Dog Information

Is there any reason why cats should not wear dog collars?

On the packing it stated, not for use by cats? Why?

1. how big is your cat?! If it's a chain...no...
2. Cats have a tendency to get themselves caught on something by the collar. They need a safety collar that breaks away when they get caught. That's why. Good question!
3. Cats tend to climb and get places they can get stuck. If you go to a good pet supply and look at cat collars - they all have the break away feature. Using a dog collar COULD cause your cat harm if he were to fall or get stuck. Better to just get a cat collar.
4. Cat collars usually have a safety clip on them, which allows the collar to become undone if the cat gets it caught on something - like a plant/bush. Also, cat collars are more stretchy (for the same reason). A lot of people let their cats go outdoors on their own, and cats have a tendency to get into small places, so having these safety features on the cat's collar prevents them from getting it caught, and getting stuck, or possibly strangled.
5. Most cat collars have a break away section in case the cat were to get caught on something. Dog collars don't have that.
6. except they may be to big. Try a puppy size one and those expandable ones 'cause cats you just never know.
