Herm Sprenger Black plated and K9 Vehicle Inserts

[Ruthie]

Has anyone used the black plated Herm Sprenger collars? Do they wear well?

Also wondering if anyone has any experience with this product in any type of vehicle, or has seen one in person? I wonder if the dogs get enough air flow and if there is enough room for two full grown males. I see they sell dividers. Pretty pricey, but if they would work, I might just start saving up for one.

Not sure what is different about the black plated vs normal prong collar, but HS is a very reputable brand in the prong collar market. I have one as well as a Pet Smart brand and reach for the HS consistently. Rarely do I use the Pet Smart one. In fact, I only use it if I can't find the HS one...

I have a HS and really like it, but I wanted to try the configuration with the prongs going two ways. I really like the Curogan, but I couldn't find one in that configuration without the quick release. I think the black plated looks cool, but I wonder if it will peel after a while.

Police use inserts like that but their dogs are full time......and they are vehicle make /model specific I think

If you can afford it.........

They usually leave the cars running though with the AC going, dogs in them and a temperature alarm system. They are permenentaly installed. They are only designed to fit certain vehicle models.

I think two full grown males could be pretty cramped.

I think the insert system that you have listed is designed to be mounted permanently in the vehilce. It's not a "put it in to use it and then take it out when you want your back seat" system.
I'm sure someone makes a system that you can use as needed but most of those are for the back end of the vehicle.

I wouldn't need to put it in and take it out, but would probably need to take it out if I were going to sell the vehicle. The one I linked to would fit in my current vehicle.

Not being big enough would be an issue though.

I've had black-plated fursavers, and the black plating does wear/chip off over time to show the silver collar underneath. Same with the "antique" ones.

Was it a Herm Springer?

Ah- I didn't see that it was one of those. I also am curious about the two-way prongs. I find that my dog's prong collar does tend to turn around her neck over time, and it seem the two way ones would prevent this.
