cleo Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hey guys, my husky puppy is almost 3 months old, and when I brought her home I attached a bell charm to her collar so I can easily find her. I've been told the bell charm will interfere with the puppy's hearing and that I should never put it on. Is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyshqa Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 It's going to interfere in the sense that the dog will have a noisy, annoying distraction attached to them close to their ears 24/7 but it won't damage her hearing or anything. Personally I'd say take it off, it's not too difficult to just take a look around for the pup (or at 3 months, not let her out of sight in the first place ) and I know how frustrated I'd be if I had an irritating noise I couldn't escape from!

HuskyMom09 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 bell charms are for cats, not husky puppies. If you are worried about finding your puppy in your house attach a leash to her and don't let her out of your sight or limit her space with gates.

sharloid Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 I agree with the above comments. I'd keep her where you can see her for now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBnab Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I just put a small id tag on Zoya's collar (it is for medical purposes) and I find that I can hear that jingling just a bit. The tag is on a small ring, which is attached to the ring on her collar. For us...hearing the tag is usually good. It is when she is quiet that I know I need to check on her. lol The old baby gates I had in my attic are also coming in very handy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
