can this item get wet if a dog runs into the water with it on?

My friend has a dog that goes in a swampy area with it on.... Probably not swimming....

I have not tried it, but it is sealed with o rings, so it should be water proof to a point. i'm sure it was not made to use under water.

I doubt it. But I have to say, mine has been rained on and it lived. (it wasn't immersed in water, but it did get wet.) I would tend to think that since it's an electrical device, it's not particularly water resistant.

unfortunately, my dog hasn't had the need to have the collar submerged in water since i live in the city and my dog doesn't come into contact with any type of water submergen in the winter time. right now, he has only worn it in the rain with no problem and wallowing his neck in the snow so i really can't say. Sorry.

No. Although I have kept mine on my dog when she was outside in light rain, I try not to. One of our first 2 collars was damaged by a fairly small amount of liquid. (The second one broke when I pulled on it, instead of her collar... oops!)

Should work. It washes well and fluids don't go through. If the dog just leaks a bit rather than letting it all go at once you should be fine. If the volume is high, you may get pooling and puddles.

No I don't think so. It may fare reasonably if it's fully under cover but definitely shouldn't get wet.

It could get wet . I have a small dog that tinkles when he greets people . I used a panty liner in it .

I think you are supposed to take the collar off prior to it getting wet. If it was just once, it's probably ok, but I would not continually expose it to water.

I wouldn't want mine to get wet, but I'm pretty OCD. It is made of a material that isn't waterproof but I'm sure if it's just "misting" it would be fine

Only to a certain degree. It is not water proof so water still gets in. It has rubber stoppers overmthe differnt ports so water does not get in easily.

im not sure but i would think so as long as it is warm enough the water doesnt freeze and i would make sure it is pluged into a ground wouldnt want to have a dog get shocked and check the wiring periodically to make sure they didnt chew it and it is still in great shape but i would see no problem using it outside

Works fine i n the rain, but we have Mastiffs and they don't swim. Good luck.

I have replaced the batteries in mine with less expensive ones and they work great. I haven't seen a problem with water because of rain, but I don't think I would trust any collar of this type being submersed in water for swimming. I can't believe that the manufacturer would suggest such a thing either. I would be afraid that if enough water got inside, it would cause the dog to get shocked unexpectedly. I think the cost of replacing the collar would also keep me from risking it.

My dog swims in the lake with his on with no problem. I do take it off and let it dry and brush off any sand or debris when he comes in.

No it can't get wet. It's not water tight at all. It's made only for indoor use.

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.
