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) buckles are plated finishes that stay sharp with minimal upkeep. Nickel-Plated and Matte Black buckles are lighter weight.
For Leashes: Solid Brass stays looking like new with regular cleaning. Silver (Chrome-plated) and Matte Black (Zinc Alloy) trigger snaps are plated finishes that stay sharp with minimal upkeep. Aluminum and Matte Black carabiners are extremely resistant to corrosion and wear and are very light.
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.
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.
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.
