Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this manual.
Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight
on the pet's neck may cause skin damage. This is called bed sores; it is also called
decubitus ulcers or pressure necrosis.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet's neck every 1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don't put pressure on the
electronic collar.
• Wash the dog's neck area 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 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

These steps will help keep your pet comfortable and safe. You may find after some
time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these
precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the neck area. If redness or
sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.

®
