For slighter breeds, the 4-inch profile provides maximum leverage, but owners should ensure the center ring is positioned above the sternum and below the windpipe to maintain a clear airway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does this breastcollar require the use of a wither strap?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, due to the substantial weight and 4-inch width of this tripping collar, a wither strap is highly recommended to prevent the leather from sagging over the point of the shoulder, which helps prevent tripping and skin irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How should I maintain the quilted tooling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: To keep the diamond stamps crisp, use a soft-bristled brush with saddle soap to remove sweat and dirt from the crevices. Avoid over-saturating with heavy oils, as this can soften the leather too much and cause the stamped pattern to lose its definition over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e BC4SRNTQ\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Saddlery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47378715771101,"sku":"BC4SRNTQ","price":274.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/BC4SRNTQ_1770706707489.webp?v=1770706747","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/quilted-tooled-breastcollar-4-inch","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
