Information On Leopard Print Dog Collars

By Harriet Porter


The many styles and types of collars on the market are used for various purposes in different situations. Leopard print dog collars are similar to other bands with the major difference being in the imprints on their surfaces. The collars come in different types such as buckle, flea, slip, spiked, painted, Elizabethan, stud, oilcloth, reflective, safety stretch, and break-away collars. The purposes served by the various types range from offering security and safety to animals to being beauty items.

Buckle type ribbons are the most commonly used and available on most markets. Their name results from the fact that they contain buckles used to wrap them around the neck. They are commonly used for restraining dogs using a leash. Common applications include providing a means for walking, training, and securing dogs. The buckles provide a tight attachment that cannot loosen to release the canine or tighten up to strangle it.

The functions performed by flea and buckle bands are similar, except that flea ribbons have extra functionality. Besides securing, identifying, and restraining canines, they also rebuff fleas. They get made of materials that are infused with toxic chemicals that keep away fleas and insects. The chemicals work by getting absorbed into the outer layer of the skin of a dog or by releasing toxic gases. This function is important especially on dogs with wounds because insects and fleas cause infections on wounds.

Break-away collars are a safety item meant to protect the animal from possible strangulation or injury. They are mainly important on dogs that are very aggressive, restless, or playful. Restlessness can sometimes cause canines to get stuck in fences, shrubs, or kennels and if not saved on time, they may sustain injuries or get strangled. Break-away ribbons are useful in such situations because they can be easily broken when a given level of force is applied on them.

Dogs struggling under dangerous situations are freed by safety release knobs incorporated in break-away ribbons. When the band gets entangled, the buckle opens automatically. This renders the product very beneficial. Snapping the item back together makes it usable again.

A lighted or reflective collar serves the purpose of making dogs visible at night. Red and blue are the main colors although there are some of various colors too. The materials they are made from are built with light emitting diodes that produce light at night. Small batteries are used to provide power to the LEDs. To avoid making the products heavier, the batteries used are light and small in size.

Floatation ribbons also go by the name buoyant ribbons. They refer to swimming aids for dogs. They work by giving the head buoyancy when in water. It should however be understood that they are not a form of life jackets or life preservers. Their major use is in rehabilitating injured canines during hydrotherapy sessions. They are buoyant because they get made from foam or are filled with air.

Modern day collars cost differently depending on various factors. Some of them include material, type, manufacturer, use, and features incorporated. Some of the products can be used for more than one function.
