Chain necklaces don't always have to be black or gray and made of stainless steel: our CUROGAN chains come in a brilliant rose gold. But they can do more than just look good.
In our guide, you can find out everything you need to know about CUROGAN as a material and the advantages of CUROGAN.
What kind of material is CUROGAN?
CUROGAN is a special alloy, i.e. a mixture of different metals, which is used in the manufacture of dog necklaces. The alloy consists of copper and tin and contains no nickel.
You will only find this unique alloy at SPRENGER. All our CUROGAN chain collars are dog collars made of solid material.
What are the advantages of CUROGAN collars for dogs?
CUROGAN collars were developed for dogs that react to other materials and metals with fur discoloration. Thanks to the special mix of materials, CUROGAN chain collars are an alternative for over 90% of these dogs, allowing both dog and owner to benefit from the advantages of a metal chain collar.

We generally recommend CUROGAN chains for dogs with light-colored or white fur in the neck area.
Due to the unique material, CUROGAN dog chains are particularly interesting for dog owners whose four-legged friends are allergic to nickel, as the absence of nickel minimizes the risk of skin irritation and allergic reactions.
Advantages of CUROGAN at a glance:
- minimizes coat discoloration in (light/white) dogs
- special copper alloy with high strength
- solid material - polished
- nickel-free
- rust-free
- recyclable - sustainable
- Care with our Diamond Paste (metal polish)
What are the disadvantages of CUROGAN as a material for dog necklaces?
CUROGAN is a slightly softer material, which leads to two disadvantages:
CUROGAN chains have a higher material abrasion in the links and should therefore be checked more frequently and replaced if damaged or heavily worn.
CUROGAN chains have a slightly lower strength compared to stainless steel. Accordingly, we recommend choosing a higher wire thickness than in a corresponding stainless steel chain collar.
How do I care for a CUROGAN necklace properly?
To clean a CUROGAN necklace properly, it is usually sufficient to wipe it regularly with a soft cloth. More thorough cleaning may be necessary for heavier soiling. It is important to ensure that you Do not use aggressiveCleaning agents or abrasive sponges, as these could damage the surface of the necklace.

In addition, it is advisable to check the necklace regularly for possible damage or loose connections. This not only ensures the safety of your dog, but also the longevity of the necklace.
My CUROGAN necklace has discolored - why and what can I do?
A dog necklace should be robust and durable to withstand your dog's daily activities. Nevertheless, your CUROGAN necklace may change color over time. This darkening of the material is normal and occurs naturally as part of daily use, but does not affect the safety, durability and quality of the chain.
To restore the original condition and shine of your CUROGAN chain, the chain can be cleaned with our SPRENGER Polierpaste gereinigt werden.

Why is there no CUROGAN dog chain with hook?
The great advantage of our dog necklaces with SPRENGER hooks is their adjustability and flexibility. However, to ensure that they are just as durable and secure as closed chains, these hooks must be able to withstand a high load.
However, as CUROGAN is somewhat softer than stainless steel, we have not yet been able to produce CUROGAN hooks that meet our high quality standards.
