| I use a cat collar, and then when Holly goes outside I strap a doggy harness on her. Cat collars are quick release, so if they get snagged inside the house the collar will come off so they don't choke. Cat collars also have bells!

| I tried a collar on Princess when I first got her but she was such a maniac on the leash, choking herself and not caring so she could get her next sniff, that I got her a harness. Then I learned about collapsed trachea & vowed to never use a collar. I put her tags on her harness and can hear her little jingle, which without I prob would've turned around and stepped on her. A lot of people on here say they only use a harness for walking, outings, etc....why is that? fashion or are they thought to be uncomfortable? And as far as break-away collars I understand they would be great if a dog got caught up on something, but isn't that an easy way to lose the I.D. on the pup, too? Sooo many questions! The more I learn, the more I need to know! |

| ...about the break-aways i just meant more if the dog got loose, lost it's collar & tags...then what? if your dogs not chipped & someone finds it with no i.d. i just think someone might be more inclined to keep it...not judging anyone that uses it, just wondered if that causes worry. |

| I wondered about that...even the break always for safety...Elvis came to me (well he was less than ideally cared for by his condition) but anyways he wore a collar that was obviously well used...his hair around his neck still grows in strangely around what is obviously the ring of the collar-I took it off his the day I got him it's been over a year, he's been shaved there twice and I try to retrain the hair...he was two when I got him... I'd assume no irritation of the skin or people wouldn't do it but I meant hair irritation...not to offend anyone I know some people have a hard time with harnesses and also want ID tags on their dogs all the time...but I have wondered about hair "irritation" also-Yorkie's don't have coarse fur they have hair... I noticed a few people pointed out what I have always thought too, I mean great ppl r u using break away collars...but for tags what about when they break away if they out

I personally don't like breakaways for the reason you stated. I've heard they pop off pretty easily and I think that kind of defeats the purpose of a collar with id tags if they fall off, they are useless. But I also have a bigger guy (16lbs) so I just wouldn't feel comfortable using a breakaway.

| So what type of material do you look for in a collar - leather, nylon, rolled leather? Kody will be getting his last set of vaccinations really soon - and then we can begin to take walks, I can't wait. I need to get him a collar for his tags though. Any suggestions?
