- Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the
instructions in this manual.

the electronic collar.
- Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar 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.

These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of
pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some
pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may find 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
contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the
skin has fully healed.
