Herman Sprenger fur saver chain - medium 2.5 cm link - stainless steel - 4 mm

A Herman Sprenger fur saver chain (chain collar) - for walks, for the show ring and for obedience work without a prong collar. This version has a medium 2.5 cm link, a thick 4 mm wire and is made of durable stainless steel, which makes it one of the strongest chains we stock.

How a chain collar works

Unlike a plain collar a chain works gently and evenly, and because it is built from single links it does not rub the coat the way webbing does. Once the size is right it stays on the dog's neck for years.

Material: stainless steel

Stainless steel resists rust and water, so it needs no special care and takes wet walks, baths and daily wear in its stride. The 4 mm wire and the medium 2.5 cm link make an exceptionally strong chain, fit even for very large, powerful dogs of up to about 110 kg.

Goes on over the head

This model has no snap hook - it goes on over the dog's head, and the two end rings take the lead. A simple, classic build with no extra parts.

How to choose the length

Measure your dog's neck circumference and add 3-5 cm. Then measure the head at its widest point, across the ears and cheekbones. This chain has no fastening and goes on over the head, so on dogs with a very broad head - an American Staffordshire terrier, a boxer, a bulldog or a pug, for example - it is the head circumference that decides, not the neck. In that case pick a length no smaller than the head circumference, even if the neck measurement points to a size or two less. If the head circumference is larger than the longest size available, choose a chain with a snap hook or with a ClickLock buckle, which closes on the neck itself. The length given is the total length, including the end rings. Available in 51, 54, 58 and 63 cm.
