Yes! BioThane® is 100% waterproof. It is made with an extremely durable polyester webbing core which prevents it from absorbing water. BioThane® products do not require sealing to protect and/or increase longevity.

While BioThane® is extremely durable and strong, it is not a match for sharp objects (including teeth) which, if allowed to come in contact BioThane®, may puncture the product. If your pet is allowed to bite or chew on BioThane®, there is the possibility it being chewed through. We always recommend checking your pet's gear for signs of wear and tear.

BioThane® is highly regarded for its impressive strength, UV stability, and non-stretch properties, making it a superior alternative to imitation nylon waterproof webbing. Using a polyester core allows BioThane® products to maintain their durability without needing specialized end sealing, contributing to a longer lifespan and better overall performance.

BioThane® is engineered to resist odors and stains. It performs exceptionally well in everyday conditions. However, it’s not entirely odor or stink-proof. Potent substances — such as skunk spray — may leave behind lingering odors that regular cleaning may not be able to eliminate. Extra care may be required in these cases.

Lighter colors are more prone to possible staining, so a little extra care with soap and water can prove very helpful. Magic Eraser and/or baking soda does help with cleaning.

Deet may cause tackiness and/or pitting of the BioThane® material.

Harsh cleaners should be avoided when cleaning your BioThane® gear.

Extreme heat can damage BioThane®, so washing in a dishwasher or washing machine on a heated cycle is not recommended. Steel wool pads should not be used to clean BioThane®.

BioThane® leashes and collars are waterproof, stink proof and generally stain resistant. However, sometimes life happens.

We recommend handwashing with mild soap and water, along with a soft brush (a tooth brush works great!) for more stubborn dirt, and a soft cloth. Solid brass hardware may leave marks on BioThane®, which may require a little extra scrubbing. A Magic Eraser works well for this. It is important to rinse your BioThane® gear with fresh water after exposure to both chlorinated and salt water. This will help maintain the longevity of your leash and collar. BioThane® gear should be allowed to completely dry prior to being stored away.

Harsh cleaners should be avoided when cleaning BioThane®.

No, it will not! BioThane® has a smooth, slightly textured surface. BioThane® prevents rashes and irritation from happening on your pet's skin as it dries quickly and does not absorb water. BioThane® is perfect for pet's with all types of fur!

With regular use and handling, as solid brass hardware is exposed to oxygen, oxidation occurs which results in a tarnish or patina on the surface of the brass. This creates a dull finish. Regularly cleaning your hardware is the best way to keep your hardware looking shiny and bright.

Our matte black and brass plated hardware will scratch and/or fade over time and with regular use. This does not affect the overall integrity and strength of the hardware.

To clean solid brass hardware:, We suggest using baking soda or toothpaste with a tooth brush. Either of these will do a fantastic job of cleaning your brass so it looks like new!

To clean brass plated or matte black hardware: We suggest washing it with mild soap and water and drying it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
