If you’re on the hunt for a collar and lead that looks great, feels comfortable, and stands up to real-world dog life, you’ve probably come across Biothane. But… are they actually any good? Let’s take a closer look.
What Is Biothane?
Biothane is a coated webbing material made from polyester webbing backed with a waterproof TPU or PVC coating. What that means in plain English is this: it’s strong, flexible, and completely waterproof. Unlike traditional nylon or leather, Biothane doesn’t soak up water, mud, or smells — and that’s just the beginning.
1. Durability That Lasts
One of the biggest reasons people choose Biothane is because it simply stands the test of time. Whether your dog loves the beach, swimming, muddy hikes or rolling in the grass, Biothane doesn’t fray, stretch, or weaken easily.
- Waterproof — won’t absorb moisture or take forever to dry
- Tear-resistant — ideal for active dogs
- Weatherproof — performs in rain, snow, and sunshine
This longevity means fewer replacements and better value in the long run — something all dog owners appreciate.
2. Easy to Clean (Seriously Easy)
If you’ve ever tried to clean a muddy nylon collar or re-condition a warped leather one, you’ll know why this matters.
With Biothane? Just wipe it down or rinse under the tap. No special cleaners. No lingering smells. No soggy collars left in the hallway for days. This makes Biothane perfect for:
- Beach walks
- Rainy days
- Farm life
- Dogs who love mud!
3. Comfort Meets Practicality
Biothane isn’t just tough — it’s flexible and comfortable too. The coating gives a smooth feel that’s gentle on fur and won’t rub or chafe like some stiffer materials can.
Because we make our collars and leads by hand, every piece gets extra attention on:
- Edge finishing
- Buckle placement
- Sizing precision
This means better fit, better comfort, and better performance.
4. Style Without Sacrifice
Let’s be honest — dog gear should look good too. Biothane comes in a wide range of colours, from muted naturals to bold brights. Whether you love classic navy and tan, pastel peach, powder pink, or vibrant flamingo pink, there’s a shade to suit every personality. Because we handcraft each collar and lead, your dog gets something truly unique, not mass-produced.
5. Perfect for All Dogs
From tiny pups to big, boisterous breeds, Biothane collars and leads work beautifully across sizes and temperaments:
- Puppies — lightweight, wipe-clean, and resilient
- Active dogs — weatherproof and rugged
- Daily walkers — low-maintenance and comfortable
- Outdoor adventurers — mud, water, and trail-ready
