The PetSafe
®
Big Dog Deluxe Spray Bark Control Collar is not a toy. Keep
it away from the reach of children. Use it only for its pet training purpose.
Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit of the
collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too tight on the
pet’s neck may cause skin damage. This is called bed sores; it is also
called decubitus ulcers or pressure necrosis.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every 1 to
2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in
this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure on the
electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the neck 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.
For additional information on bed sores and pressure necrosis, please
visit our website.
These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. 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 neck area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the
skin has fully healed.
• The PetSafe
®
Big Dog Deluxe Spray Bark Control Collar must be used
only on healthy dogs. We recommend that you take your dog to a
veterinarian before using the collar if he is not in good health.
• Do not shave the dog’s neck as this may increase the risk of
skin irritation.
