What can i do, White Dog-Gray Collar?

I have an all White Siberian Husky and we have one of those chain collars on him, not one with spikes! In any event, no matter what we do, every time we bath him or even get him professionally, he in a day or two has a gray collar on his fur from the chain… We have tried a harness when he was a young pup, however he found a way to chew it off, we have also tried leather, and all sorts of regular collars, and he just chews them off, this one has worked the best, he just gets that gray ring around his neck on his fur…. Any suggestions?
Only serious ones please.

You should never leave a choke chain (the chain collar) on a dog full-time. Those collars are for training only. He could catch the rings on something and choke himself — then the grey ring around his neck would be the least of your worries.

The only way he could chew a collar off is if it’s too loose. You should only be able to get 2-3 fingers (side by side, not stacked) under the dog’s collar when he is wearing it; anything else is too loose.

I’ve had Siberians for 20 years, and none of them have chewed off a properly fitted collar. Get him a regular nylon or leather collar, fit it properly, and please don’t leave a choke chain on him anymore.

As for the currently existing grey ring, find a good whitening shampoo — talk to a groomer in your area for recommendations.
