Just a random thing I thought of during Oliver's monthly bath last night... both my cat and dog wear collars pretty much 24/7 (Oliver is FIV+ so I want to be cautious in case, God forbid, he ever gets out - it's on his tag)... now, my kitty goes bald (pretty much, there's still some undercoat there) around the neck from his collar... it's definitely not too tight, I can get two fingers under it and when he wears bandannas, they're even looser... my pup on the other hand, doesn't have any mark of wearing a collar... is it just because my dog has a thicker, labrador coat, that's meant to be tough?
Not a big deal, I'm just curious... I know it's not like a skin problem with Oliver - there is no rash or irritation and the baldness is only under the collar... the vet has also seen this and is not conerned. His collar comes off for a bit each month when he gets his bath, until he's completely dry...
Let me know what you think! Thanks!
