Mats around collar area I comb both Venus and Adonis out every night. I never realize how many mats are just too close to the collar till they get a bath, and collar is off, then I try to groom them. Venus is a nightmare around her collar area. Venus, wow, very patient dog, and loves to be groomed. She seemed to really enjoy all the time spent getting mats out. Thank God for Cowboy Magic. With me combing them every night, I just can't see how many mats I miss right around the collar area. I refuse to let them roam even my own yard without collars with tags and ID info for microchip. Afraid if one got out without the collar on, that would be the last I'd see of them. Does anyone know of a collar that doesn't cause matts around the neck area? Is there a such thing as that at all? |
I would not put the collar on them. IMO if you feel you want to ID them, get tattoos or microchip. Collars are not for yorkies. |
When I leash walk them, the harness goes on. Collars are on the rest of the time, with their ID it. I feel my babies need some ID all times. I quit leavning harness on, with ID on it, when it messed up my babies hair. They ARE both microchipped. But I just don't feel that is enough. Many if they see a dog with no collar on without the owner around, they will think the dog has no owner. |
I'm like you. Sadie is microchipped, but she's such a runner (as in runs away from me) that I'm always afraid she'll run out the door sometime when I go out. So her collar is on her all the time. My breeder is always on me about the mats around her neck. I've been taking her collar off at night and when I'm gone during the day and that seems to help. |
Mine wear the rolled leather collars. They don't matt the fur. I don't lead them by the collar. The collar is used to hold their name and phone number. Ya just never know when they will get loose, and maybe some dog chases them off to where you can't find them. |
Have you tried a silk collar? I heard that silk and satin don't cause mats, but I haven't tried them to find out first hand. |

and I use a harness to walk her also ... and she is microchipped as well ... better safe than sorry--- especially with all the stories I have been hearing about babies getting away ... |
I had just around Fantasia's neck cut very, very low, for her collar. |
I had that problem a couple of years ago until someone told me about the rolled leather collar that's made especially for the long coated dogs. They work so great! http://www.schaafleatherwork.com/pages/dog/collar2.html |

I found the rolled leather collars at Petco but I'm sure Petsmart has them also. |
