Martingale Collars Help You Take Safer Walks with Your Dog
Safer Walks with Your Dog
Little is more frightening than having your dog slip out of his collar during an on-leash walk, leaving him running free without identification. This all-to-common scenario occurs when a dog’s collar is too loose. Sometimes a buckle collar is simply the wrong size-too loose-but sometimes it is fitted just right and it still can slide off. This is a big problem for dogs with narrow heads, like greyhounds and many others.
Martingale or Greyhound Collars
For these dogs and others who are simply uncomfortable in an appropriately snug-fitting collar, a martingale collar can be the best choice. Sometimes known as greyhound collars, martingales are limited slip collars which tighten slightly when your dog pulls against the leash. An extra loop of fabric allows the dog collar to tighten a small amount, usually just a few inches, when the loop is pulled tight by a leash. Martingale collars tighten but can not choke a dog like some other slip collars can. They are safe and pain-free.
Martingale dog collars come in many colors and designs, like regular buckle dog collars. You can find snazzy red martingales or fancy holiday designs. You can get designer dog collars in the martingale style as well as leash/collar combinations that make it easy to take your dog for walks.
A martingale collar is a great way to keep your dog safe and comfortable when walking on a leash. A properly fitted martingale collar won’t slip off your dog’s head in a moment of panic, leaving you confident and able to enjoy your walks. Happy walking!
