Step 11: Fit the Receiver Collar
Proper fit of the receiver collar is important. A receiver collar worn for too long or made too tight on your pet’s neck may
cause skin damage, ranging from redness to pressure ulcers. This condition is commonly known as bed sores.
• Avoid leaving the receiver collar on your pet for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible, reposition the receiver collar on your pet’s neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a leash to the receiver collar; it will cause excessive pressure on the contact points.
• When using a separate collar for a leash, do not put pressure on the receiver collar.
• Wash your pet’s neck area and the contact points of the receiver collar weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the receiver collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
• For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet secure and comfortable. Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless
steel contact points. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is very
tolerant of the receiver collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of
the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
