Collar question
Koda is 8 wks old and hasn't been wearing a collar until we picked him up yesterday & brought him home. He frequently scratches at it. I wondered if he's just getting used to it or if it's actually irritating him for some reason (material maybe) ? Should I wait for a few more days & see if he settles with it before changing it ? I assume it's an adjustment thing rather than irritation but ... ??

Re: Collar question
We introduced Romans gradually, started off with 5-10 mins at a time. He would go mad trying to get it off. Eventually he was fine and now he wears his all the time, it only took a few weeks of building up to it x

Re: Collar question
Could just be because it's new, we did what Kate ^^^^^ says they did, to acclimatise him to it

Re: Collar question
Great, thanks ! Will try it in small spurts rather than full time, it's not like he's out walking yet anyway.

Re: Collar question
That's great if he gets used to it then he'll be good for when his walks start. When does he have his injections? I'm not sure with you being in Sydney if it's the same as here?

Re: Collar question
Over here it's 1st at 8weeks 2nd at 10wks then they can go out at 12wks, but I'm not sure about oz, perhaps one of our Australian members can shed some light on it for you, but I'm sure your vets will let you know

I think you have 3 lots of jabs in Austealua, but I don't know the time scale.
