Information On Leopard Print Dog Collars

By Harriet Porter


Currently there are many types and styles of dog collars that serve different purposes. Leopard print dog collars are like any other collars only that they are printed with marks similar to a leopard coat. They come in different types including buckle, flea, Elizabethan, stud, break-away, slip, spiked, painted, oilcloth, and reflective, and safety stretch collars. Each type serves a different purpose ranging from providing safety and security for the animal to being a beauty item.

Buckle type ribbons are readily available on the market making them the most widely used of all the other types. They get wrapped around the neck using buckles hence, their name. Together with leashes, they are applied in confining canines at a particular place. They also offer means for training, securing, and walking dogs. Buckles are secured tightly to prevent them from loosening or tightening too much. A loose attachment can free the dog while a tight one can cause strangulation.

Flea and buckle bands are utilized for the same functions although flea bands also do something else. Apart from identifying, confining, and securing canines, they also are used to rebuff fleas. Their surfaces are infused with toxic substances for keeping insects and fleas away. The skin of the dog absorbs the chemical allowing it to continuously emit toxic gasses. Insects and fleas can cause infection on wounds hence they must be kept away from animals with wounds.

Dogs are saved from injuries or strangulation in many different cases by break-away collars. These types of bands are useful on canines that are playful, aggressive, or restless. Dogs often get strangled or injured after getting stuck in fences or kennels if there is no one to help them. The usefulness of break-away ribbons in such like situations is unparalleled because they easily open up when pressure is applied on them.

Break-away ribbons incorporate safety release knobs for freeing struggling canines in dangerous situations. The buckles are snap open automatically whenever the bands are entangled. This makes them very advantageous. The item can be reused by snapping the buckle back together.

A lighted or reflective collar is used to make dogs visible to owners and motorists at night. They come in a wide range of color, even though most manufacturers make them blue or red. The light comes from light emitting diodes that are built into the material making the product. The LEDs are powered by small batteries. Small batteries are used so as to avoid adding any significant weight to the collar.

Floatation ribbons are also called buoyant ribbons. They are buoyancy aids intended to help dogs to swim. Their purpose is to give the head additional buoyancy when in water, but cannot act as life preservers or life jackets. The bands are commonly used to rehabilitate injured dogs during canine hydrotherapy sessions. They may be made of foam or the fiber may be inflated with air to make them buoyant.

Various factors determine the prices at which modern collars go at. Material, use, type, the manufacturer, and features are some of the most influential factors. Several functions can also be performed by a single product.
