Fitting & Usage Instructions
DOG StreamZ silicone collar is just that, a collar. It is worn around the dogs neck. The collars are not designed to be wrapped around the dogs leg.
Please note: StreamZ Technology provides full-body coverage when worn around the dog's neck.
Cutting the collar to size
For the ideal fitting attach the full length collar to your dog and then cut the excess off, ensuring around 5cm to the dogs neck size is left to allow easy removal and reattachment when required. Be careful not to cut the collar too short as this will make fitting and removing tricky. Collars cut to the wrong size cannot be exchanged.
Leave one fingers width between the collar and your dogs neck for the perfect fit.
The collar is fastened using a stainless steel buckle which grips the silicone material in place.
How long should my dog wear the collar?
The DOG StreamZ silicone collar should be worn by each dog for a minimum of 8 hours a day, although results have been reported as significantly greater when used 24/7. Our advise is that the collars are worn when your dog is resting/sleeping.
Due to their non-invasive nature the technology can be used 24x7, including directly after exercise when the dogs muscles are in recovery and even whilst exercising!
The collars are fully waterproof and not effected by water.
Maintaining the StreamZ collar
The silicone dog collar requires very little maintenance once in use.
To keep clean simply wipe with a warm soapy sponge.
The DOG StreamZ collar is fully waterproof and can be worn in rivers, the sea and in most weather conditions including muddy fields and the snow. Once used in saltwater we do advise that the silicone is wiped clean.
Warnings before use
The stainless-steel metal buckle does not use a breakaway feature so users are advised to remove the collar if your dog is walked off the lead. This is simply to protect your dog from catching the collar on branches, etc.
Dog leads cannot be connected to DOG StreamZ collars.
The silicone material is manufactured in the UK under ISO conditions and contains non-toxic FDA approved silicone which is suitable to be worn against the skin of your dog. (food grade silicone). Some dogs may however be allergic to silicone. If you notice any discomfort or discolouration of the skin within the first 24 hours then remove the collar. No refunds are issued if your dog is allergic to silicone as this is entirely out of our control.
Not suitable for dogs fitted with a pacemaker
StreamZ technology should not to be used by any dog fitted with a pacemaker, consult your vet if you have any concerns regarding a diagnosed heart condition. This is a regulation within the UK and relates (we think, as no one can tell us) to traditional magnets creating a pulse which can interfere with the rhythm of a pacemaker. StreamZ does not pulse, but as we are classified as a ‘magnetic device’ we are constrained by the same regulations.
