Overview
During the summer heat and humidity when your dog is more likely to cool off in the water, sweat, and have a damp coat, there are a few common sense tips that are recommended when using SpotOn to avoid discomfort.
Why Discomfort Can Occur
Have you ever worn wet footwear during the summer for an extended period of time? It's certainly not comfortable for us, and you get so much relief when you can remove your shoes. This experience is similar to the sensation your dog could experience if they sweat a lot or wear a collar all day with a damp coat.
Go Collar-Free at Night if Possible
If your dog is exposed to water, it's beneficial to give your dog a break overnight or during downtime to keep their neck dry and comfortable. Remove the collar, clean it, and inspect their neck for any excess moisture or irritation.
Check for Irritation
Regularly check your dog’s neck and body for any signs of irritation from the collar. If irritation occurs, rotating the side with the static prongs can help. If you notice any redness or discomfort, we recommend giving them a break from wearing the collar or discontinuing its use until the irritation has healed. If the irritation persists or worsens, we advise consulting your veterinarian for evaluation.
