allergy to collars?????????????

[angelsmama]

each time i have a collar on angel , she breaks out in little red bumps on her neck and hair is thin ,  she doesnt wear a collar a while,  and the red bumps quit... i know its not flea allergys she is on k9 advantix so shes flea free  .. what could cause those red bumps on my poor baby? when i take the collar off her she is kicking  where it was..

What kind of collar is it?  If it's a nylon there might be an irritant that got in there and is causing a reaction.  Sanity wears a rolled leather collar, which works out awesome for him.

sounds exactly like an allergic reaction to me.

yea its nylon  my poor angel , she already deals with demodectic mange from time to time now this

Try the rolled leather.  Several reasons.  One it lets air through, two it's natural material, and three it won't trap anything under it.

Hemp is another option- it's nonallergenic and lightweight and washable. My landlords run this company out of their home here in Nashville and we use their stuff- www.earthdog.c om.
I think they were inspired to make hemp stuff so that allergic dogs could still have cool stuff!
they have some crazy designs and plain solid colors too.

Oh cool, I didn't realize there was anyone else in TN on BPO! One of my best friends used to live in Fayetteville!

The collars are in the $18 to $24 range for the bigger sizes, the solid colors are a little cheaper than the fancy designs.

Here's a picture of Nigel's collar!
