The Receiver
Collar has injured
my pet’s neck.
• Failing to follow the important safety information at
the front of the Operating Guide has caused pressure
ulcers. Some descriptions of advanced pressure ulcers
describe the sores as looking like burns on the dog’s
neck. Be assured that electronic collars do not use
enough energy to create electrical burns. The energy in
an output pulse is only a few thousandths of a Joule; it
is similar in nature to the static pulse that you may feel
when getting out of your car. In some cases, pressure
ulcers are described as chemical burns. The battery in
your Receiver Collar is sealed, in addition, your collar’s
housing is also sealed. This redundant sealing makes
it virtually impossible, without misuse or abuse, for
your Receiver Collar battery to leak onto your pet’s
neck. Please review and follow the important safety
information on pages 5-7, and the instructions in Step
3 under the heading “Fit the Receiver Collar” on pages
24-25.
