Really? Apollo would get his off every single time. After we lost the third one I gave up.

Almost every cat we’ve ever had has managed to get the break-away part of their collar stuck in their mouths. I have no idea why that always seems to happen, but it does.

Thank you for the correction Denise! I didn’t realize that. That makes sense.

So glad for the conversation! Not to quibble but the D rings, while they look like plastic, are a strong nylon, and very tough.

Brody and Pru are two peas in a pod when it comes to terrorizing excited dogs. Pru loves to hassle her two lab friends when they are kenneled and stir them into a huge frenzy then run to my lap gloat. I can almost picture her sticking out her tongue as she does so.

Yep, that would probably not be too helpful for him. But if he can slip out of any collar anyway all collars would be safety collars for him!

Deb’s right- there are plastic clips on either side of the elastic, so when the leash is attached it cannot stretch.

I think if you clip a leash through the rings, then the collar won’t stretch. No leash holding the rings together, then it can stretch open. Never seen one in action, but that is what I am thinking!

I also wonder how these collars would work on dogs that have bigger necks than their heads (like Enzo). We have to use a martingale on him because otherwise, on walks, he slips out of regular collars and goes running.

Hmmm, but the reason I always figured dogs did not have safety collars is because we use those collars for walking, and for ID purposes. I assume you couldn’t use these collars for walks (unless the release mechanism requires human intervention?) and while ID loss is preferable to strangulation it kind of defeats the purpose of having the collar to begin with…
