Information About NFL Team Dog Collars

By Tanisha Berg


Collars provide safety and security to canines but also do several other functions besides that. NFL team dog collars are manufactured by authorized manufacturers only and have several customizations to make them suitable for the various functions they are used. The products are of several varieties and they vary in color and size to give buyers flexibility when making purchases. Products that hold NFL information are used for purposes of publicity to pass information to supporters and fun or members of public. They may have different colors, pictures, patterns, or images.

NFL team collars are also used to beautify dogs when wrapped around their necks. Many people use them as fashion accessories in various events. Apart from serving as beauty items, control of the dog can also be done using leashes attached on them. The leashes are attached onto the collar around the neck using buckles or other means.

Canines can also be identified through their collars. Tags bearing license numbers for the canine are attached onto the band. Some tags also have the name of owner and that of a canine and contact and address information. In veterinaries, tags with medical information of the canine are attached on the ribbon.

Collars also find application in training canines. Animals are guided through obstacles during training using leashes. Dogs can also stay alert for longer when secured with leashes. This allows them to respond to commands better. Factors such as the weight, temperament, size, and breed of the canine are some of factors one should consider when buying a collar.

There are many types of collars some of which are not used for common applications or by common people. This article will highlight the major types and how they are used. The major collar types are buckle, break-away, flea, Elizabethan, stud, harness, and slip collars. Of all the types mentioned above, buckle ribbons are the most common.

The buckles on buckle ribbons resemble those used on belts hence their name. Some however incorporate quick-release buckles instead of the normal buckles. Nylon webbing or leather are the main materials used to make them. When used, they are wrapped loosely around the neck to avoid injuries. Flea ribbons rebuff fleas because they are infused with toxic chemicals. Chemicals in the item help in keeping away fleas by being absorbed into the coat of an animal. In most cases they are additions.

Break-away bands provide safety to the dog because they break open easily when a given amount of force is applied by the dog. They primarily offer protection against injuries and accidental strangulation. On the contrary stud ribbons protect dogs from being bitten by other dogs or animals like wolves. This function is however becoming less of interest because the studs are applied more as a form of beauty and fashion items than shields against neck bites.

Other names for a slip collar are choke or slip chain. Materials of manufacture are chains or nylon. They incorporate rings at the ends which are convertible into a collar. They mostly find use during training sessions.
