Stain around my dogs neck
I use a martingale collar on my dog, always have since he grew big enough to not have to use a puppy collar (and I've used them on all my dogs). For the first few months I had no problems with it, now (which its been around 8 months I think with the collar) it leaves a grey stain on the white parts of his neck. Originally dog shampoo removed this stain with no problems. Now, I had to change my brand of dog shampoo (due to the fact that color orientated shampoo's are not sold around me any more {his was for brown coats, he's 3 tone brown with white} ) and its not getting rid of the stain. I don't have the money to keep switching shampoo's and I was wondering if anyone had a home remedy for getting rid of the coloration it is leaving. It has faded some with shampooing today, but it will not go away completely and I'll admit I find it very unattractive. I also do not have the funds for a new collar so that's out of the question also.
