Do Italian Greyhounds need special collars?
Italian Greyhounds require a special collar because the sleek shape of their heads makes it easy for them to back out of a regular collar or harness. A martingale collar or limited choke collar will tighten as a dog pulls, making the collar too small for the dog to slip out of.
Why do Italian greyhounds wear thick collars?
Many of the sighthound breeds have short and delicate coats that can wear out from constant contact with dog collars.
