Good news.......my puppy MJ is fine. The collar that he was wearing was a Lupine. I always buy Lupine because they are good collars and they are 100% guaranteed even if your dog chews it. The bad news is...I called Lupine yesterdat and told them how my puppy almost choked to death wearing one of their " breakaway collars ". The man that i spoke to was very nice nice and very sorry that it happened. He then informed me that the collars that they make for dogs are NOT breakaway collars even though they look like it. The only official breakway collar that they sell are really small ones for cats. I suppose that would be true for any company thast makes collars that we would assume would break away and come off should one of our dogs get into trouble....wrong!!!! Everyone needs to take those collars off your dogs and only have them wear any type of collar if you are going someplace. the man was very nice and we spoke for quite a while. I told him that I especially liked the sea turtle collar ( go figure, lol ) that Nichole has. He asked for my address and he is sending me a turtle key chain to match Nichole's collar. get your collars off your dogs!!!!
