If not, where do you put a name tag in case they get lost? |

If collars become tangled up while two dogs are playing, then at least one collar is not properly adjusted. A harness is more likely to get snagged or caught up on something since it has way more straps and surface area. Just because one owner has a bad experience with a dog collar, for whatever the reason, does not mean all dog owners should not put them on their pets. People die and are injured from airbags and seatbelts too. But all new cars have them. D'oh!
As for some of you folks giving me eslaps to the back of the head, for being "rude" with my eyerolls and "D'oh" postings, I love you too!  Did I strike a nerve perhaps? Only the TRUTH hurts you know.  I find your logic as funny as your retorts. Now do me big favor and go kiss your dog in the mouth! ROTFLMAO! |
Clearly the OP was asking for opinions on whether they "can" or "should" wear collars and opinions were offered.
I'm sure we could go on all day about products that aren't always safe that are legal to sell.
I still maintain that wearing a collar is a risk I'm not willing to take for accidents and/or damage to their trachea. I'm just as if not more concerned about the damage wearing it can cause.
