Can my dog swim with Virbac collar? Thanks!

The package states normal wetting from rainfall will not effect it, but advise removing the collar when bathing. So, it doesn't sound like swimming with it on would be a good idea.

I wasn't able to use collar -- my dog didn't weigh enough. I would call the Dogtra people and see what they say. Good luck!

According to the manual; only the dog wearing the collar will trigger it. That has been my experience as well. It is probably not waterproof, so would not be advisable to be worn if the dog has the ability to get into water. The prongs are about 1/2" long. Mostly covered with rubber with about a 1/8" long metal contact showing. According to the instruction, the fit is critical. Collar needs to be really snug but not so tight as to restrict breathing or cause choking.

It depends. I have a collar on the dog as well, so I have an option of using both.

My dog went swimming in a creek for a few minutes with hers on (I forgot to take it off). It still worked fine afterwards, but I wouldn't recommend doing that!!

I don't know the answer to that question but I would not recommend this shock collar. It didn't work at all and I sent it back. I bought a sport dog model and it has worked wonderfully and even is waterproof.

I wouldn't. The shock portion of the collar is probably bigger than your dog's neck

I love this collar! My dog gets really anxious, but the collar keeps him calm for about 30 days. Take it off if the dog is going to be getting wet though (like in a bath or a lake).

Use a regular collar. I even use an Easy Walk Harness with mine (underneath the vest)! LOVE this vest and so does Kody. I sewed my Service Dog patches to it as well. It is very visible and wonderful for this purpose.

The collar is not water proof and will stay wet until it dries, Check with your doctor, I suggest you buy two and switch after the shower.

Both the collar and the remote are waterproof. Even if the cover comes off the charging port it's still waterproof. My dog swims with his on all the time and we've never had a problem.

I have a 75 pound lab-boxer and it fits him nicely...but his neck is probably not as big as yours...he has more the lab neck instead of the boxer neck. The collar is very sturdy and is great for water dogs!

Yes...we simply bought another plastic collar that was thin enough to feed thru the "device". Plastic is best so that it can repel the rain. I used a skewer stick (like u grill with) to push thru one of the collar "holes" to keep the device from moving around. This now "tiny 1/4" skewer piece keeps the collar from sliding around, doesn't bother the dog at all AND both me and "my baby" love the smaller width collar!!

This is just my opinion. I wouldn't use it on a dog that goes in and out of water all day. I haven't used the waterproof part, because nothing has come up. We don't have a pool or anything like that. And I take their collar's off at that time. I sure wouldn't want to find out the hard way that it's not fully waterproof. Sorry, I couldn't help you out more.

Yes. Contact Pet Safe. I even found my dog's collar worked at my brother's house where he has installed fence for his dogs.

I agree with Cindy about the proper fit as our dog definitely responds. You do have to be sure the collar is making the proper contact with the dog's neck. Good luck
