A very scary thing happened to my friend Fuddy today. Here's the story, as told by her mom:
This morning I came very close to losing Fuddy. She was playing with her friend and the other dog's lower jaw became caught in her collar, in their struggle to break loose, they flipped over, the collar pulled tighter and she began to choke. I mean, she was strangling right in front of me and I could NOT get that collar to unlock--because it was pulled so taut. She was making the most horrifying noises and almost passed out.
I finally got it to unlock--I have NO idea how but I came home, went online and learned this can happen very very easily and quickly. And dogs do DIE like this. So if you leave a collar on your dog while in the house, the yard or your dog plays with others...this can happen.
So please invest in a breakaway collar!
How frightening! Poor Fuddy!!
The way to avoid accidental strangulation is simple: get your dog a breakaway collar. You can purchase one here: Breakaway Collars at CoolDogToys.com
My mom is buying one for me...she loves me!
