Review on Coastal Pet DCP5591TS Products Comfort by Cristina Villanueva

Revainrating 3 out of 5

semi-functional in collars

I have them in several sizes because it's not clear which fits which barb size. The number of caps is suitable for medium sized dogs (30-80 lbs) where I have used them. I use Herm Sprenger orthopedic collars and have had skin irritations. I bought this brand for lack of other options. They help minimize skin irritation due to the metal pin. They have worked on 1 out of 3 dogs I have used them on. With the second dog, I had to switch to Kurogan due to a nickel allergy, and with the third dog, the effectiveness of the spiked collar was too low. They are easy to put on once you get the right size. They mostly stay on the teeth and don't slip off. I'll keep them handy as another anti-irritant. I've only tried them on short haired dogs, I think the longer coats can get caught in the rubber. Sometimes I find that metal slides better on fur and skin than rubber tips. Most of the dogs I train I will not use. In case of irritation I start them with caps and then remove them when they get used to the collars.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Not all will fit
