| No more collars! Since Minnie is on antibiotics for tracheal irritation I no longer use collars. I bought her a harness and took her on her first walk today since we have had her (4months) and she is 6 months old now. She did really good and did not sit and refuse to walk. I am such a proud YT Momma. Do you use a harness, collar or both? Also she has a rabies tag as she is UTD on vaccines, where am I supposed to put that at on the harness? |

| Only harnesses in our home! I sometimes moon over those fancy, pretty collars but then I find some very pretty harness vests too. So much safer.

| I never use a collar on Zhoie, after reading and learning from our experienced YT friends all the issues they can cause. She have several harnesses for Zhoie and I put an I.D. tag on each of them. I attached to the metal clip of the harness just like you would on a collar.

| I always use a harness with Sammy. He used to wear a collar til the vet told me not to. He wears the harness all the time. There is a ring on it that I put his Rabies tag, ID tag and Dog License. I find that he doesn't pull me when he wears a harness like he did when he wore a collar. |

| The metal thing is on where the leash goes, just don't know if I should put the tag for her there or not. I just don't want her to chew on the tag to where its not recognizable. Quote:

| I use a collar just to hold her name tag and rabies tag but I use a harness whenever the leash will be hooked to her.

Only problem with cat collars I tried was the break away was too loose and I kept losing them.

| Sophie Kate is a harness and collar wearer. Harness ONLY when walking or riding in the car and a collar is on her 24/7 with her tags. Everyone knows never to walk her with a collar (she has a collapsed trachea) but I keep her leash attached to her harness just in case. Only time the collar is off is when she is being bathed or groomed.

| The only time I've ever used collars was for ID tags only, but have since stopped that as well. I only use step in harnesses. I put their bling and ID tags on claw clips so I can easily change them from one harness to another.

| When I took corky to the vet, she told me not to use collars, say it causes throat issues. Now I do keep one on him for his tags, But use an harness to walk him. |
