Gold Dog Chain

The gold dog chain, also called the Cuban link dog collar, is among the most sought-after collars because it features some advantages against more common models. Of course, gold chain dog collars are eye-catching and stylish accessories for our four-legged friends, but it's not just about it.

Contrary to traditional chain collars and metal choke collars that are used to teach the dog to obey for training and education, a gold dog collar doesn't feature the choking mechanism, thus being safer for the dog's health, and it also protects the dog's fur from knots without losing the sturdiness and resistance of the metal.

Due to their design and characteristics, Cuban link dog chains are usually used for larger dogs requiring more control and a resistant collar and leash. Probably for this reason, this model of dog collar is also known as a Pitbull gold chain.

Choosing a gold dog chain

When choosing a dog Cuban link chain, the first thing to be taken into account is the size and the number of the chain's links. Cuban dog collars with larger and fewer links are less dangerous for dogs with long fur or hair and prevent it from knotting and tearing, while chain collars with more, smaller links are a better choice for short-haired dogs.

Another aspect to be considered in choosing a Cuban link dog collar is the size of the dog that will wear it. After measuring the dog's neck in correspondence with where the collar will sit, it's important to choose the gold dog collar so that it leaves a space both on the upper and lower sides.

Lastly, it's important to remember that the Cuban link dog chain should be avoided for small dogs or very young dogs as the weight of the metal can damage their thin neck.

About the gold chain dog collar

Most Cuban dog collars are gold-plated and look gold, but they are made of different metals. Stainless steel collars have many advantages. First, they resist humidity and oxidation, which is convenient for dogs that swim and stay out in the rain.

A Pitbull golden chain is also resistant to rust, and breakages are unlikely to occur even when a very big, strong dog is wearing it.

Some dogs are predisposed to allergies to metals, especially nickel. Since the chain collar is in close contact with the dog's skin, it's advised to go for less toxic and safer material or even gold dog collars with an internal lining that doesn't stain the fur.
