Collars are a great way to ensure our dogs are safe and don’t wander off when outside. But when your pupper is inside the house, they really don’t need them. As a matter of fact, as a recent viral video TikTok shows, they are better off without them.

TikTok user @finneasandmilo shared a video on social media that shows the dangers of collars inside the house. They didn’t take their dog’s collar immediately after returning from a walk, and the canine ended up getting it stuck between the sofa cushions.

The poop doggo was unable to move or get free, but luckily, its owner was there to save them.

@finneasandmilo also attached a report about how an upward of 26,000 collar related accidents take place each year. 

“We came in from a walk and he was brushing on the side of the sofa (he wanted his fleece off) and his tag got caught in a matter of seconds. This wasn’t causing him any distress or danger, but a reminder that dogs can get caught on anything in seconds. Such a simple thing can save your dogs life, “@finneasandmilo shared in the caption of the video.

Check out the video below and keep this warning in mind next time you have your dog running around the house with a collar on.
