Default Luv My Dog - Sickening

Hey

I know lots of people on this board have dogs and something disturbing came across my facebook account which I wanted to raise awareness of.

Its the use of pinch collars on dogs. A kind chap called Mark Wheeler put this post up about a firm called luvmydog.co.uk who don't exactly love dogs!!

There are government epetitions, complaints on amazon, etsy etc where they are also being sold amongst other communications. I politely ask for members here to do what they can to try to stop these from being sold.

Many thanks

Truly gross - how cruel can you be I can't begin to imagine what dog owner would consider using one of these awful things

I don't even like choke collars, how can anyone think they are a good idea?
Its just plain cruel!

There are so many safer options, like a halti head collar or anti pull harnesses that work and dont injure your dog!

Unnecessary these are, I've seen a lot of American animal program's where they use these.

I have a strong powerful dog and wouldnt dream of putting one of these barbaric things on her, she wears a harness, doesn't choke and I can pull her up by it x

I saw this on FB too - absolutely grotesque.
Thanks Gaz for flagging it up here.
