To me, the risk of a dog running away withOUT a collar is a bigger risk than getting injured by a collar, in my humble opinion. I remember dozens of dogs wandering into our neighborhood growing up that we would read their collar and they'd be returned home within minutes. I've never ever once met a dog who has been injured by a collar. I use a harness strictly to walk Jackson, but he is very rarely without his collar and ID tag. I never want the risk of him getting out without proper ID, and yes, he is microchipped too but a lot of general people do not know about microchips. |
