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. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers; this condition is commonly known as
bed sores.
• 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; it will cause excessive pressure on
the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, do not put pressure on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog's neck area and the contacts of the 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 collar until the skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.

These steps will help keep your pet comfortable and secure. Millions of pets are comfortable
while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. 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 contact area. If redness or
sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
The PetSafe Rechargeable Bark Collar must be used only on healthy dogs. We recommend
