During production at our factory in Iserlohn, the webbing is twisted using a special process known as "curving" – resulting in the typical curb chain design, reminiscent of a tightly knitted stitch. Curb chains are among the strongest types of chains; their tightly intertwined links make this style of chain collar particularly suitable for short-haired dog breeds. We produce curb chains from various materials, in different wire thicknesses and finishes (classic round curb or additionally flat-ground for extra shine), as well as in a variety of models (with a chain through the chain or the classic version without). In addition to our stainless steel dog collars, the CUROGAN chains are also more durable due to the use of solid, rust-free material – making them more sustainable, safer due to their high breaking strength, and significantly easier to care for than conventional nylon or leather collars. Made from 3.0mm thick CUROGAN, the chain with article number 51182-67 withstands wind and weather, even during long walks, and is even ideal for water-loving dogs. The necklace, like the slip chain, is round and armored, featuring a sturdy ring (also made of CUROGAN) for attaching a leash. The integrated slip chain makes it easy to put on and offers limited pull with a secure stop, thus meeting all the requirements of animal welfare-compliant dog equipment and providing security, for example, for dogs that might try to wriggle out of their collar in extreme situations. Not sure which wire thickness is right for your dog? 3mm wire thickness curb chains are particularly suitable for medium-sized dogs, such as the American Bulldog, Malinois, Eurasier, and Large Münsterländer. Our CUROGAN necklaces are especially suitable for dogs with light-colored fur or a nickel allergy. The material darkens over time, developing an antique finish, but still causes less fur discoloration compared to stainless steel.
