I’ve never, ever heard of a breakaway dog collar. Cats are the ones jumping off stuff, squeezing through small spaces, climbing and having a much higher risk of strangulation via a caught collar. Dogs don’t typically do that, so their risk is very, very low.
I’ve never seen a breakaway on a dog. My trainer recommended a martingale, though two dogs now are “special” and were abused rescues that bite the shit out of me.
I haven’t either, and I just did some searching and I’m not seeing vets saying you should use one. I’m seeing a lot of companies that sell them claiming that vets say that, but I’m not seeing it anywhere. I’ve had four dogs in my life and I’ve never been in a situation with any of them where a breakaway collar would be needed.
That’s what I do. She still wears the martingale and I suppose if she is being a dick I could hook up to that, but I have a nice 3 point harness with a handle so if she gets in to trouble I can just pick her up like a suitcase 🤣
Pretty dog, now get a breakaway collar on it

They’re required by some dog boarding/daycare places.

a shoulder harness can save their trachea.
Harness for walks, collar for ID.

She hates when I do that of course
My dog hates wearing a harness. We’ve tried a ton of different types, and he just doesn’t like it for some reason.
He doesn’t really pull on his leash, though.
This isn’t your moment .
