Choosing a Collar for Your Small Dog

One of the first choices you need to make when you bring home a small breed dog is whether or not to get a collar.

The answer to this question is yes. All dogs need to wear collars (even the small ones) to hold their identification. While you may choose to use a harness while walking your dog, your dog should always wear proper identification for safety. The other benefit to wearing a collar for small dogs is to hold a bell. Little dogs run quietly and quickly and a bell will help you find the dog if he or she gets out of site, and will also help you to avoid stepping on them when they dart between your feet for fun.

A collar will also give you the perfect place on which to display collar charms. Collar charms are a fun way for you and your dog to express personality. I have also heard many complaints on various forums about the lack of availability of collars for small dogs and teacup dogs, however there are many styles available in the small sizes. The smallest dog collars come in 6 to 8 inch lengths which will fit a 1.5 lb dog comfortably. There are collars available for small dogs in ribbon, fabric, leather, and even in ultra suede. It’s simply up to you to decide which style and design is right for your dog.

If you have questions or concerns about choosing the right collar for your small dog please feel free to contact us and let us help you choose the best option for pet. It is recommended that small dogs should not wear collars when walking, but should use a harness to prevent any pressure on the trachea that could cause collapse.
