A breakaway collar looks like a regular flat collar, but it has a special safety buckle that automatically pops open if the collar gets snagged or pulled with force. This is designed to prevent strangulation or choking accidents if your dog or cat gets caught on fences, crates, furniture, or even when roughhousing with other pets.
It can still hold an ID tag, so if your pet slips out, they’re not left completely without identification. Some versions also allow you to clip a leash in a way that temporarily locks the breakaway feature (so it won’t pop open on walks).
-Benefits
1. Prevents accidents
Pets can—and do—get stuck by their collars. A breakaway saves them from choking or worse.
2. Peace of mind indoors & outdoors
Perfect for dogs in backyards, cats that climb, or any pet that spends time unsupervised.
3. ID tag friendly
Even though it releases under pressure, your pet can still wear their ID tag.
4. Good for multi-pet households
If your pets like to wrestle, a regular collar can get jaws or paws tangled. Breakaway collars eliminate that risk.
5. Humane design
No prongs, no choke mechanism—just flat, comfy, and safe.
