Custom Dog Collars Safety And Identification

By Charles Baker


All domesticated breeds of dog have been said to be man's best friend. There is no animal on earth that shows more loyalty and can give more companionship. They come to be a loved member of the family and as such the owner will do many things to protect his dog. One of them is in the purchase of a custom reflective dog collar.

Many animals, dogs included, are required by state law to be licensed. When you buy a dog, the process of getting it licensed is proof that the animal has had it shots. The most important one is it's rabies vaccine that can save your animal from a deadly disease. Upon licensing, you are given a tag that can be attached to your dog's neckband. These tags are stamped with a number that could result in the animal being traced back to you if it should become lost. Even well trained dogs have been known to wander off, but there is even a better way to insure that your dog is returned to you safe and sound.

One excellent way to keep your pet protected is with the purchase of a good dog collar. There are many to choose from at your local pet store. Most owners will want one that reflects the personality of their pet as well as their own specific likes and dislikes. For lasting durability, the best choice would be a genuine leather neckband. Coming in a variety of sizes and colors, you are sure to find one that will fit your dog to a tee.

Genuine leather is best suited to large dogs. The amount of strength exerted when they run and play can produce havoc on a collar that is shoddily made. One of the best things to be done to these units is the addition of reflective material. What a lifesaver this can be if your pet were to become lost during the evening or the night. A motor vehicle driver is so much more apt to spot your animal when he is wearing a strip of reflective material and save both of them from a terrible mishap.

Custom collars can do much more than offer reflection safety for your dog. Pet store owners can offer a them made for your animal in particular. Your name and address as the owners along with the dogs name and any special needs he may have, can all be embossed on his collar. Don't let your pet end up in a shelter when the lost animal can easily be returned to you.

If perchance you local pet store does not offer these fantastic leather units, there are internet sites and pet supply catalogs that offer them. They may be a bit more costly when you add in shipping and handling, but a loved pet is worth the cost. You may wish to order a spare It is surprising how often a collar can be misplaced when it is removed for the animal's bathing and grooming necessities.

When ordering your dog's neckband be sure and keep a few things in mind. Your best choice is always real leather no matter how much man made leather is now bragged about. Any information that is to be put on the collar should be double checked for accuracy. This needs to be done when it is ordered and again when the completed item is in your hand. A matter of your address being listed as a street rather than an avenue can extend the traumatic time you are separated from your pet.

A custom reflective dog collar is one of the wisest purchases you will ever make. Along with the necessary information, pick a dog collar that has a design that you like and suits the qualities of your dog. Embossed little daisies wouldn't do much for a male Labrador Retriever. It shouldn't just protect the dog, but reflect its size and breed. Whether from a pet store or ordering through the mail, a few short days will give you possession of the greatest thing you can do for your pet.
