Are choke chains really dangerous?
The short answer is Yes. The more in depth answer is that choke collars represent a much greater threat than that of simply choking your dog. As shown in an article written by Robin Walker, Veterinary and Dog Behaviorist, in the 1999 issue of The Veterinary Record. The commonly recorded injuries to dogs from the misuse of choke collars include: • Injured ocular vessels • Tracheal and oesophageal damage • Severely sprained necks • Cases of fainting • Transient foreleg paralysis • Recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis • Hind leg ataxia It is better to use a humane device to control your puppy or dog which is the reason we developed the iWalkMyDog pet walking solution.
