Hello,

Do you leave clothes or collars on your furbabies when you aren't home??

I used to take all clothes and collars off Prince when I left. I did it so he didn't get hung up on anything and hurt himself as I've actually heard of dogs choking themselves with their collars. I especially did this when I would crate him.

Since I've gotten Ricky, I started leaving their collars on...and now that it is cold out, Ricky pretty much has clothes on him 24/7 because he's cold...but the other day, I came home and Ricky's back legs had came out of his jammies. Of course, I started thinking about the hazards and if he would have gotten the jammies caught on something....but I also feel bad leaving him naked and cold. My house is set at 72 and while he isn't shivering, he doesn't move around as much as he did this summer. He prefers to stay cuddled up on a warm blanket....even with clothes on.

So, I am wondering what others do with their dogs who typically wear clothes and/or collars. Do you take it off them when you are gone, or do you leave it on??


My boys aren't kept in crates while I am gone. They currently have free reign over the living room and kitchen
