Most dog owners don’t realize the harm a dog collar can cause. Veterinarians have reported dogs with tracheal collapse in varying degrees up to death, permanent pain injuries due to spinal problems, epilepsy, and even broken teeth and legs, all from dog collars.
We suspect this may true of cats that are leashed also.
So what can you do?
1. Replace the collar with a harness, as shown above.
2. Don’t yank your cat’s leash as a training technique or punishment. Evidently a training coach at a Petco store accidentally killed one of his student dogs by doing this.
3. Make sure the harness fits correctly. You should be able to slip a thumb under the harness, but not your whole hand.
4. If your cat stays in at night, remove the harness for the cat’s comfort and health.
