BioThane Leash & Collar FAQ
Which hardware finish should I choose?
For Collars: Solid Brass stays looking like new with regular cleaning. Silver (Nickel-Plated) and Matte Black (Zinc Alloy) are plated finishes that stay sharp with minimal upkeep. Nickel-Plated and Matte Black D-rings are lighter in weight. Regular use on plated finishes will affect appearance over time, but won't impact performance. We only use PVD Black D-rings, which includes a finishing process that bonds an ultra-thin layer of material directly to the surface of the solid brass d-ring hardware at the molecular level. The result is a finish that is significantly harder, more scratch-resistant, and more durable than standard paint, powder coat, or plating.
Rinse and dry all hardware thoroughly after any exposure to water.

Can I customize the colors?
Yes — choose your collar and leash colors independently to create your own combination.
Are BioThane leashes and collars waterproof?
Yes, 100% waterproof. Won't absorb water, and resists most pet and outdoor odors. Perfect for beach trips, river walks, and rainy days.
What size collar do I need?
Measure your dog's neck at the base. Take your dog's coat into consideration. You should be able to slip 1–2 fingers between the collar and neck. If between sizes, size up. Refer to our size guide
Do I need to condition my BioThane leash and collar?
No. Unlike leather, BioThane requires no conditioning, oiling, or special treatment. Just rinse with water and wipe dry — that's it.
