I recently started a training class with my doodle and I have to use a prong collar.  Well, I am noticing that the collar is discoloring the fur around her neck.  Not a pretty sight....grey ring around the neck of my beautiful cream doodle!  Any one else have this problem?  It is a Sprenger prong collar but I am not sure if it is stainless steel or chrome.

Thanks, whew.

Check out the tag on the red collar in the middle of the picture. That is what I use on both girls and any fosters that stay with us. From their site:

  • The text will remain legible for the life of the pet: UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED
  • They do not require a ring or hook (which will wear out in time)
  • They do not get caught on things (a safety feature)
  • They make no noise
  • They will not discolor your pet's coat
  • They do not get in the food dish


IF you are interested in ordering, let me know.  The DRC is a vendor, the price is exactly the same as the site and you can help the DRC save a doodle. 

Thanks, Adrianne, those are great. But there is still a rabies tag and a microchip tag along with the address tag.

Jarka, I buy tags from LuckyPet that are plastic and have a lifetime guaranty.  These don't discolor around the neck.  I have the tags etched on both sides and include the dog's name, both my dh and my phone numbers, the vet's phone, Avid's phone, and their county license number.  I don't have them wear the chip tag or rabies tag.  If they are legally licensed, they have to have be current on rabies.

I just ordered a stainless collar from  leashesbydesign.com.  We shall see how Bailey's neck looks after wearing it.  I am thinking...if it still turns gray, I will just put a designer scarf on her when she needs to look her best.  :)

The stainless steel should be fine. Good luck.

I have a pink one of these for Coopers tags. The collar in the photo is for a teeny tiny dog as the pouches are only a 2 1/2 inches long and 1 inch wide
