Fitting the receiver collar on your pet
Important: Proper fit and placement of your Receiver Collar is necessary for effective
operation. The Contact Points must have direct contact with your pet's skin on the
underside of his neck.
CAUTION: Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long or made too
tight on the pet's neck may cause skin damage. Ranging from redness to pressure ulcers;
this condition is commonly known as bed sores.
Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours per day.
o
When possible reposition the collar on the pet's neck every 1 to 2 hours.
o
Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the instructions in this
o
manual.
Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause excessive pressure on
o
the contacts.
When using a separate collar for a lead, don't put pressure on the electronic
o
collar.
Wash the dog's neck area and the contacts of the collar weekly with a damp
o
cloth.
Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
o
If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the skin has healed.
o
If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian.
o
These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Millions of pets are
comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact
pressure. You may find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If so,
you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue daily checks of the
contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use until the skin has fully
healed. You may need to trim the hair in the area of the Contact Points. Never shave the
dog's neck; this may lead to a rash or infection.
To ensure a proper fit, please follow these steps:
10. Using the edge of the Test Light Tool, turn the battery door to the OFF position.
11. Start with your pet standing comfortably.
12. Place the Receiver collar on your pet so that the PetSafe® logo is facing your
pet's chin. Center the Contact Points underneath your pet's neck, touching the
skin. If your pet has a long or thick coat then it may be necessary to trim the hair
around the Contact Points to make sure that contact is consistent.
Note: The Receiver Collar comes with Short Contact Points. Long Contact Points
are available.
