Troubleshooting
- Embroidery Obscured: If the embroidered text becomes partially hidden when adjusting the collar, ensure the adjustable strap is positioned to keep the name and number visible. Some users have noted this can occur with certain adjustments.
- Collar Loosening: If the collar frequently loosens, ensure the adjustable strap is threaded correctly through the buckle mechanism.
- Skin Irritation: If your pet experiences skin irritation, ensure the collar is not too tight and is cleaned regularly. Consult a veterinarian if irritation persists.
