FAQs: Biothane Collars and Leashes

1. What is Biothane?

Biothane is a durable, waterproof, and odor-resistant material made of polyester webbing coated with PVC or TPU. It’s known for its strength and flexibility, making it an excellent choice for dog collars and leashes.

2. Why choose Biothane over traditional materials?

Biothane offers several advantages over leather or nylon:

   •   Waterproof: Perfect for dogs that love to swim or play in the rain.

   •   Odor-Resistant: Unlike other materials, Biothane won’t hold onto smells.

   •   Durable: It’s incredibly strong and can withstand daily wear and tear.

   •   Easy to Clean: A quick wipe with soap and water keeps it looking like new.

   •   Vegan-Friendly: No animal products are used in its manufacturing.

3. Are Biothane collars safe for my dog?

Yes! Biothane is soft and flexible, ensuring your dog’s comfort while being tough enough for safety. It’s also non-toxic and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for most dogs.

4. How do I clean & care for Biothane collars and leashes?

Simply wipe the collar or leash with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. For tougher dirt, you can rinse it under running lukewarm water. Always dry thoroughly after cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the integrity of the material. Do not wear in conjunction with a flea collar, as this may stain or degrade the materials.

5. Are Biothane products strong enough for large or strong dogs?

Absolutely. Biothane is incredibly strong, with many products able to withstand hundreds of pounds of pull force. It’s an excellent choice for large or active dogs. We also use hardware that is rated for 375+ pounds of pressure. Additionally, we use chicago screws with loctite to ensure maximum strength and reliability for our collars and leashes.

6. Do Biothane collars come in different colors?

Yes! Biothane comes in a variety of vibrant colors, ensuring your pup’s accessories are as unique and stylish as they are. If you are interested in a color that is not listed on our site, we may be able to order for a custom product.

7. Are Biothane collars adjustable?

Yes, our Biothane collars are adjustable to ensure a perfect fit for your dog. Be sure to measure your dog’s neck and refer to our sizing guide for the best fit.

8. What is your processing & shipping time?

Our products are currently shipped out within 1 week from the date the order was placed. Occasionally it can take longer if we run out of a color, hardware, etc. but your order will ALWAYS be fulfilled if an order was placed, or you will hear from us directly and be refunded in full. Shipping time varies based on the shipping option you choose at checkout.

9. Is Biothane environmentally friendly?

Biothane is a synthetic material, so it’s not biodegradable. However, its durability means it lasts much longer than traditional materials, reducing waste over time.
