Dog collars are an important accessory of man's best friend - they include your dog's registration tags, ID, and even leads (for leashes). This article deals with some useful information on collars - not necessarily need-to-know but useful nonetheless. Consider the following quick tips when shopping.
You need to find a collar that will fit around your dog's neck exactly. Once you have ensured this, then you can go on to choosing your desired style, pattern or color collar.
If you own a small dog, the best collar for him would be one of average weight - just right in the middle. For puppies, a thin, leather collar or a soft, nylon collar is ideal. If you own a Lab or a Great Dane or a similarly large, strong dog, then you definitely need a wide and heavy collar. To make sure that a collar is the right fit on your dog, make sure you can squeeze at least two fingers in between the dog's neck and the collar. However, you have to squeeze your fingers inside TIGHTLY - otherwise the collar might end up being too loose for your dog's neck. Finally, you will want to cut off the excess length of strap because otherwise, the dog might chew it.
A snap-on type fastener is the most common replacement for buckle collars, because it makes for easy adjustment of a collar's length. While a training collar doesn't look like anything to write home about, it's a much better choice for puppies rather than one of those "cool" looking choke collars.
Moreover, leather collars are long-lasting and are naturally softened by the oils of a dog's skin and they come in a variety of styles, widths, and colors. Nylon collars are washable and durable and are perfect for dogs that like to swim and for smaller dogs and puppies that need a softer touch. For bigger dogs, a nylon collar is okay, but it will need to be one with heavy webbing.
There are other collars that suit very specific kinds of dogs. Dogs who go surfing with their masters can actually wear collars made from the same fabric as wetsuits - now how about that? A head collar would be a good choice for owners of those hyperactive dogs that find it cute whenever they pull on the leash. One final specialized collar would be the harness, another great choice for those who own especially bouncy and energetic dogs - some can be used as a quasi-seat belt for your dog as he rides in your car, and they all come positioned around the chest area to prevent choking.
Dog collars generally come with matching leashes, and when talking possible designs and colors, let's just say they are countless. Research well and do not make any hasty purchases as you search for the best collar for your dog, because his comfort is your peace of mind at the end of the day.
