This is a subject that I go back and forth on. Until I had Ginger and started reading about collapsed trachea, every dog I ever had wore a collars 24/7. Kirby still does. My 6 lb shih tzu did, all of my schnauzers. And I NEVER had a problem, not once because of it.
So...I think, Ginger's and Bernie are each twice the size of my shihtzu.
I would be DEVASTATED if either of them were lost!!!!
Microchips are great, but unless the person who finds them takes them into a shelter for a scan, useless.
Well, you've all given me more food for thought. Not sure yet what I'll do. |
