of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the pet's neck may
cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly
known as bed sores.

• Wash the dog's neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.

these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or
sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
