Things To Know About NFL Team Dog Collars

By Rosella Campbell


Dog collars refer to pieces of material that are placed around the neck of dogs. These articles have many uses in the current society besides those that they were used for initially. NFL team dog collars are used as a form of advertisement to the public. Besides advertisement, they are also used for other purposes such as identification, controlling, and for holding medical information. They come in many types to suit the varied needs of the users.

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 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 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.

The stopping mechanism incorporated in the collar prevents the loop from closing tightly as to strangle the animal. Nylon is the most common materials used to make them although other materials can be used too. Martingale ribbons come in a variety of colors and designs. Although they can work on other dogs, they are most suited for sighthounds. Accidental strangulation should be avoided by ensuring that it is properly adjusted.

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 made from a wide range of materials. Some of the most commonly used types of fibers are nylon, plastic, cotton, and leather among many others. Manufacturers make them with enough strength to be used on small as well as big dogs. It is also possible to acquire custom made products by visiting manufacturers and specifying the customizations needed. Prices vary depending on the size, design, and material used to make the product.

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.
