Discover why Biothane is the superior material for active dog owners.
"I can't believe it's not leather!"
Biothane is a coated webbing material that combines the strength of polyester webbing with a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) or PVC coating. The result is a durable, waterproof material that's perfect for dog collars, leashes, and other pet accessories.
Originally developed for horse tack, Biothane has gained popularity in the dog world due to its exceptional durability and ease of maintenance. It's manufactured in the USA and comes in a wide variety of colors and thicknesses.
Biothane repels water instead of absorbing it, making it perfect for water-loving dogs.
Built to withstand the toughest conditions and the most active dogs.
Simply wipe clean with soap and water - no special cleaners needed.
Perfect for dogs with sensitive skin or allergies to traditional materials.
Available in a wide range of colors that won't fade over time.
Invest once in quality that will last for years to come.

Real testimonials from happy customers
"My Lab loves swimming and her old collar would get soggy and smelly. This Biothane collar stays clean and dry no matter how many times she jumps in the lake!"
"I've gone through countless nylon leashes that frayed and broke. This Biothane leash has survived two years of daily walks with my strong puller and still looks brand new!"
"My dog has sensitive skin and would get rashes from his old collar. Since switching to Biothane, his neck irritation has completely disappeared. Worth every penny!"
How we balance quality products with environmental responsibility
While Biothane is not biodegradable, its exceptional durability means you'll replace it far less frequently than other materials. This results in less waste over time compared to repeatedly replacing worn-out collars and leashes.
At Biothane Boutique, we're committed to minimizing our environmental impact:
A single Biothane collar can outlast 3-5 traditional collars, significantly reducing waste over your dog's lifetime.
One of the best things about Biothane is how easy it is to maintain. Here's all you need to know:
Simply rinse with water or wipe with a damp cloth to remove dirt. For tougher grime, use mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
Biothane dries quickly. Just wipe with a towel and let air dry. No need for special treatment.
Store in a cool, dry place. Biothane is resistant to mold and mildew, so you don't need to worry about special storage conditions.
