FAQ - About this Product

What makes BioThane® different from leather or nylon?

BioThane® is a polyester webbing with a waterproof coating, offering the strength of leather and the convenience of nylon — without their drawbacks. It doesn’t crack, fray, absorb odours, or require special care, making it a reliable choice for everyday dog accessories.



Are BioThane® collars and leads waterproof?

Yes. BioThane® is 100% waterproof, mud-resistant, and odour-resistant. Products can be wiped clean with just a damp cloth, which makes them appealing to customers with active dogs.





Will BioThane® cause skin irritation?

No — BioThane® is hypoallergenic and has a smooth, non-porous surface, making it safe for dogs with sensitive skin while preventing rubbing or fur loss. Many customers find BioThane® collars even more effective than traditional rolled collars at reducing fur loss and matting, thanks to the material’s consistently smooth and dry finish.







Will the colours fade?

All BioThane® products are colourfast. Bright neon shades may naturally fade slightly if exposed to constant direct sunlight, but overall the colours remain vibrant for years.







Do BioThane® products stretch or weaken over time?

Unlike fabric or leather, BioThane® does not stretch, rot, or absorb water. It remains flexible in all weather conditions, including freezing temperatures.





Are these products seasonal or year-round?

The Splatter Collection is a proven year-round bestseller and has quickly become one of our most popular ranges since launch. Retailers can choose to stock individual collars and leads, or maximise value with our cost-saving 24-piece bundle options, ideal for creating a strong in-store display.





What hardware options are available?

Our standard BioThane® collars and leads come fitted with colour-coated zinc die-cast hardware, which is strong, lightweight, and perfectly suited for everyday use, lake swims, mud and puddles.

For retailers serving coastal areas or customers whose dogs regularly swim in the sea, we also offer an Everlast Range upgrade. This features premium stainless steel, gold brass, or aluminium hardware, all of which provide enhanced resistance to saltwater corrosion and can significantly extend the lifetime of the product.







Are the products suitable for strong or large dogs?

Absolutely – all our collars and leads are suitable for large breeds and strong pullers. BioThane webbing has a break strength of 280-500kg, it's lightweight and strong material makes it perfect for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from small companions to powerful pullers.

What makes BioThane® better than leather or fabric?

Unlike leather, BioThane® doesn’t crack, stiffen, or absorb odours when wet. Unlike fabric or textiles, it doesn’t hold mud or bacteria. It combines the durability of leather with the convenience of being waterproof, wipe-clean, and long-lasting.

Are matching sets available for merchandising?

Yes – collars and leads can be displayed as coordinated sets, which are popular with customers looking for a complete look.



Are these products suitable for display in high-traffic retail environments?

Yes – BioThane® is wipe-clean and resilient. Any marks from customer handling can be easily cleaned, ensuring stock always looks fresh and sale-ready.

Are BioThane® collars and leads vegan-friendly?

Yes. BioThane® is a synthetic material, offering the look and feel of premium leather without animal products — a great selling point for eco-conscious customers.
