Right some of you know I have a 18 month old Staffie Bitch. She has never like wearing a collar but the vet informed me she has to wear a tag by law. She is microchipped but apparently there has to be contact details.
I tried her with a leather collar and she hated it so for about the last year she has been wearing a material one. She has been scratching at it pretty much on and off since she has been wearing it (not constantly obviously but periodically) I thought every now and again it was fleas so I treat her regularly and the areas most likely for them to bed. I checked her yesterday and the collar has rubbed quite low around the bottom of her neck and it does look quite sore so ive left the collar off.
How tight or not should a collar be? any advice on a type that wont rub?
when I take her for walks she wears a harness but she cant wear one of them 24/7 . I have thought about just putting the collar on when she is out in the garden so far she has not escaped or even tried as long as the gate is shut she knows the boundary. Do I just leave it off and hope to remember to put it one when she is in the garden or I take her out in case she pegs it? what do the rest of you dog owners do ? do you leave the collar on all the time? is it something ive done wrong thats leaving it rubbing?
TIA
