Q. How do I measure my dog?

Q. Do the cat collars have a breakaway clasp?

Q. Does your guarantee cover dog or cat scratches and/or chewing?
A. No, we guarantee all our products for defects in the hardware and other materials. Scratching or chewing through fabric is not part of normal wear or a product defect.

Q. Is it ok to tie-out my dog or put them in a crate unsupervised while wearing their collar and/or lead?
A. No, we do not recommend either as no product can fully guarantee against all possible scenarios. And dogs can be masterful at getting into trouble.
