Risk of skin damage. Please read and follow the instructions in this
manual. Proper fi t 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 fi t 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 our website. These steps will help keep your pet comfortable and
safe. You may fi nd 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.
