My white dog has discolored fur around his collar, will his fur go back to its normal color if I discontinue using the metal prong collar?

Full Question:
Cindy,

I have a white Lab and have been using a metal prong collar. Lately I've noticed that his fur around the collar is discolored (grey colored). Is the discoloration caused by the metal prong collar? Will his fur return to its original color if I stop using the metal prong collar?

Thanks,
Steve

There are some light colored dogs that end up with discolored fur from metal collars. We’ve recently started carrying these curogan collars, as they are not as likely to cause discoloration.

Some dogs (less than 10%) do react on Curogan with a discoloration.

I hope this helps.
