What can be done to seal the end of the collar to keep it from fraying when it is cut off. Way too big now.

When you cut the collar off ,you need to burn the end so it doesn't unravel.

Burn the end with a lighter. While still hot use pliers to flatten the melted part.

Burn the frayed part with a lighter or a match. It will melt together. I hope this helps and have a great night.

It's nylon, so you should be able to heat it up with a lighter & the end will melt. Careful not to let it burn. Have an oven MIT ready to pinch end tight to seal

Our's hasn't frayed yet, but we have carefully burned the edges in the past...it melts a bit & seals.

1. You can use a lighter to burn the end but this doesn't look very good. 2. Use the edge of a very hot iron to seal the cut edge. You will have to clean your iron very good to get the gunk off.

My dog had knee surgery too, this collar appeared to work great until the third night when she figured out how to get around it and there was no opening. Cost me another $300! But I have heard some people used big tube socks to cover the opening. Good luck!

Buy a stainless tag and secure it on a collar that doesn't hang loosely on the dog's neck. It sounds like the collar you're using is too loose

The collars we bought were FAR too large for them - we had to get more holes made and cut off a good portion of the end

I am not sure how to fix that but one of my collars quit working completely. Unfortunately, these collars haven't turned out to be one of my best purchases.

It is an adjustable nylon collar. We us it on a 22 lb beagle. We cut the excess strap off and used a lighter to melt the end so it doesn't fray.

I measured the collar I bought, its 15 inches long. the company says that's a medium . looks like you might need a large.. you can work with the collar if its too large , but not if it too small. I love the collar. I hope I helped a little. get it home if it doesn't fit return it.

Hi Peter,The strap is extremely long so you can cut it off at any size. We have a 150 lb. Great Dane here that can wear it.

It did not fit a smaller collar like I had hopped. I too was using it for a cat. Ended up just going to the local pet supply store and picking one out there.

The collar pictured is a versatile size and should work well for you. The length is long enough for larger dogs and can be cut shorter for smaller dogs

The collar is too large for this size dog. I don't think they make collars for very small dogs.

I think it will be too big. We have a 35lb Beagle mix and when we put it around her neck there is an extra foot of strap hanging off. We have to put a rubber band around the collar and tuck the tail end up under it or it drags on the ground. In hindsight I probably should have got a bigger collar but I thought she'd grow more. I haven't seen the next size down though, so I don't know how that would fit. Also I don't know if it's possible to get a smaller strap for this unit.

No problem with that but you should know that when they get WET they quit working and Amazon wouldn't stand behind that product. So if you have only had the collar for a short while return it and get a better product.

I have cut the material and gave some thought to fraying before making the cut also. I had an old iron that I had warmed(not hot or you'll melt the fabric) standing by. After making the cut, I ran the warm iron over the cut line to soften the cut area and fuse any frayed ends together. You can also create a hem at your cutline-folding the cutline and frayed ends under. I used a hot glue gun(low setting not high) to bond the hem closed. Heat is your friend-just don't get carried away or you'll melt things rather than soften and join. If you are going to have some extra, just cut off a small piece and experiment.

You'd probably need two extra links. We have the medium size collar and each link adds approx. 1-1/4" in length

We have a really large pit bull and unfortunately the collar did not fit-needed an extra large.
