Read About 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.

The functions performed by flea and buckle bands are similar, except that flea ribbons have extra functionality. Besides securing, identifying, and restraining canines, they also rebuff fleas. They get made of materials that are infused with toxic chemicals that keep away fleas and insects. The chemicals work by getting absorbed into the outer layer of the skin of a dog or by releasing toxic gases. This function is important especially on dogs with wounds because insects and fleas cause infections on wounds.

Break-away collars are a safety item meant to protect the animal from possible strangulation or injury. They are mainly important on dogs that are very aggressive, restless, or playful. Restlessness can sometimes cause canines to get stuck in fences, shrubs, or kennels and if not saved on time, they may sustain injuries or get strangled. Break-away ribbons are useful in such situations because they can be easily broken when a given level of force 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.

During night time, dogs are made visible by a special collar called lighted or reflective ribbon. This type of ribbon is majorly colored red or blue even though other colors are also available. Light emitting diodes are built into the material they are constructed from for emitting light during nighttime. Power for the LEDs is derived from tiny batteries. Small and light batteries are used to make the products light.

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.

Modern collars go at different costs depending on a number of factors. Major factors include material, use, features, type, and the manufacturer. Most products also perform more than a single function.
