both our dogs took about 2 seconds from walking into the room with the needle to walking back out. jonny just looked at the vet, hansel yelped quickly and on our way we went. i cannot imagine putting them out for THAT. but neither one dislikes going either. they both look at it as an AMAZING chance to smell, jump, chase, visit, investigate,… well you get the idea. they love it there. SO MANY dog food bags to smell. lol
Martingale collar question
-
I just bought a martingale collar. I am wondering how to adjust it properly. When it is in the closed position, should it be tighter than a regular collar or should I be able to fit two fingers in when the collar is tight? I want to make sure I do what is best for my little girl.
Thanks,

Hi!
Is the buckle type of the snap type? I'm not sure which one you purchased. I always leave just enough room to fit two fingers. I know with puppies, their necks are still small and two fingers might seem like a lot of room. I would just make sure their heads are not able to slip out.

When you pull a martingale tight, the two rings that attach with the smaller loop should not touch. There should be at least about two inches between the two rings. When the collar is not being tightented it should be loose on the neck. But not so loose that the dog can get their mouth on it to chew it.
I hope that explains it well?

And yes, when it is being pulled, it should be tighter than a regular collar, so that they can't wiggle their head out.

That explains it well.
Next question, is it a bad idea to use it on a puppy? Zuri is 4 1/2 months old. -

On a side note, we found the cutest martingale collars on ebay. They are made by "ifitwags".
