The main functions of dog collars include traction and control, health and safety protection, and identification. By wearing a collar, owners can more easily traction and control dogs, prevent them from running around or accidentally ingesting harmful substances, thereby reducing the risk of contact with parasites and injuries. In addition, the collar can also serve as an identification mark for dogs, helping owners to keep track of the dog's location at all times, especially in public places or when the dog is lost, which helps to quickly find it.
The specific uses of different types of collars are also different. For example, the Elizabethan collar is mainly used to prevent dogs from scratching wounds after injuries or surgery and promote wound healing. The anti-wolf collar is designed to protect working dogs such as shepherds from fatal attacks when facing wild animals.
Choosing a suitable collar requires considering the dog's size, activity needs, and usage scenarios. The material of the collar should be comfortable and durable to ensure the dog's comfort when wearing it. For working dogs or dogs that require high-intensity traction, it is more important to choose a sturdy collar. For dogs that need to protect wounds, soft collars that do not affect wound healing should be selected.
