FAQs

How do I ensure the collar is fitted correctly?

You should be able to comfortably fit two fingers between the collar and your cat's neck. This ensures it is snug enough not to slip off but loose enough to prevent discomfort or strangulation.

What should I do if my cat gets their collar caught?

The collar is designed with a safety break-away buckle. If your cat gets caught, the buckle should snap open, allowing them to escape. Check the collar for damage afterwards.

When should I remove the collar?

You must remove the collar when applying liquid flea treatments directly to your cat's skin. It's also advisable to remove it during grooming sessions if there's a risk of entanglement.

Is the warning bell necessary?

The warning bell is an added feature to help protect wildlife by alerting them to your cat's presence. Some owners may choose to remove it if their cat or owner finds it bothersome, but it offers an extra layer of ecological safety.

How often should I check the collar?

It is recommended to check the collar daily, especially in the first few days of use, to ensure the fit is correct and that there is no damage. Check for wear and tear regularly.

Can this collar be used on kittens?

While adjustable, it's crucial to ensure the smallest setting still allows for the two-finger fit rule. Kittens grow quickly, so constant monitoring of the fit is essential.

Troubleshooting

Collar seems too tight or too loose.

Adjust the collar using the slider mechanism. Ensure the two-finger rule for fit is maintained for safety and comfort.

Break-away buckle doesn't release.

Check for debris caught in the buckle. If the issue persists, the buckle may be damaged and require replacement of the collar.

Bell is too loud or annoying for the cat.

Consider removing the bell if it causes distress to your cat. However, be aware this reduces the wildlife protection feature.

Reflective strip is no longer effective.

Reflectivity can diminish over time with wear. Inspect the strip; if it appears worn or damaged, consider replacing the collar for continued safety.
