| I agree. Not only can pups choke, I have heard of adult dogs getting strangled as well. I don't even trust the "quick release aka breakaway aka kitty klip" buckles because it takes a lot of pressure to make them release. |

| Penny is microchipped, wears a collar all the time except for when she's in her crate, and is walked on a harness. She has managed to get away from us twice so far, and she's not even two yet-- she's uncommonly naughty and a very strong little girl, and if she catches the scent of a rabbit or a mole or gosh knows what, she'll run for hours. I once had to enlist at least a dozen of my neighbors with their dogs (to lure her in!) and hot dog slices (to distract her while we snuck up on her) to recapture her after she managed to break her harness and take off running. So we have a plan, a back-up plan, and a back-up to the back-up plan.

| Mine don't know what a collar is either. The tags that we have are small, they are hooked on one of the harness loops. The tag has a plastic frame over them so there is no dingling as they walk, the furbabies don't even know its there. However I heard about a yorkie in another neighborhood ... who had gotten out of the home, a man driving by saw the dog, stopped on the side of the road to motion the yorkie to come to him, the dog went along to the car, a neighbor saw this happening, but the man in the van told him, hey, this is MY dog and took off with it, the collar with the tags were ignored or thrown away by the "NEW" owner, so having tags on a collar doesn't always bring the dog back home . I am rethinking .... perhaps I will micro chip.

| Teddi wears a collar all the time because if she didn't she wouldn't jingle jangle and we wouldn't be able to hear her. It is horrible when she is silent because you don't know where she is and there is a chance of stepping on her. Her collar has a name tag and bell and another little charm. She is also micro chipped.

| My furbaby wears a collar all the time. She has 3 tags on it (1 with our home info, 1 for her rabies & the other came with the collar) so they make enough noise that I can hear where in the house she is. I to also put a harness on her when we go for walks. |
