Animal Smiley 019 small dogs trachea

He only goes outside to potty--we don't have a fenced in yard so he is never loose, and I only walk him occassionally.

Should he have a harness instead of a collar?? I prefer to keep something on him at all times--is this a bad idea? I have wondered if the collar is affecting the growth of fur on his neck area...

And I also am sorry about the puppy that got killed. It's bad enough to let them go when they're aged and/or sick!
depending on the size of your dog.... a neck collar can damage the trachea on small dogs.. it must be loose.. it is dangerous to wear in the house..
just put it on to walk.. new harnesses vests are nice and the halti is the best..
