Dog Collar Safety Tips


Dog Collar Safety - tips to help prevent injury and/or strangulation to your adorable Miniature Schnauzer.

Year after year, collar strangulation accidents injure or kill countless dogs and cats. Hopefully these safety tips will help prevent this tragedy from ever happening to your Miniature Schnauzer.

Dog Collar Safety tips:

  • Never restrain your Miniature Schnauzer by his collar and leash on any raised areas including: decks, tables, grooming tables, balconies, bed of trucks, etc..

    note: There have been reported accidents of strangulation occurring at the dog groomers. Make sure your groomer NEVER leaves your Miniature Schnauzer unattended on the table or places your Miniature Schnauzer with cable attached in a kennel.

  • Remove your Miniature Schnauzer's collar while he is at play with another animal in the privacy of your fenced in backyard. Dogs at play can easily become entangled causing them harm or death by strangulation.

  • The most difficult collar to remove in an emergency situation is the belt-buckle style collar. Refrain from using this type of collar on your Miniature Schnauzer.

  • Check your dog's collar regularly for proper fit. Your Schnauzer's collar should not be too tight or too loose. You should be able to place 2 fingers comfortably between the collar and your Schnauzer's neck.

  • Remove your Schnauzer's collar and ID tags when he's crated or in the comfort of your own home. Yes, many dog collar injuries happen when ID tags get snagged on carpet and furniture, too.

  • Premier Easy Walk Harness Black/Silver (Medium)Consider using a harness. A dog harness provides a more comfortable restraint for your dog. Many harnesses are even padded for even more comfort, too!

    The Premier Easy Walk Harness has aunique front-chest leash attachment stops pulling by tightening slightly across your dog's chest and shoulder blades. This harness never causes coughing, gagging, or choking because the chest strap rests low across the breastbone, not on the delicate tracheal area.

  • Consider having your Miniature Schnauzer microchipped and keep your contact information current. It could happen... your Schnauzer comes lose from his dog safety collar or gets out when not wearing his collar & ID tags. If your Schnauzer is microchipped, a vet or animal shelter will be able to scan your Miniature Schnauzer and identify you as the rightful owner.

Although we always preach: "Be sure your Schnauzer is wearing his collar and ID tags"... it is important to pay close attention to these warnings and dog collar safety tips to prevent a tragedy from happening!

Break-Away Dog Collar Safety The KeepSafe Break-Away Collar is the only collar that has a patented safety buckle that is designed to protect dogs from collar accidents AND it can be used securely with a leash. It protects a dog from collar strangulation by using a patented safety buckle that releases in emergency situations, such as when a dog is entangled with an object or another dog.

If a dog's KeepSafe Break-Away Collar becomes entangled, sufficient force is supplied to cause the safety buckle to release, freeing the dog from danger and saving it from possible strangulation. After the collar has released, it can be reattached and used again and again.

Check out this great safety dog collar that could save your Miniature Schnauzer's life!
