FAQs

How do I ensure the collar is safe for my cat?

Always ensure you can fit two fingers between the collar and your cat's neck. The break-away buckle is crucial for safety, releasing if the collar gets caught.

When should I remove the collar?

You must remove the collar before applying any liquid flea treatments directly to your cat's skin or fur. It is also advisable to remove it during vigorous play if it seems to be a hindrance.

Will the reflective material wear off?

Like most reflective materials, prolonged exposure to wear and tear, as well as environmental factors, may gradually reduce its reflectivity over time. Regular cleaning and care can help maintain it.

What is the purpose of the bell?

The bell is designed to alert local wildlife, such as birds and small mammals, to your cat's presence, potentially reducing the likelihood of them being hunted.

Is this collar suitable for all cats?

The collar is adjustable for neck sizes between 20-30cm. It is important to measure your cat to ensure a proper fit. It is not recommended for very young kittens or cats with exceptionally small necks.

How often should I check the collar?

It's recommended to check the collar daily for proper fit, cleanliness, and any signs of damage, especially if your cat is an active outdoor explorer.

Troubleshooting

Collar is too loose or too tight.

Adjust the collar using the slider to achieve the 'two-finger' rule: two fingers should fit comfortably between the collar and your cat's neck.

Break-away buckle does not release.

Inspect the buckle for debris or damage. Clean gently. If damaged, the collar should be replaced for safety.

Bell is not making sound.

Ensure the bell is properly attached and not obstructed. If the bell itself is faulty, it may need replacement.

Reflective material is not visible.

Ensure the collar is clean and that there is a direct light source hitting the reflective strips. Visibility is dependent on external light.

Compatibility:
