Carson Manufacturing And Assembly  

A typical pet collar is encased in a sleeve of a pliant, non-chafing material including padding on at least one surface in contact with a pet neck region. The sleeve is formed as an annular cylinder having a longitudinal overlapped portion. A plurality of releasable fasteners is distributed along the length to hold the overlapped flaps together to form the annular cylinder. Appropriate pesticides, deodorizing fragrances, and/or perfumes may be distributed along the interior length of prthe sleeve so as to be out of contact with the pet. In an alternate embodiment, the annular cylinder may be formed to have a longitudinal seam.
