General Information About Leopard Print Dog Collars

By Nora Jennings


Dog collars refer to pieces of materials placed around the neck of dogs. Leopard print dog collars are just one of the many designs of collars on the market today. Collars with leopard prints are very useful for identifying a pet among other dogs. The prints are also made with very bright colors making the item easily identifiable from a distance. They can be bought from any store that deals with related products. Custom orders can also be placed from the manufacturers.

Other applications for a collar with leopard prints include control and fashion. The prints are currently very trendy and they help in beautifying pets. Leashes are sometimes attached onto the bands to offer a mechanism for controlling the pet manually. The animal can be prevented from running off by pulling the leash. Strangulation and hurting neck muscles are avoided by leaving enough space between the band and the neck.

There are several types of collars that can be used on animals. Some of the types include buckle, flea, break-away, safety-strength, painted, stud, oilcloth, fur saver, spiked, and reflective collars. A buckle collar is normally made from nylon webbing, leather, metal, polyester, or hemp. They comprise a buckle like that of a belt or a quick-release buckle, which is tied loosely around the neck. Name and medical tags and leashes are attached to them.

A break-away collar is similar to the buckle models only that it breaks loose when enough force is applied. They are used to avoid strangling the animal. Flea collar is normally an additional accessory that is placed on the animal plus the buckle collar. It is impregnated with chemical products in order to repel fleas.

Stud ribbon helps to prevent the neck from being bitten by other dogs. They comprise metallic studs or dulled points. These products have a long history and they were utilized in Ancient Greece to safeguard sheepdogs from predators like wolves. The product is used as a fashion article in modern society rather than a protective gear. Oilcloth bands are produced from cotton and vinyl. They are more durable and water resistant than other models.

Safety of dogs used in darkness is ensured by tracking them in some way. The common and most basic way is to wrap a lighted ribbon around their necks. The owner can see the dog from far because of the light emitted by lighted bands. Accidents can also be avoided because passing motorists are also able to see the light. The pet does not however get help from the band to see in darkness.

Light on the lighted bands comes from light emitting diodes. The light can be of any color, although colors that are widely used are red and blue. Power for the lights is supplied by light-weight batteries to avoid adding extra weight to the ribbon. Common battery types used are lithium coin cells and AAA.

Flotation collar is another widely used ribbon. It is a buoyancy aid meant for use on dogs in water. It gives the neck and head additional buoyancy although it does not function as a life jacket or preserver. The ribbon may be filled with air or be made from closed cell foam material. It is commonly used in canine hydrotherapy.
