Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered

Last night I put the adaption collar on my new puppy to help him settle at night but he won't stop itching since putting it on as if he irritated and he actually cried more last night with it on, should I take it off?!

It is up to you if you want to keep the collar on or off. I can tell you that usually after a few days they will get used to wearing the collar. I personally would give it a few days (3 to 4) and if he is still bothered by it I would remove it and look for a different solution. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
