![]() She put her finger in Ghost mouth to try to release the collar and when the collar did release Ghost reflex of his mouth came down on my daughter’s finger. Frankie lost consciousness, thankfully my daughter was there and tried to release the collar and it didn’t release. ![]() Both of the dogs started screaming in pain, Ghost was flaying and was dragging Franky. After I left my daughters immediately the dogs started playing and Ghost got his bottom jaw caught on Franky’s collar. My daughter has Franky’s littermate his name is Ghost, and they play quite vigorously when they are together. On October 13th, 2022 I dropped my dog Franky off at my daughter’s house. Thank you again for making a product that can literally save lives. I will tell my story to any of our pet owner friends, the rescue group that we work with, and anyone else who will listen and I will direct them to your company. My condolences on the loss of Chinook but thank you for inventing these collars so no pet owner will ever have to experience what you and I have had to experience. My internet search uncovered hundreds of stories of dogs strangling themselves with traditional collars. I have had dogs all my life and never knew the dangers that traditional collars present. Later that day I searched the internet and found your wonderful collars. Our Vet checked her out and proclaimed her the miracle puppy as she appears to be 100 percent normal!! It took about 15 minutes for her to regain consciousness and she was very weak. After about two minutes, Reese coughed and slowly began to breathe on her own. My wife began mouth-to-mouth and I began chest compressions. For all intents and purposes, she was deceased. Reese was not breathing, had no heartbeat, her eyes were open and pupils were fixed and not dilating and her tongue was blue. We estimate it took 4-5 minutes to free the dogs. I was finally able to get my fingers behind the snap and was able to un-clip it. I could not get the collar to release and could not cut it with a scissor as it was way too tight. By this time the collar had become embedded in her throat and she was unresponsive. My wife tackled Stella and I attempted to unsnap Reese’s collar. Stella, in an attempt to free herself, was dragging a lifeless Resse across the yard. When I ran outside I witnessed one of the worst things I have ever seen. During the course of play, our one dog got her lower jaw caught in her sister’s collar and was frantically trying to free herself. My wife had let the dogs into our side yard to play. Early Monday morning I was awakened by screaming and blood-curdling howls from the dogs. We have three rescue dogs and two are 10-month-old chocolate lab littermates that play extremely aggressively with each other. Thank you for making these collars! We had a regrettable incident last Monday involving a traditional collar. I’m so glad I was right there when it happened. There were no lasting injuries to either of them thank god. They were both so scared for a good hour after this all happened but then later in the day went right back to playing. Callie’s lower jaw was squeezed so hard it caused her to bleed under her chin. Dazy was so scared, and probably starved for air, that she actually pooped during this whole thing. Her jaw was released and we could finally get Dazy’s collar off. Finally, while trying to help them, I caught a glimpse of which way the collar was twisted and picked Callie up and spun her around to undo the twist. Callie is screaming this whole time because the collar is so tight on her lower jaw. Dazy’s collar was so tight we couldn’t get our fingers under it to cut it with scissors. The twist in the collar was right next to the collar release making it impossible to get to and release. It was only one twist but that was enough to start strangling Dazy. Twisting caused Dazy’s collar to cinch down on Callie’s lower jaw locking her in. She then twisted around trying to get unstuck. She managed to get the collar behind her lower canines. She did the same thing on this day, except this time she got stuck. Callie likes to grab onto Dazy’s collar while they play. When the girls were younger, about nine months old, they were playing upstairs while I was making the bed and doing laundry. And while I know you get these stories all the time, I bet most don’t come with a video showing exactly what happened, mine does. I wanted to tell you our story on why we switched to your breakaway collars.
