BioThane® Collars FAQ
Which hardware finish should I choose?
Solid Brass stays looking like new with regular cleaning. Silver (Nickel-Plated) and Matte Black (Zinc Alloy) buckles are plated finishes that stay sharp with minimal upkeep. Nickel-Plated and Matte Black buckles are lighter weight. Heavy use on plated finishes may affect appearance over time, but won't impact performance. Rinse and dry all hardware thoroughly after any exposure to water.
Are BioThane collars waterproof?
Yes, 100% waterproof. Won't absorb water, perfect for water adventures. Just rinse and wipe dry.
How do I find the right size?
Measure your dog's neck at the base with a flexible tape. You should be able to slip 1–2 fingers comfortably between the collar and your dog's neck. If your dog is between sizes, go larger. For buckle collars, choose a range where your measurement falls near the middle. Not sure? Email us at info@vividcanine.com before ordering.
Do I need to condition BioThane?
No conditioning needed. The material stays flexible without any special treatments.
