DogPaddle Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Not a huge issue here - purely cosmetic but: Kavik has a lovely ruff through his neck and chest but his collar puts a groove in it. If we leave it off for a good while it lookse better but I don't like leaving the collar off. Is there a trick anyone knows that will minimize the problem. Not that it matters right now - his coat looks a little rough because I ended up cutting burs out off it. He actually lied down in a patch of them and his tail was attatched to his behind and his . . . vulnerable underneaths - I can't imagine it was comfy. You have never seen a dog sit so still as when I was trimming that up. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk_blue Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 DP what sort of collar does Kavik wear? I am not sure but I think there are some collars that don't leave such big grooves; don't know which ones though. maybe nylon instead of leather...??

DogPaddle Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 We use a nylon collar but leave it as loose as possible, maybe we should tighten it up a bit so it does not move around and wear at the coat and break off hairs? Maybe he has a brittle coat? Zaphod's coat is not effected by the collar much at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk_blue Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I honestly don't know... you can always try it and see if it works? (this is why I like having short haired dogs!!!! :wink: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseatthebusstop Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 mine only wear collers when we are going out to stop the coat getting marked. They are miro-chiped so they have ID :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
