Traditional Leads & Collars
The area around a dog’s throat is one of the most vulnerable yet is often an overlooked part of a dog’s anatomy. Pressure from a collar and lead can restrict blood flow and neural pathways and cause or exacerbate many physical conditions including:
- Eye problems caused by Intraocular eye pressure
- Collapsed Trachea
- Syringomyelia
- Brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome
- Sensitive throats (e.g. after Kennel cough)
- Thyroid disorder
A collar or lead can also inhibit recovery following surgery.
Pain or discomfort in any form increases arousal levels and can have a direct impact on your dog’s emotional state and therefore, their behaviour.
