Stainless steel American Bulldog pinch collar with two O-rings

Before using the pinch collar you should know that the thickness of the wire used in each and every link has to be chosen as big as possible and the blunt heads have to be rounded off properly in order to spare dog from any injuries of the skin. Separating any two links or using one of the other 'quick-release' style of pinch collars. Open the collar like a necklace and place it around your dog's throat. To prevent eye injury, the prong shouldn't be slipped over the dog's head. Please note, if you're able to slip a pinch collar over his head comfortably, it would certainly not be a good fit in the throat area!

The size of this particular Pinch Dog Collar is 23 inch (58 cm) with prong's diameter - 1/8 inch (3.25 mm), and consists of 10 links. If your dog's neck circumference is more than 21 inch (50 cm), you can order an additional link, that will add 1 2/5 inch (3.5 cm) to the total collar length. The weight of this Dog Pinch Collar is about 7 oz (200 g).

Stainless steel is much beneficial than the normal steel especially in coastal areas where steel chains can become slightly rusty already in the shops. Besides, if your American Bulldog is crazy for water or he is permanently in contact with wetness, e.g. he is the hunting dog or the dog working for the police, chains made of normal steel will become dull after contact with wetness or salt water. But this cannot happen with stainless steel. Mind, that all Sprenger stainless steel chains are marked with the metal label and the shiny red point marked with protected HS-Germany.
