Recently, a friend of hers, who's studying to become a vet, told my mother that it was neglectful of hers not to have either dog collared. But my mother thinks collaring a pet is rather cruel. She sees no point in fastening a chain/leather collar around the pet's neck.
All the papers concerning shots and parasite treatments of the dogs is current, so she sees no reason to collar. More-so, where she resides, there doesn't seem to be any laws against collared or un-collared pets. The dogs are kept indoors and, when they're walked, they have harnesses fastened to their backs, which seems to be more comfortable for them.
My question to NSG is: do you think pets need to be collared? Yes or no and why?
There are pros, I don't deny it. If the dogs get lost, a collar could help in finding them. A collared pet also identifies the animal as owned and not a stray.
Cons, there are some of those too. If the collar is not appropriate, it could dig into the skin and cause a wound. A tight collar could also make a pet uncomfortable.

As long as it's not to the point of choking I don't see the problem.

Even dogs that are kept indoors? What purpose would a collar serve?

If the dog gets loose, the collar is what keeps the pound from fast tracking the animal to be put to sleep.

It was meant as a little humour. I'm trying to repress my angst in little ways.

I personally prefer, in that case, the harness collar. It seems to be far more comfortable for the pet.

I get what you say.
But I do find humorous the idea of dog thieves putting my mom's miniature Daschunds to fight.

Ah. I actually have a few of those, although my shepherd will not stand for them. My smaller dogs seem to like them alright, though, so I'll do that when I'm walking them.
