    Snowie doesn’t wear a collar at home - I think it’s more comfortable without, especially him not having to hear the jingle of his tag. But there’s no way he can escape our house and anyway he’s mostly inside. But I know someone whose dog jumped a high wall in a thunderstorm without his collar, and they never found him. So they stress the opposite: always wear a collar, including at home.

    When Snowie was a puppy he got his jaw stuck in a pug’s collar while playing. The collar pulled against the pug’s nose and cut it, lots of blood, pug collapsed. Thankfully recovered well. But yes, there are many similar stories, here on the forum.

    I’m pleased yours has a happy ending. It is frightening to think the worst.

    Oh what a shock. Well done you for remaining calm enough to release Peanut's collar, I do hope she's not to distressed by her experience.

    What a shock for both of you! I always take both dogs' collars off at home, and of course they don't wear collars while training. I hope Peanut is ok, and you too.

    So glad Peanut is ok, and that you were right there to help her. My sister's dog got her collar caught in the dishwasher, pulled the rack right out, a glass fell out and broke and the pup got a cut on her paw pad, thankfully not a bad cut.

    How awful for you and little Peanut. I had a terrible collar experience a few years ago where Hattie and Charlie were playing, rolling around, Charlie got his teeth caught under Hattie's collar, he rolled and thrashed around slowly strangling Hattie who screamed which was awful. It took myself and David to free them from their tightening collars. If we hadn't been at home I am in no doubt they would both have died. We never have collars on them indoors ever since that day.

    I read that a lot of puppies and dogs are hanged in their crates by their collars and it happens a lot more than you would think.

    I wonder if this subject should be on some sort of alert/sticky on the forum for everyone to see as it's so important. Mods any thoughts? xx
