Information 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.

Collars are of many kinds and the key ones include martingale, metal prong, stud, chain slip, break-away, fur saver, oilcloth, spiked, and reflective collars. Choke chains ribbons are also called chain slip. They are used for training alone. These items result in severe neck injuries when used for other purposes besides training hence one should take precaution. If one does not know how to use a choke chain, they should not try to apply it.

Metal prong ribbons are also used primarily for training strong and stubborn dogs. Their other name is pinch chains and they provide an effective mechanism for correcting dogs during training sessions. One should know how to use them well before buying them. Also, the dog should never be left unattended to when the metal prong is on. This is due to the fact that metal prong ribbons can easily cause strangulation if the canine is left alone.

Martingale ribbons are solely used to keep dogs attached to leashes by stopping them from slipping out. They are also known as slip or greyhound ribbons. They are mostly intended for use on dogs with big necks and small heads. They comprise two loops, one small and the other one big. Pulling the leash causes the small loop to tighten the big one.

The collar further comprises of a stopping mechanism that prevents the big loop from closing completely or strangling the animal. They mostly are made from nylon or related materials. They are available in a wide collection of designs and colors. They are most suitable for sighthounds even though they can be used on other breeds of canines. Proper adjustment is however necessary in order to avoid accidental strangulation.

Lighted ribbons also called dog light or collar light incorporate diodes to make dogs easily visible in darkness. Animals with lighted bands can be spotted from far by the owners and motorists hence preventing possible accidents. The diodes derive power from a single cell or a set of batteries. AAA and lithium coin cells are the most commonly used power sources. Diodes on these products are not for helping the canine to see in darkness.

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.

Dog collars can be bought from stores that deal with related commodities from anywhere. Internet-based sellers are also available and they accept orders from clients all over the world. To avoid losses, one must check into the seller before paying for orders.
