-
Check the dog's weight against the collar's label: only recommend collars that are explicitly approved for the dog's weight range. Example: 'For a 3 kg Chihuahua, use a collar for dogs 2-8 kg, and monitor for 24 hours.'
-
Recommend topical spot-on treatments instead of collars for small dogs, as they allow more precise dosing per kg.
-
If the owner insists on a collar, advise to remove it during unsupervised time to reduce ingestion risk, and to wash hands after handling.
