Plus I have nice pretty collars and the yard is black dirt at the moment - doesnt make for very nice collars after a few days lol. I put his collar on when we go out, or just his harness for walking. And he is microchipped, god forbid he should get out somehow. But if he somehow escaped when we're out with his collar on, he has a name tag with my number on it, and a tag saying he is microchipped.

    Nala wears her collar 24/7, with a little bell on it. She doesn't go outside - the bell is for our benefit, not the wildlife! Haha. That bell has saved my ankles from an attack many times
    Oh ya....all 3 cats wear theirs 24/7 as well.
    Big Boy Boots(my cat who claimed and lives with my Mum) has a leather "spiked" puppy collar that my Dad made into a "kitty safety" collar and a tag....my 2 have nylon kitty collars!

    Peanut is always naked inside the house. he has 3 doors to get thru to get out and he is never more then 5 feet from me so i don't worry about him getting out without a collar on.

    it depends...usually off in the house unless company is over.
    so if I need to grab him or he slips out the door when someone's coming in for precaution.

    don't like the noise or marks it leaves, imagine its uncomfortable to wear...<<

    My dogs are completely naked too at home. They're completely free. I worry much about choking as they are so playful.

    Sam is an only dog here, so I don't need to worry about things that go along with that. I would prefer to leave it off in the house, but with 6 people living in the house the door opens to randomly to leave him without while we live in a neighbourhood with nut jobs and speeders. Ok it's not that bad, but it just takes one time for him to slip out and decide the road looks like fun... I'd rather have the collar to grab onto if need be. He's usually great around the door though. :)

    I prefer collarless dogs. But at our apartment, we have them on because they have to go out on a leash and i Guess it is out of pure lazyness of not wanting to have to put them on and off 10 times a day.
