Who Is The PetSafe KeepSafe Break Away Collar For?

The PetSafe KeepSafe Break Away Collar is a regular collar so there are no preferences as to who can or cannot wear it.

However, because this collar is a break-away, you might not want to use it on a dog that is fond of popping off his collar or a dog that still hasn’t learnt proper walk behavior. It will be too easy for them to get out of this one.

Features Of The PetSafe KeepSafe Break Away Collar

1. Material

The collar is a nylon collar and not just any regular ole collar. It’s made of the durable kind that is sure to last through a lot of handling.

Thankfully, it is also soft and comfortable. The material is washable, machine or otherwise.

2. Clasp

The collar uses two different buckles. There is the regular plastic buckle that is durable and easy to operate.

Then there is the other buckle which is what gives the PetSafe KeepSafe Break Away Collar its name. It is the break-away buckle.

Now, this buckle is also made of plastic. However, unlike the regular buckle, the idea of the break-away buckle is to open when too much pressure is applied on it.

Why will anybody need this collar? The truth is, a collar could be a potential choking hazard. It could get caught on stuff; fences, posts, branches, crates or even another dog’s teeth.

When a dog gets caught, the normal reaction is to try to pull himself free. And since he has no thumbs, it’s all pull and no pry. If the buckle is not break away, the dog could end up choking himself.

This is why the break-away buckle feature on is necessary. It ensures that when the pulling gets intense enough, the collar will let go of your dog’s neck.

 

3. D Ring

Or should we say, D Rings? Yes, this collar comes with two D Rings, one on either side of the break-away buckle. This collar just seems to be full of surprises.

Now, both D Rings are there for you to attach the leash to at the same time. You attach one end to one D Ring and the other end to the other so that it forms a kind of loop.

The reason for this is so that if the collar breaks open as you are walking your dog, you still have control of the collar till you are able to snap the break-away buckle shut.

Thankfully, snapping the buckle shut is no hassle. So you can do that on the walk without breaking your stride.

It is a good thing that the D Rings are coated because it tells us that they will last long and won’t succumb to rust when the collar is really exposed to water.

4. Tri Glide

Apparently, the only plastic things on this collar are the buckles. Because even the tri glide is metal. We think a metal tri glide is a better option. This is because its body is smooth and that allows the material to glide along pretty easily.

It is also a durable thing so you need not worry yourself overmuch.

Is The PetSafe KeepSafe Break Away Collar User Friendly?

Actually, it is. The break-away buckle does its job all on its own, without help. And the collar itself is the regular kind. There isn’t really much for you to do by way of handling.

 

 

 

Pros Of The PetSafe KeepSafe Break Away Collar

1. Safe

Because of the break-away buckle feature, this collar is probably one of the safest collars you can find on the market.

It prevents accidents that might occur due to the collar getting stuck on something. With a buckle that comes open when considerable pressure is added on it, your dog can escape potential strangulation.

The two D Rings also contribute to the safety that the collar gives. If there was only one D Ring and the collar pops open for some reason, it would fall and probably get lost.

But with two D Rings, the collar stays on long enough for you to re-fasten the buckle.

2. Durable

The PetSafe KeepSafe Break Away Collar is a combination of durable collar and coated metal. And we know that these two make the collar one solid collar that will stay for a decent length of time.

3. Easy To Clean

Not only is it easy to wash this collar but washing it does not damage the collar in anyway. The nylon remains strong and maintains its color while the metal ware are rust resistant.
