I think it is better to use the collar only when you got out. Too many things can happen if you leave a collar on when you are not around to supervise. One of our dogs got it's lower jaw caught in another dog's collar and almost killed her. Luckily we were home and heard the screams of the one with her jaw caught - the other dog was strangling and could not make a sound.
With a lost or missing dog that is microchipped, you have a good chance of recovery - but a strangled dog is just gone.
My 2 cents worth :0)

Hi everyone,
I have a question I only put a collar with a name tag on when I am taking my girl out, I was always led to believe that keeping a collar on her would make a permanent indent in her neckline.
What would be the best collar for her to be able to wear on a permanent basis ? Would a choke chain be ok to wear during day and then at walk time put on her normal collar ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as only after reading recent postings have I realised how important it is that my girl is tagged at all times. She is micro-chipped but the finding process would take longer if she was to go astray. Thanks for your help.
