What is Biothane?
Biothane is a synthetic material made from polyester webbing coated in a waterproof layer of polymer. Originally designed for equestrian gear, its strength and durability have made it increasingly popular for dog collars and leashes. Biothane offers the appearance of leather but with none of the downsides—making it perfect for active, adventurous, or messy pups.

Why Biothane Beats Leather and Fabric
1. Waterproof and Weatherproof
• Leather collars can crack, stain, or warp when exposed to water, and fabric collars often stay damp, leading to bad odors and mildew.
• Biothane collars, on the other hand, are 100% waterproof. Whether your dog loves splashing in puddles or rolling in the mud, Biothane collars rinse clean in seconds and dry instantly, making them ideal for any weather or terrain.
2. Odor-Resistant
• Leather absorbs moisture and odors, and fabric collars can start to smell after a few walks in the rain.
• Biothane’s non-porous surface doesn’t trap smells, so your dog’s collar will stay fresh and clean no matter how much adventure they get into.
3. Durable and Long-Lasting
• While leather collars may look stylish initially, they require constant maintenance and can wear out quickly with active dogs. Fabric collars tend to fray, tear, or fade over time.
• Biothane is incredibly tough, resisting scratches, tears, and wear. Its durability ensures your dog’s collar will stand the test of time, even with heavy use.

4. Low-Maintenance
• Leather collars require regular conditioning to stay supple and avoid cracking, while fabric collars need frequent washing.
• With Biothane, all it takes is a quick wipe with a damp cloth or rinse under the faucet to keep it looking brand new.
5. Hypoallergenic and Safe
• Some dogs experience skin irritation from leather treatments or fabric dyes.
• Biothane is hypoallergenic and free of harmful chemicals, ensuring your pup stays comfortable and irritation-free.
6. Eco-Friendly Option
• Unlike leather, which involves animal products and chemicals in tanning, Biothane is vegan and more sustainable. It’s an environmentally-conscious choice without sacrificing quality.
Style Meets Functionality
Not only are Biothane collars practical, but they’re also incredibly stylish. Available in a variety of colors, widths, and designs, you can find the perfect match for your dog’s personality. Whether you prefer a classic, minimalist look or a vibrant, eye-catching design, Biothane offers options that blend form and function seamlessly.
