On my pit bull I need to replace the heavy-duty plastic collar supplied by the Invisible Fence folks with a nylon or heavy cotton/polyester collar. She has a hot spot on her neck from the plastic, probably compounded by this hot weather and her frequent dips in the wading pool out back, but the vet also found a few other spots on her, so he thinks she tends to have a skin infection that pops up every so often.
