I’ve never, ever heard of a breakaway dog collar. Cats are the ones jumping off stuff, squeezing through small spaces, climbing and having a much higher risk of strangulation via a caught collar. Dogs don’t typically do that, so their risk is very, very low.
I’ve never seen a breakaway on a dog. My trainer recommended a martingale, though two dogs now are “special” and were abused rescues that bite the shit out of me.
I haven’t either, and I just did some searching and I’m not seeing vets saying you should use one. I’m seeing a lot of companies that sell them claiming that vets say that, but I’m not seeing it anywhere. I’ve had four dogs in my life and I’ve never been in a situation with any of them where a breakaway collar would be needed.
Pretty dog, now get a breakaway collar on it
