Things To Know About NFL Team Dog Collars

By Rosella Campbell


Dog collars as implied by the name are pieces of material wrapped around the necks of canines. These articles are gaining more applications in the current era besides the initial uses they were used for originally. NFL team dog collars act as a kind of advertisement and are mostly used by fans. Besides advertisement, they can also serve other purposes like holding medical information, identification, and controlling. They are available in many forms to serve the varying user needs.

Types of dog collars are numerous and the major ones include chain slip, metal prong, martingale, stud, break-away, oilcloth, spiked, reflective, and fur saver collars. Chain slip bands are often referred to as choke chains. They primarily are used for training purposes. These items should not be used for any other purposes besides training because they can injure the canine on the neck. Proper knowledge on how to use a choke chain is required before one decides to buy it.

Metal prong ribbons are another type of collar used mainly for training dogs especially those that are strong and stubborn. They also get referred to as pinch chains and are effective at correcting dogs during training. Prior knowledge on how to use them is also required before buying them. Also, they must never be left on the dog when it is not being attended to. This is because they are a major source of strangulation hazard.

Martingale ribbons are also called slip or greyhound collars. They are primarily used to prevent dogs from slipping out when attached to leashes. They work best on dogs with small heads than the necks. They have a small loop and a big one. The big loop is tightened by the small loop when the dog pulls on the leash.

Strangulation of the animal is prevented by incorporation of a stopping mechanism which prevents the loop of the collar from closing too tightly. Although other materials can be used, nylon is the commonest of them all. There are different designs and colors of martingale ribbons. Even though they can be used on other breeds, they do best on sighthounds. Strangulation is avoidable through proper adjustment of the collar.

Lighted ribbons are also called collar light or dog light. They incorporate light emitting diodes to make the animal visible in darkness. This way, the owner can easily locate it in darkness and motorists can also avoid running it over. The diodes are powered by one or a set of batteries, normally the AAA or lithium coin cells. The diodes are not meant to assist the canine to see at night.

NFL collars are constructed from many different materials. Some of the commonest materials are plastic, cotton, leather, and nylon among others. They are made strong enough for use on small and big canines. Manufacturers also accept orders for customized products. Prices are dictated by many factors such as design, size, and the material the product is made from.

These products can be acquired from any store that stocks related products worldwide. Online sellers are also available for people to make orders through the internet. Authenticity of the online seller must be confirmed before making payments.
