The KeepsafeR Break-Away Collar was invented only after countless dogs either died or were seriously injured from collar strangulation. Is you dog at risk? Most accidents occur when the dog's collar gets caught in a fence, shrub, tree branch, crate, air vents or from two dogs playing together. This is especially common with puppies. Pet safety is an important part of caring for your dog. If your pet engages in any of the above activities, he is at risk. Sadly, most dog owners are totally unaware of these dangers. Every year thousands of dogs experience collar strangulation. In a recent survey, 96% of veternarians reported having seen or heard of collar-related injury or death within the last year. Your only insurance against this is a dog safety collar.
How does it work? With its patented safety release buckle, safety dog collars are specifically designed to release in emergency situations. If your dog's collar becomes entangled, sufficient force is applied to cause the safety buckle to release. Once released, they are easy to put back together again. On occasion our own dogs playing together have caused a release. It only took seconds to fix.
Why should I buy the breakaway collar? I don't think my dog's at risk. At one time or another, all dogs are at risk. Think of this as a really cheap insurance policy for your dog. For less than $20 you can protect him from this danger. Where else can you find insurance that cheap? The Keepsafe Breakaway Collar is proven to save lives!
If the collar fits loosely, can't my dog just slip out of it and be saved?
No! A loose collar is far more likely to get snagged and twisted, creating a life-threatening situation. There is little opportunity for a dog to slip out of a collar once it has become caught and twisted. If your dog loses his conventional collar, that should be a red flag that he may not be so lucky the next time.
How do I fit this collar on my dog?
For everyday use, the breakaway safety dog collar has a quick-snap fastener to take the collar on and off. As with any collar, you should adjust it so that one or two fingers can fit between the dog's neck and the collar.
What if my dog loses his Keepsafe Collar including his ID?
This can happen with any collar. The KeepsafeR Break-Away Collar is designed to be a part of a dog's collar "wardrobe" with different collars suiting different needs. For example, I use the Keepsafe collar as his everyday safety collar, the Gentle Leader Headcollar for walking (to prevent him from pulling on the leash) and other collars and leads for obedience training or "nights on the town." We recommend you have additional ID tags to keep on his other collars.
Can I safely walk my dog with this collar?
Absolutely! All you need to do is to attach the leash to the two D-rings. This will disengage the breakaway feature. See illustration below.
