Has anyone had the purple tags interfering with a dogs sense of smell?

Been using them, no ticks, mosquitoes or flies

Go to YouTube and watch Houndsman XP video on how to put them on. Chris does a nice job. He also has a great podcast with Shorty on a lot of tricks on different things you can save money on when treating your hounds. They are not Vets nor am I, but having had hounds for almost 70 years, I have used/done a lot of what they say with no problems. One thing you may find interesting is the dosage of ivermectin “if” you give it orally.

It’s called “Caring for Hounds on a Budget”

I use them. I cut them in half and zip tie to the collar. I have not watched the houndsman xp as stated above but I am guessing they probably do it very similar. I have not noticed any negative side effects. THEY WORK!

If that was a good idea wouldn't someone make "dog tags"?

There is nothing on the box that has a "weight" on it so I don't know where you are coming up with this 1000 pounds??? If fact, it says it can be used on calves. So I would say a 35 pound calf to a 2000 pound bull uses the same tag. BUT it's still your choice, no one is making you try it.
