Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with these and if they really work.
Buster turned one yesterday and the poor baby was in surgery - yuk!
He broke a tooth last week. I still don't have a clue how he did it. I had just swept the hard wood floor and walked back through and saw something white on the ground, when I picked it up, it was one of his lower canines. Youch! So, I took him to the vet and I could either get a crown or a cap, both of which I would have to travel two hours away and spend at least $500 closer to $1,000.00 OR my vet could just take the rest of it completely out.
So yeseterday, I took him in on his birthday no less to get a tooth pulled.
While he was there, they put his microchip in - that being the whole reason I pose the collar question. I figure it doesn't do much good to have a micro chip if no one knows it's there. They gave me a tag to put on his collar, but I only put a collar on him when we go for walks.

Hope Buster is recovering well,what a way to spend your birthday?
About collars,Waldo loves wearing his,plus he's microchipped.
Whenever we wash him,and the collar comes off,once he's dry,he'll have spent the whole time fidgeting/or run round with it in his mouth/giving me a dirty look until it goes back on appicon

I had bought Arnie a plastic clip on collar when he was a pup because it was adjustable Well my brother stepped on it one day and after that it was a breakaway collar LOL Arnie would just think about going the other direction on a walk and it would just fall apart LOL

sorry im not much help but If it were me Id keep the collar on my pup unless he/she is in the crate... I dont like them sneaking up on me and pressing thier wet nose to my leg or arm It FREAKS me out haha

I'd never heard of these collars until today. I went on their website, and it seems like a really good option if you are going to leave your dog with a collar on all the time. Has anyone else used these?
