however it seems you hear of so many bad and scary things happening. Someone on YT even posted once that one of the dogs got their bottom jaw caught in the other dogs collar and actually lost some teeth trying to free himself. It's to the point now that one just doesn't know what to do. We all wan't our babies to have name and number on a tag in case they get out, but at what price? Right now, mine do not wear collars or harness while just around the house. I don't even let them outside unless I'm there with them. I even put the expen around the inside of the front door so they don't dash out. What a dilemma!! |
