Many states are planning for all dogs (including dogs that even have microchips) to be required to have a collar with a disc or plate that has its owner’s name and address. It is said that it’s a legal responsibility of owning a dog. On the other hand, there are a lot of owners of cats who don’t want to place a collar on their cats for safety reasons. Remember that a collar with a bell will be able to give a warning and safety for birds and other wildlife especially if you have a hunter cat.
Though there are some cases where a collar alone won’t be a good choice especially when your pet hasn’t completed its training and he still pulls the leash or has suffered previously from injury in the neck area or if it is impossible to safely and securely fit a collar on to your pet. In cases like this, it is always better to use a harness or a headcollar instead.
Call your veterinary hospital Ellicott City, MD to make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccinations are up to date before taking your pet on outdoor excursions.
