General Information About Leopard Print Dog Collars

By Nora Jennings


Dog collars are pieces of material put around the neck of canines. Leopard print dog collars are among the many types of collars in the market currently. It is very simple to identify a dog that has a collar with leopard prints among other pets. It is also easy to spot the animal from a far because the prints are brightly colored. Any store that sells pet products is one of the places one can buy this product from. One can also place orders with manufacturers for customized products.

Other purposes for such a collar with leopard prints include fashion and control. The prints are very trendy in many places and make the pet to look beautiful to viewers. Leashes can be attached onto the collar to provide a means of controlling the animal manually. A person grabs the leash and prevents the animal from running off by pulling it. Enough space is normally allowed to prevent strangling or hurting muscles in the neck.

There are many kinds of collars that are used on pets. Some of the main types include safety-strength, painted, buckle, flea, break-away, stud, fur saver, spiked, reflective, and oilcloth collars. Buckle bands are normally made from leather, metal, polyester, hemp, or nylon webbing. They have buckles like those in belts or quick-release buckles tied around the neck loosely. Medical and name tags and leashes get attached to them.

A break-away collar is similar to the buckle models only that it breaks loose when enough force is applied. They are used to avoid strangling the animal. Flea collar is normally an additional accessory that is placed on the animal plus the buckle collar. It is impregnated with chemical products in order to repel fleas.

Stud ribbon protects the neck from bites from other dogs. They have metallic studs or dulled points on the outer surfaces. Their use originated in Greece where they were used to protect sheepdogs from predators. Current application of the product is as an article of fashion and not a safety band. Oilcloth bands are longer lasting and water resistant than others because they are manufactured from vinyl and cotton.

Dogs that are used in darkness need to be tracked to be safe. This is done by wrapping a lighted band on the canine. Lighted bands emit light that allows the owner to notice it from far. Passing motorists can also see the light from far and avoid running the animal over. The band does not however help pets to see in darkness at all.

Light emitting diodes are used to give light in lighted bands. Red and blue are the most commonly used colors although other colors can be used in the lights. Light-weight batteries are used to supply the LEDs with power to avoid adding weight to the ribbons. Commonly used battery types are AAA and lithium coin cells.

Another commonly used type of ribbon is the flotation collar. This is a buoyancy aid specifically meant for dogs. It does not necessarily act as a life jacket or a life preserver but it gives the head and neck additional buoyancy. The band may be inflated with air or the material may be closed cell foam. Common application is in canine hydrotherapy.
