Using your Terra Brahma dog collar is easy. Just slip it around your dog's neck and adjust it to a comfortable fit. When your dog is out and about, the center ring helps prevent the collar from getting stuck on things. As for maintenance, it's a low - effort job. You can simply wipe it down with a damp cloth to keep it clean. It's weather - resistant, so you don't have to worry too much about it getting wet, but it's still a good idea to dry it off if it gets soaked. If it's really dirty, you can wash it with mild soap and water. Just make sure to let it dry completely before putting it back on your dog. Also, regularly check the collar for any signs of wear and tear, and replace it if necessary for your dog's safety.
