Breakaway Collars
Premier KeepSafe Break-Away Collars
For those of us who have to leave our dogs home alone or
in their crates for extended periods of time, a big
concern is the possibility of their collar getting
tangled in something and a tragic accident occurring. A
remedy for that is the breakaway collar.
Most veterinarians and professional trainers have seen
and heard horror stories involving dogs getting
seriously injured or worse by a collar injury. Many
times these accidents happen in the most innocent ways.
If you often take your dog to the park or have play
dates with other dogs in your neighborhood, you may want
to consider a breakaway collar. Many dogs have died when
another dogs teeth, feet, or collars became entangled
with their collar.
If you frequently have your dog in an outside kennel, a
breakaway collar is a great investment. Your dog could
easily get caught up on a loose or broken wire. Even if
you leave your dog loose in the house while you are at
work there are many potential hazards that you may not
even recognize.
Breakaway collars work by using a safety lock closure
that will unclasp if the dog gets caught up in
something. This will allow the dog to free himself. The
strength of the breakaway clasp varies depending on the
force and the angle applied to the collar. In most
cases, the collar will easily unclasp from your dogs
neck. If the safety lock does breakaway, you can easily
reconnect it for reuse.
Many companies offer breakaway collars. One of the best
available is the Premier KeepSafe Break-Away collar. The
KeepSafe collar features a breakaway clip that will
quickly release if your dog gets his collar caught on
something or while playing with another dog.
Many owners are concerned that they cannot use a
breakaway collar while outside on the leash. One of the
great things about Premiers KeepSafe Break-Away collar
is that there are metal rings on both sides of the
breakaway clip. When using a leash with the breakaway
collar, simply attach the leash to both rings and the
KeepSafe collar functions as a regular collar.
The breakaway collar is adjustable, so when fitting it
to your dog, make sure that it is tight enough, but that
you can fit two fingers between the collar and your
dogs neck. The Premier KeepSafe Break-Away collar also
features a snap closure and is made of nylon.
The Premier KeepSafe Breakaway collar is recommended for
every day use. You can attach your dogs tags to one of
the metal rings. However, if you frequently tie your dog
outside, use of the KeepSafe collar is not recommended.
Our dogs are our best friends and it is only natural to
worry about their safety. By using a Premier KeepSafe
Break-Away collar, you can rest assured that your dog
will be safe in most situations. For more information,
speak to your veterinarian, dog trainer or other pet
professional or visit
