For many dogs, the word 'walk' elicits a whirlwind of excitement. Tails wag, ears perk up, and they're ready to embark on their next great adventure outdoors. But for the responsible pet parent, ensuring their dog's safety and comfort on these escapades is paramount. One of the long-standing debates among dog owners has been: harness or collar?
Today, let's delve into this debate from a health standpoint.
The Anatomy of a Dog's Neck
The dog's neck is an extremely sensitive region, housing some critical anatomical structures.
- Right underneath the skin lies the larynx.
- Adjacent to it are the large blood vessels that ensure a steady blood supply to the brain.
- The thyroid gland, responsible for numerous essential bodily functions, also sits close by.
- The upper section of the neck acts as a pivotal connector between the skull and spine.
The Potential Perils of Collars
When a dog on a leash suddenly lunges forward or when the leash is pulled abruptly, it can exert substantial pressure on these delicate structures. Over time, this can:
- Cause inflammation of the larynx and trachea.
- Pose a risk to the blood vessels.
- Exert undue stress on the spine.
Such consistent pressure can potentially lead to chronic health issues.
The Artemispaw Solution
Enter harnesses – particularly, the Artemispaw Chest Harness.
