A dog collar can be made of plastic, leather or a cloth and must be placed circling a dog's neck to stop the dog from running away. A dog collar is widely used for a number of different uses. Some owners use a dog collar to tie up the dog and take him/her on a stroll; owners adore pups and therefore wish to keep them from escaping. It can be overwhelming to deal with the death of a pet for this reason.

People who have bigger dogs (Great Danes, Bulldogs, or German shepherds, for example) would want to get a leather collar the reason being that leather is extremely durable. Also, many enjoy the look of leather in comparison to other materials. As long as the dog does not pull the chain, which is leashed to the collar, the leather collar should not become frayed. Also people who love smaller canines like a Pomeranian would see more benefit with a cloth or nylon-webbed dog collar. These are usually cheaper and available in smaller sizes for smaller breed pups such as the Pomeranian. Due to the fact many small canines don't have the power to tear through a collar, for more petite canines, these nylon or cloth collars are something that should probably work. These collars come in a myriad of colors, designs, and sizes. Not only are there different colors but also available are florescent collars that are visible in poorly lit areas so that the person can see his/her canine at all times.

Collars do not only come in different styles and sizes specific to certain breeds; they are also constructed to handle other purposes. a couple of collars are adorned with studs or other decorations that can add a sparkly look; especially if the pup is a female. These studs, however, have a use other than aesthetics. Studs are occasionally used to provide safety for the pup in case another canine tries to bite the pup that has the studded collar on.

In addition to colors and decorations, pup collars can also come with pesticides on them. Typically, these medicated collars are dunked in a solution that kills fleas. Additionally, medicated collars are used to ease a dog's ache from several dermal conditions. The medication that are distributed through the color is in small amounts and lingers for a couple of months.

Canine collars can be used for educational purposes. These collars are usually used only for education and taken off any other time. These collars should be worn without tightening; there have been mortal cases due to an over-tightened collar fastened to the dog's neck. It is important that this collar be used specifically for training, and for no other reason. If you are unsure about how to work with the collar, you should consult a dog trainer on the web or at a specific training facility.

Dog collars are an essential component to owning a canine. Not only is it not dangerous for your dog to be on a leash, it is also not dangerous for other people. Often, collars are crafted to hold a tag on the canine that includes their owner's home location and phone number in case the dog gets lost. This very benefit has given the ability for many dogs to be reunited with their owners after losing their way.
