Please read and follow the instructions in this manual. Proper fit
of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long, or made
too tight on the pet’s neck may cause skin damage. This is called
bed sores; it is also called decubitus ulcers or pressure necrosis.
• Avoid leaving the collar on the dog for more than 12 hours
per day.
• When possible reposition the collar on the pet’s neck every
1 to 2 hours.
• Check the fit to prevent excessive pressure; follow the
instructions in this manual.
• Never connect a lead to the electronic collar; it will cause
excessive pressure on the contacts.
• When using a separate collar for a lead, don’t put pressure
on the electronic collar.
• Wash the dog’s neck area and the contacts of the collar
weekly with a damp cloth.
• Examine the contact area daily for signs of a rash or a sore.
• If a rash or sore is found, discontinue use of the collar until the
skin has healed.
• If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your
veterinarian.

These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable.
Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel
contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. You may
find after some time that your pet is very tolerant of the collar. If
so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to
continue daily checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are
found, discontinue use until the skin has fully healed.
• The PetSafe
®
VBC-10 Vibration Bark Control must be used
only on healthy dogs. We recommend that you take your
dog to a veterinarian before using the collar if he is not in
good health.
• Do not shave the pet’s neck as this may increase the risk of
skin irritation.
• You should not make the collar any tighter than is required for
good contact. A collar that is too tight will increase the risk of
pressure necrosis in the contact area.
