Read About Leopard Print Dog Collars

By Harriet Porter


Currently there are many types and styles of dog collars that serve different purposes. Leopard print dog collars are like any other collars only that they are printed with marks similar to a leopard coat. They come in different types including buckle, flea, Elizabethan, stud, break-away, slip, spiked, painted, oilcloth, and reflective, and safety stretch collars. Each type serves a different purpose ranging from providing safety and security for the animal to being a beauty item.

Buckle type ribbons are used more than other kinds because they are easy to find on the market. They get referred to as buckle bands because they get wrapped on the necks using buckles. When attached to leashes, they are used to confine dogs. They also are used as a means for securing, walking, and training dogs. Buckles cannot loosen or tighten because they are secured tightly. Strangulation result from very tight attachments while the dog may free itself if the attachment is not tight enough.

Flea ribbons do the same functions as the buckle collar, but provide additional functionality. The items are purposely meant for rebuffing fleas. The fiber or materials they are constructed from are normally infused with chemicals that are capable of keeping fleas and insects away. The chemicals emit toxic gases or are absorbed into the skin of the animal. This is an important function especially if the animal is wounded and needs to heal fast because insects can cause more injury or infect wounds.

Break-away collars provide safety to dogs from injury or strangulation in many different cases. They are commonly used on aggressive, restless, or playful dogs. Strangulation or injuries can be sustained by restlessness dogs when they get stuck in shrubs, kennels, or fences with no one near to rescue them. Break-away ribbons become useful in situations like those ones since application of enough force snaps them open.

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 is used to make dogs visible to owners and motorists at night. They come in a wide range of color, even though most manufacturers make them blue or red. The light comes from light emitting diodes that are built into the material making the product. The LEDs are powered by small batteries. Small batteries are used so as to avoid adding any significant weight to the collar.

Floatation ribbons are also called buoyant ribbons. They are buoyancy aids intended to help dogs to swim. Their purpose is to give the head additional buoyancy when in water, but cannot act as life preservers or life jackets. The bands are commonly used to rehabilitate injured dogs during canine hydrotherapy sessions. They may be made of foam or the fiber may be inflated with air to make them buoyant.

Various factors determine the prices at which modern collars go at. Material, use, type, the manufacturer, and features are some of the most influential factors. Several functions can also be performed by a single product.
