Collar rash

Maggie keeps getting a sore part on here throat we're she drinks the collar gets wet and stays next to her skin it fits fine as the dog trainer had a look 2 fingers under and all that.
Her chest ends up wet and face because she may play a lil in the cocker water bowl ( cone shaped to stop ears going in)
Not sure what to do with that as she has to wear one ?

Poor Maggie. Does she have her collar on all the time? Ellie's comes off when we're indoors. Would a different material help?

I thought leather but she had one before and it cracked all the time she has it all the time

Mine only wear collar or harness indoors as well x

Indoors ? When she goes in the garden I am worried if she breaks free even though it's secure she will not have it on.

Daisy has her collar on all the time, never noticed it getting wet when she has a drink, but of course now I will start checking for that

Liz you might want to try a ROAD REFRESHER - they are b rillian for stopping driipping wet faces

Sorry but my dogs also only have their collars on when they are out for a walk also because they can rub and break the coat as well as irritate.

I only have harness or collar on when they go for a walk or in the car. I always supervise them when they are outside even in a secure garden.

Mine only wear collars or harnesses when we are out and about.

Same as everyone else ours only have them on to go for a walk

Oops meant only when we go out, senior moment

I bought one of those Road Refreshers, to be honest I've been a little disappointed with it. I find it virtually impossible to see the filling line as it's written in white on a cream background so I have to guess how much to put in. I also find it quite hard to pull the top bit off when I am refilling it. I know it says you can refill it without taking the top bit off but I don't find that very easy either. I also find Daisy still gets a wet face using it so I've kind of given up and gone back to using a cat bowl.

Another who only has a collar on Simba when he is out. Minty my westie,on the other hand has his on all the time as there isn't a problem with it rubbing.

The Road refresher comes in a variety of colours most of which white shows up on... the lid is usually a bit difficult to remove to begin with but gets easier with use - oh and the volume of the bowl is given so there is no need for guesswork when filling if you have a jug.

Probably the bowl was a bit too big for Daisy as she was a puppy so could get her face into it (they do a smaller one for puppies) but everyone I know who I have recommended it to has found the same as me - no wet faces and no wet floor.

Some thing to look into but I think miss Maggie has a thing about standing in the bowl we have tried to stop her but she loves the water sometimes she drops her balls in there and batters them around in there naughty hey lol Then she runs all threw the house all wet sits on the sofa

I have orded it this weekend, delivery this week, so am exited to try and find out!

I have the Road Refresher but I still find Tasha has a wet beard. Bizarrely I have one for the car and they will not drink out of it, so I have put that one away and just take a bottle of water with me and an open bowl. I must say I don't find them that easy as Lyn says to get the lid off or to see the marker. Mine are the grey ones. It is rare that they want to drink when we are out. As for a collar mine never wear one.

I received the bowls yesterday (have ordered 2) and mine are light blue. I could find the mark but I thing I'll use a waterproof marker in black to make it more clear. Maybe an idea for you too?

Mine took to the bowls straight away and the spilling is much much much less then it was so I am happy!

As far as I know I have the smaller bowl. I could use a marker pen on the line inside the bowl but I was a bit annoyed that it was manufactured with a line I can't see. I took the top off mine every day for about a month and then got fed up of nearly breaking my nails each time so now it's in the kitchen cupboard with all the other stuff I don't use

Lyn

I bought one of these when they first came out, neither Wispa or Poppy would use it so took it back for a refund, wish they would though as the floor is always flooded after they have had a drink x

Its not so urgent that you fill to the required mark as that is really there to guarantee no spill when travelling I think... I just pour in the water!
Obviously the lid has to be reasonably tight or it wouldn't work as a non-spill bowl
As for wet beards - without a road refresher my dogs would have wet beards, chests and feet... a damp beard is a definite improvement on that!

Going to get one I have always got wet dogs and floors
