Singer-songwriter Melanie Martinez is facing criticism for reportedly using prong collars on her pet dogs, which animal experts warn can cause serious pain and injury.
Fans and animal welfare advocates have raised concerns about the collars, noting that Martinez's dog breeds are particularly vulnerable due to their delicate neck structures. Critics argue that prong collars, which apply pressure via metal spikes, are outdated and potentially harmful training tools, and insist that safer alternatives exist for behaviour correction and walking.
